Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party MP Jagannath Sarkar gave his reaction on the political crisis in Bangladesh during the conversation. Expressing concern over the current situation in the neighboring country, he has demanded action from the central government. He emphasized that Bangladesh was a part of India in history. Our own people are living there. In such a situation, it is necessary that efforts should be made to normalize the situation there.
BJP MP Jagannath Sarkar said, “Prime Minister Narendra Modi will have to take strict steps keeping in mind the political crisis in Bangladesh. If strict steps are not taken in time, the situation there will not be normal, the brunt of which will have to be borne by the common people there. Bangladesh was a part of our country. Later it was separated from our country. No steps have been taken towards giving Indian citizenship to the people of the minority community of Bangladesh. At present, it is the duty of our government to provide security to the minority people living there.” He further said, “It is our responsibility to take strict steps towards normalizing the situation there. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is constantly in action mode towards normalizing the situation there. Yesterday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar also met in this regard. As a Bengali leader, I am saying that the current government will have to take strict steps towards normalizing the situation there.” The BJP leader said, “I want to emphasize that it is the responsibility of our government to provide security to all the minorities there. I want to say that if we do not take steps in this direction in time, then no one will survive there.”
