Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has said that a section of Bangladeshis has been repeatedly saying that India’s North East should be merged with the neighbouring country which is ”irresponsible and dangerous” and India will not remain silent on this. Sarma was reacting to the statement of senior leader of Bangladesh’s newly formed National Citizen Party (NCP), Hasnat Abdullah, on Monday that Dhaka should “isolate” India’s northeastern states and extend support to separatist elements in the region, if New Delhi attempted to destabilise his country.
”For the last one year, statements have been coming again and again from that country that the states of North East India should be separated and made a part of Bangladesh,” the chief minister said on the sidelines of a programme in Lumding.Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has said that a section of Bangladeshis has been repeatedly saying that India’s North East should be merged with the neighbouring country which is ”irresponsible and dangerous” and India will not remain silent on this.
