Quotes
Sukanta Majumdar
Union Minister of State for Education and BJP leader
“The person making the bomb was a Muslim, and the nine-year-old boy injured in the explosion was also a Muslim. This is the time for Muslims to realise that they should no longer be treated merely as a vote bank. As long as they remain trapped in ‘minority’ and ‘majority’ politics, this will continue to be their fate. Their children will be injured or killed.”

“Those belonging to Hinduism and a few other religions mentioned in the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) will be offered citizenship, while names of others will be removed.”

Sukriti Kumar Mandal
President of the Bangladesh Minority Janta Party (BMJP)
“We have zeroed in on constituencies where the minority, especially the Hindu vote-bank, ranges from 20 per cent to 60 per cent.”

“With an alliance with these parties, minorities can come out of their houses without fearing retaliation. Awami League is off the radar, and BMJP is the only voice of persecuted Hindus.”
