\"\"Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee has said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has unleashed linguistic terrorism against Bengalis.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, Mamata Banerjee made these remarks during a rally held by the Trinamool Congress in Kolkata. She said that the battle to protect the Bengali language and identity would continue until the BJP was ousted from both the state and the Centre. \u201cIf linguistic profiling does not stop, the resistance movement will reach Delhi,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Her remarks come amid Indian authorities pursuing a policy over the past month to ‘push’ individuals claimed to be undocumented migrants into Bangladesh. Many of those forced out of the country claim that they are Indian citizens.<\/p>\n

Reports of migrant workers from West Bengal living in BJP-ruled states, including Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh and Delhi, being detained and deported under allegations that they were Bangladeshi citizens have also emerged.<\/p>\n

The chief minister claimed that Bengalis in BJP-ruled states were being harassed, detained and removed from voter rolls. She also announced the launch of a movement from July 27 against what she described as \u201cthe BJP\u2019s terrorism\u201d against the Bengali language.<\/p>\n

She added: \u201cWherever Bengali-speaking people are detained, we will protest. If even one person is detained, we won\u2019t stop protesting. I challenge them. How many jails, detention centres can they build?\u201d<\/p>\n

In June, four men from West Bengal, who had been picked up by the Maharashtra Police and forced into Bangladesh, were brought back on June 15. The Murshidabad Police in West Bengal had presented proof of them being Indian citizens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
