Bangladesh Jamaat Leader Sparks Row With Remarks on West Bengal and Mamata Banerjee
Jamaat-e-Islami leader Nurul Huda urged Mamata Banerjee not to resign after TMC’s election defeat and called for “West Bengal’s independence,” triggering political controversy.
A political controversy has erupted after Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami leader Nurul Huda made provocative remarks regarding West Bengal and Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee.
In a video message circulating online, Nurul Huda reportedly urged Mamata Banerjee not to resign following the Trinamool Congress’ heavy defeat in the West Bengal elections. Instead, he called on her to “declare war against Delhi” and announce the “independence of West Bengal.”
Addressing Mamata Banerjee directly, Huda said, “Mamata, do not resign now. Declare war against Delhi. Announce the independence of West Bengal. The 170 million Muslims of Bangladesh will stand with you.”
The remarks have triggered sharp reactions on social media and in political circles, with many condemning the statement as inflammatory and interference in India’s internal affairs.
The controversy comes at a sensitive political moment, as the Trinamool Congress faces criticism after suffering a major setback in the West Bengal Assembly elections.
Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh is known for its hardline Islamist ideology and has often been at the centre of political debates in Bangladesh. However, there has been no official response yet from Mamata Banerjee or the Trinamool Congress regarding Huda’s statement.
Political observers believe the comments could further intensify discussions around regional politics, national security, and cross-border political rhetoric in South Asia.
