India's NRC, citizenship law is a threat to Bangladesh: BNP

| @indiablooms | Dec 14, 2019, at 05:16 pm

Dhaka/IBNS: Bangladesh's major opposition party Bangladesh Nationalist Party on Saturday described the measures taken by the Indian government like National Register of Citizens or NRC and the newly-enacted citizenship law as a threat to the independence and sovereignty of the Muslim-majority nation.

"We’ve had concerns about it from the very beginning. We see this as a threat to our freedom and sovereignty,” BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir was quoted as saying by bdnes24.

Describing the citizenship law as "communal", Fakhrul said, "It has been done to establish communal politics by destroying liberal democratic and secular politics."

“The NRC will not only destabilise Bangladesh but it will also affect the entire subcontinent,” he was quoted as saying by the news portal.

Amid mass protests against the Act, in several parts of India, Bangladesh Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen had cancelled his visit to the neighbouring nation this week.

Momen was due to arrive in New Delhi at 5:20 pm today and stay till Dec 14 next.
