Assam Deputy Speaker Urges Action on PoK, Minority Safe Zones in Bangladesh
Assam Deputy Speaker Mominul Aowal Momin supports Rajnath Singh’s view that borders can change and PoK and parts of Bangladesh may be reclaimed; also criticises Congress over SIR
**Assam Deputy Speaker Backs Reclaiming PoK and Calls for Safe Zones for Minorities in Bangladesh**
Guwahati: Assam Deputy Speaker Mominul Aowal Momin has voiced his strong support for Defence Minister Rajnath Singh's recent statement suggesting that borders are not immutable and that Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK) could eventually be reclaimed by India. Momin echoed Singh’s sentiment, emphasizing the potential for territorial shifts in the future.
Speaking to reporters, Momin highlighted the importance of reclaiming what he considers rightfully belongs to India. He argued that the current geopolitical landscape is dynamic and that India should be prepared to assert its claims over PoK. While he did not elaborate on specific strategies, his statement reinforces a growing sentiment within certain political circles regarding the resolution of the Kashmir issue.
Beyond the issue of PoK, the Deputy Speaker also raised concerns about the safety and security of minority communities in Bangladesh. He advocated for the establishment of safe zones within Bangladesh specifically designed to protect religious minorities from persecution and violence. This call comes amidst ongoing reports of discrimination and attacks against minority groups in the neighboring country. Momin asserted that ensuring the well-being of these vulnerable populations is a moral imperative and that India should explore all possible avenues to provide them with necessary protection.
Furthermore, Momin took aim at the Congress party regarding the Sirajganj Incident Report (SIR), the details of which he did not specify. However, his criticism suggests dissatisfaction with the Congress party's handling or interpretation of the report, indicating a potential disagreement over historical or political events.
Momin's remarks have sparked considerable discussion, with some political analysts viewing them as a reflection of the current government's assertive foreign policy stance. Others have cautioned against making statements that could potentially escalate tensions with neighboring countries. The debate surrounding PoK and the situation of minorities in Bangladesh is expected to continue, particularly as India navigates its complex relationship with its neighbors.
