Mamata Banerjee on Bangladesh's territorial claims including Bengal: Will we have lollipop?

India TV News  

In a fiery speech in the West Bengal Assembly, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee responded to provocative remarks made by Bangladeshi politicians who claimed their country had legitimate territorial rights over parts of India, including Bengal, Bihar, and Odisha. Banerjee, not one to shy away from stirring words, quipped, “When external forces come to occupy Indian land, would Indians be handed out a ‘lollipop’?” Her comments were a direct rebuttal to a statement by a Bangladesh Nationalist Party leader in Dhaka, who asserted that Bangladesh had territorial claims over the Indian states. “Stay calm, stay healthy, and keep peace of mind,” she advised, stressing that West Bengal will stand firmly by any decision the Indian government makes. Mamata’s message was clear: despite the tensions, the people of West Bengal must remain united, stay calm, and avoid stoking further discord—both within India and with its neighbours.
