When Prime Minister Narendra Modi stands on the dais of the 6.3 acre ground at Thakurnagar in Bengal’s North 24 Parganas district on Saturday, uppermost in his mind will be the vexed issues of citizenship and the Matuas who form a three-million-plus strong community who mostly migrated from neighbouring Bangladesh since the 1950s. BJP’s Bengal unit chief Dilip Ghosh said, to clear confusion among Hindu refugees from Bangladesh living in West Bengal, the Prime Minister will address their worries over National Registrar of Citizenship and Citizenship Amendment Bill, 2016, from his rally. Matua, Citizenship and Infiltration “Since the publication of NRC’s second draft list in Assam, Trinamool Congress is concertedly spreading misinformation among Hindu refugees from Bangladesh. “On January 4, we sent a letter to the Prime Minister’s office, requesting for a date for clearing confusion among Hindu refugees spread by groups with political interests,” said Thakur, who shares close relations with BJP leaders Kailash Vijayvargiya and Mukul Roy. “Clearing people’s confusion over NRC and Citizenship Amendment Bill tops our agenda in Bengal,” said Sachindranath Singha, Vishva Hindu Parishad ’s in-charge for Bengal, Assam, Odisha, Sikkim and Andaman.
