A protest broke out in Delhi today, August 26, after former Planning Commission member Syeda Saiyidain Hameed’s controversial remarks on Bangladeshi nationals staying in India resurfaced. A group of people, including members of the Hindu Sena, disrupted an event she attended, entering the venue with placards and raising slogans. The uproar came in response to Hameed’s earlier statement that "Bangladeshis can stay here (in India)," made during an interaction with journalists in Assam, where she argued that the country had enough space to accommodate people from outside. Her comments came while addressing issues of polarisation and the alleged victimisation of Bengali-speaking Muslims. Assam: CM Himanta Biswa Sarma Distributes Cheques Amounting to INR 10,000 Each to 18,370 Members of SHGs Under MMMUA.
