New Delhi: Union Minister of Minority Affairs Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi on Thursday said that the Congress has formed a new ‘secular syndicate’ with the All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) in Assam, the Indian Secular Front (ISF) in West Bengal and the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) in Kerala.
Addressing various public meetings and road shows at Piravam, Ettumanoor and Vaikom in Kerala in favour of NDA candidates for Assembly elections, Naqvi said that for the BJP, secularism is a constitutional mission and for pseudo secularists it’s a way to grab vote.
March 26 marks 50 years since the start of Bangladesh’s liberation war, a bloody nine-month campaign that culminated in the nation’s independence on Dec. 16, 1971.
It was a violent birth, with some of its roots in the 1947 partition of India – when Pakistan was created as a separate nation.
Newly independent Pakistan comprised two separate geographical areas separated by over a thousand miles of Indian terrain. While both regions included significant Muslim populations, West Pakistan was made up largely of Punjabi, Pashtuns, Sindhis, Baloch and other smaller ethnic groups. In contrast, the population of East Pakistan, which became modern-day Bangladesh, was predominantly ethnically Bengali, as the territory was formerly part of the Indian region of Bengal.
