Dhaka University Professor Emeritus Serajul Islam Choudhury
today criticised Bangladesh government’s stance regarding India’s NRC
(National Register of Citizens) and Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).
“The terming by our government of NRC and CAA India’s internal issues, is objectionable,” the professor said adding that these are global issues.
“If the neighbour’s house catches fire, ours will too at some point,” he said during a programme at the Dhaka Reporters’ Unity.
Claiming that India is facing severe economic crisis, the professor said that the country created the issue deliberately in order to divert local and global attention from the economic crisis.
There has been a rise of fascism around the world and the worst people in the society are becoming rulers, he said adding, “only criticising the situation won’t do, we have to strengthen protests against fascism and capitalism.”
Bangladesh already has 12 lakh Rohingyas; moreover, in Assam 19 lakh
have been rejected by NRC he mentions adding that Bangladesh will not be
able to take responsibility of so many people, said Gonoshasthaya
Kendra founder Dr Zafrullah Chowdhury, who also talked at the programme
titled “Effect of NRC and CAA on South Asia and Bangladesh in Global
Context”.
