Bangladesh Unrest: Mamata Banerjee Offers Shelter To ‘Helpless’ People

Kolkata: Violent protests in Bangladesh over allocation of government jobs have left more than 110 people dead and hundreds of others injured.

Extending a helping hand, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said on Sunday the Trinamool Congress-helmed state government is ready to provide shelter to people from Bangladesh if they seek help.

“I cannot speak anything about (the situation in) Bangladesh as it is a different country. The Indian government will speak about that. But if helpless people (from Bangladesh) knock on Bengal’s door, we will give them shelter. There is a resolution of the United Nations whereby neighbours will respect refugees,” Mamata said while addressing a mega Martyrs’ Day rally of the Trinamool Congress (TMC) amid heavy rain in Kolkata.

“I assure all cooperation to relatives of Bengal residents who are stuck in violence-hit Bangladesh,” the TMC supremo announced.

The Bangladesh Prime Minister’s office announced a nationwide curfew a day after hundreds of inmates were released following an attack on the Narsingdi prison.
