Sudip Bandyopadhyay’s Zero Hour mention on the need for the government to appeal to the UnitedNations for sending peacekeeping forces to Bangladesh
Sir, I want to raise a very important issue. In our neighbouring country Bangladesh, the minorities and the Hindus are being tortured and killed. Bangladesh is our neighbouring country bordering with our State of West Bengal also. We are making appeal that let the Government of India appeal to the United Nations for sending Peacekeeping Forces to Bangladesh immediately. The Government of India is totally silent now, for the reason best known to them. Our appeal is that let the Minister of External Affairs come to the Parliament and intimate us of the latest position of Bangladesh and what is happening over there. Our Chief Minister yesterday adopted a Resolution in West Bengal Assembly that whatever decision Government of India will take, The West Bengal Government will stand by the decision. We want to work together but the people of Bangladesh ought to be saved. Our experiences in the past say many refugees and evacuees used to come to our State crossing Bangladesh border.

Our Chief Minister, Ms. Mamata Banerjee has very categorically said that the Government should come forward and reply to it. … (Interruptions) I would request you to direct the Government to intimate the House about the latest position regarding Bangladesh. With this, I conclude.
