Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], August 5: Amid the ongoing crisis in Bangladesh after the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose assured that the Bangladesh-West Bengal borders are secure and there’s no need for panic. The governor stated that the nation will take effective measures to stop unauthorized entry to India from Bangladesh.
Governor Bose said, “Our Borders are secure. There is no need for panic. Beware of rumour mongers.” He also urged the entire Bengal to stand united behind the government of India, which is taking strong and effective steps to protect the borders. The Raj Bhavan has established a high-power watchdog committee that can be contacted for any clarification against disinformation 24×7. “Strict action will be taken against those who spread rumours and misleading information. The Nation will take effective measures to pluck unauthorized entry into the soil of India,” he added.
Earlier in the day, the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) met at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s residence at Lok Kalyan Marg. In the meeting, PM Modi was briefed about the situation in Bangladesh. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Home Minister Amit Shah, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman were present, along with senior officials.
Sheikh Hasina, who arrived in India on Monday evening after resigning amid mounting protests, held discussions with National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval at the Hindon Air Base in Ghaziabad about the present situation in Bangladesh and her future course of action. Sources indicated that the Indian Air Force has put its personnel on alert in every eastern sector due to the current developments. Doval and senior military officials met Sheikh Hasina at the Hindon Airbase, and she is being moved to a safe location with security provided by the Indian Air Force and other agencies.
The protests in Bangladesh, primarily by students demanding an end to a quota system for government jobs, escalated into anti-government protests.
