What is happening in Bangladesh can happen in India: Salman Khurshid
Addressing the event, Rashtriya Janata Dal MP Manoj Jha spoke about the Shaheen Bagh agitation against the Citizenship Amendment Act and the National Register of Citizens
Salman Khurshid also said that another agitation Like That Of Shaheen Bagh Cannot Take Place In The country today
Congress leader Salman Khurshid on Tuesday said what is happening in Bangladesh can happen in the country though "everything may look normal on the surface".
The former Union minister was speaking at the launch of academician Mujibur Rehman's book Shikwa-e-Hind: The Political Future of Indian Muslims.
"Everything may look normal in Kashmir. Everything may look normal here. We may be celebrating the victory, although of course some people believe that victory or that success of 2024 was perhaps only marginal, perhaps a lot more needs to be done," he said.
"The fact remains that under the surface there is something," he said.
"What's happening in Bangladesh can happen here... the spread in our country prevents things blowing up in the manner in which they've blown up in Bangladesh," he said.
Addressing the event, Rashtriya Janata Dal MP Manoj Jha spoke about the Shaheen Bagh agitation against the Citizenship Amendment Act and the National Register of Citizens and said it has not been given due credit.
The protest against the new citizenship law spearheaded by women in Southeast Delhi's Shaheen Bagh continued for nearly 100 days and had inspired similar demonstrations across the country.
