Rabindranath Tagore's ancestral home attacked in Bangladesh; BJP hits out at Yunus govt

BJP on Thursday condemned the interim government of Bangladesh over the alleged attack on Rabindranath Tagore's ancestral house. BJP spokesman Sambit Patra told media persons that the Bangladesh government's stance is not proper as it could have taken some action.

"We are not intruding on any international domain. But this is the topic of Rabindranath Tagore, so BJP takes it very seriously and sensitively. On Tuesday, Rabindranath Tagore's ancestral house, located in Bangladesh, was attacked and damaged... His Kacharibari, built by his grandfather, has been attacked. We are getting to know that the people of Jamaat-e-Islami and Hefazat-e-Islam carried out this attack," Patra said at a press conference.

BJP TARGETS BANERJEE TOO

Patra also attacked West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee for failing to adequately condemn the incident and criticise Bangladesh's interim regime.
