Mamata Banerjee on Monday expressed hope that the Indian foreign secretary's Bangladesh visit would be successful. «We expect the Indian diplomacy talks to be successful and expect peace to return,» she said. Speaking in the assembly, Banerjee gave a stern message to Bangladeshi politicians, especially after Bangladesh Nationalist Party leaders said at a public meeting in Dhaka that their country has legitimate claims over Bengal, Bihar and Odisha. «Those who are saying this do not have strength. We are conscientious citizens who are enduring the test of patience. When you capture us, do you think we will eat lollipops?» she said. She also urged people to remain calm and not get provoked by statements made in Bangladesh and slammed the Bangladeshi leaders for making provocative statements.

Vikram Misri on Monday delivered a categorical message to the interim regime in Dhaka that forward movement in partnership is conditional on Dhaka's constructive approach in safeguarding minority rights and security interests besides protection of cultural, diplomatic and religious properties. «We also had the opportunity to discuss certain recent developments and issues, and I conveyed our concerns, including those related to the safety and welfare of minorities. We also discussed some regrettable incidents of attacks on cultural, religious, and diplomatic properties. A constructive approach on all these issues by the Bangladesh authorities, and we look forward to moving the relationship forward in a positive, forward-looking and constructive direction,» Misri said in his press statement following his meetings in Dhaka, including with the chief adviser. High-level sources told ET that New Delhi is peeved with Dhaka's lackadaisical approach in safeguarding India's interests and the foreign secretary delivered message in unambiguous terms.

Speaking exclusively to PTI during his recent visit to the city to participate in a curtain-raiser event of the 16th edition of the Apeejay Kolkata Literary Festival, where his latest title 'Chhaunk: On Food, Economics and Society' was launched, Banerjee said he felt India's «explicit political preference for Hindu migrants from Bangladesh» is what prompted the population to leave their homeland in the past, rather than the attacks on the community. «People always leave for another country where they have their families or to a richer nation where the economic opportunities are higher,» the Nobel laureate said, «I am not surprised that Hindu Bengalis have left Bangladesh and settled in, say, large pockets of Assam because of India's overt preference for Hindus instead of Muslims.»

Mamata Banerjee on Monday strongly reacted to provocative statements by a section of Bangladeshi politicians that Bangladesh could occupy Bengal within days, calling them «absurd» and dismissing it by saying, «you will occupy Bengal, Bihar, and Odisha, and we will have lollipops?» While addressing the West Bengal Assembly, Banerjee, without naming anyone, condemned the circulation of certain fake videos on this side of the border and blamed a certain political party for attempting to stoke tensions in the state. The chief minister condemned the persecution of minorities in Bangladesh, calling it unacceptable, and stressed the need for unity among India's religious communities. Banerjee strongly rejected provocative statements from across the border, including a Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) leader who said that Bangladesh has claims over Bengal, Bihar, and Odisha, and a viral video featuring Bangladesh Army veterans suggesting the country could occupy West Bengal within days, remarking, «You will occupy Bengal, Bihar, and Odisha, and we will have lollipops? Don't even think that.»

Textile industry insiders in Surat said they are getting enquiries for the production and supply of ready-to-wear garments from such brands. If these materialise into orders, they estimate the growth of Surat's garment sector could accelerate to 20-25%, from the current 12% a year. Textile hubs in Tamil Nadu, Punjab and Noida too could benefit from new orders, they said. While Bangladesh is the second-largest exporter of ready-made garments behind China, it is highly dependent on the fabric supplied from Surat, the textile city of India. As big brands are looking for alternative sources amid increasing political instability and law and order issues, as well as unrest among textile industry workers, in Bangladesh, Indian companies see it as an opportunity to supply more value-added products to global markets.
