Delhi police's 'Bangladeshi language' label for Bengali an 'insult', says TN CM
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin on Monday said the Delhi police's alleged description of Bengali as a Bangladeshi language was a "direct insult" that exposed a dark mindset and he supported his West Bengal counterpart Mamata Banerjee on the issue. Stalin said the Delhi Police, under the Union Home Ministry, has described Bengali as a "Bangladeshi language." This is a direct insult to the very language in which our National Anthem was written, he said. In a social media post, he said: "Such statements are not inadvertent errors or slips. They expose the dark mindset of a regime that consistently undermines diversity and weaponises identity. In the face of this assault on non-Hindi languages, Hon'ble @MamataOfficial Didi stands as a shield for the language and people of West Bengal. She will not let this attack pass without a fitting response." On August 3, West Bengal Chief Minister and TMC supremo Mamta Banerjee lashed out at the Delhi Police for referring to the Bengali language as "Bangladeshi national language" in a purported letter, alleging that it was "insulting, anti-national and unconstitutional."

Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin condemns Delhi police's description of Bengali as a Bangladeshi language
Stalin said that in the face of such an assault on non-Hindi languages, Banerjee was standing as a shield for the language and the people of West Bengal. 'She will not let this attack pass without a fitting response,' he added. Banerjee, in her post, referred to a letter from Inspector of Police of Lodhi Colony station in New Delhi regarding the arrest of eight persons suspected to be Bangladeshi nationals residing illegally in India. The letter sent to Banga Bhawan, the office of the resident commission of the West Bengal government in Delhi, requesting translation, said, "The identification documents contain texts written in Bangladeshi and need to be translated to Hindi and English." Banerjee had said that describing a language spoken by crores of Indians and sanctified by the Constitution as Bangladeshi is scandalous, insulting, anti-national, and unconstitutional. 'This insults all Bengali-speaking people of India. They cannot use this kind of language which degrades and debases us all,' she said.

Plea against MNS, Raj Thackeray: SC asks petitioner to move Bombay HC
On March 30, the plea said, during a Gudi Padwa rally, Raj Thackeray delivered an inflammatory speech which incited violence against north Indians for speaking Hindi Press Trust of India New Delhi The Supreme Court on Monday asked a petitioner to move the Bombay High Court with his plea accusing Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) president Raj Thackeray of hate speech and inciting violence against the north Indian community. A bench comprising Chief Justice B R Gavai and Justice K Vinod Chandran asked Sunil Shukla, national president of the Uttar Bhartiya Vikas Sena, the reason of not moving the high court with his grievances. Is the Bombay High Court on vacation? the CJI asked, prompting Shukla's lawyer to withdraw the plea. The bench, without expressing any opinion on the merits, allowed the petitioner to withdraw the plea and move the high court. Shukla's plea alleged the Maharashtra government and the police didn't respond to his repeated requests to register criminal cases against MNS cadres who have resorted to violence, threats to life and harassment against him, in the past. His advocacy for the rights of north Indians had made him a target for threats, harassment, and physical intimidation by the MNS and its affiliated groups, the plea added. On March 30, the plea said, during a Gudi Padwa rally, Raj Thackeray delivered an inflammatory speech which incited violence against north Indians for speaking Hindi. The petition said the speech was broadcast, and led to violent attacks on Hindi-speaking employees at multiple locations in Mumbai, including Powai and D-Mart in Versova. Prior to such speech too, the petitioner received serious threats, including a chilling message on Twitter that openly incited his murder, and over 100 anonymous phone calls threatening his life. On October 6, 2024, a group of approximately 30 individuals affiliated with MNS attempted to ransack the office premises of the petitioner's political party," the petitioner said. Shukla claimed despite several written complaints to the Maharashtra chief minister, DGP and police commissioner besides the Election Commission of India, no FIR was registered.
