Trinamool to launch weekend protests against harassment of Bangla-speaking people in BJP-ruled states
Kolkata, July 21 (SocialNews.XYZ) West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday announced that the Trinamool Congress (TMC) will launch weekend protest programmes across the state starting July 27, in response to the alleged harassment of Bengali-speaking people in BJP-ruled states. She described this protest programme as yet another "Bhasha Andolon" (Language Movement). Historically, “Bhasha Andolan” was a political movement in what was then East Pakistan, advocating for the recognition of Bangla as an official language of the country, which ultimately led to the emergence of Bangladesh as an independent nation after erstwhile East Pakistan was liberated from Pakistan in 1971.
