Indian ruling party BJP MP Nishikant Dubey has commented that not only Pakistan-controlled Kashmir, but also Noakhali, Sylhet and Chattogram port in Bangladesh should be 'recovered'. He claimed that these regions went to Pakistan due to the policies of India's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru during the partition.
In an interview with Indian news agency ANI, the Lok Sabha member from Godda seat in Jharkhand claimed that Noakhali, Sylhet and Chattogram port were once part of Tripura state. He accused that Nehru made decisions regarding these regions ignoring the objections of the then king Bir Bikram Singh during the partition.
Pradyot Bikram Manikya Debbarma, descendant of the Tripura royal family and founder of the Tipra Motha party, supported such statements by the BJP leader. In a post on social media X, he claimed that a huge part of Tripura was given to Pakistan during the partition, which was a historical mistake.
