Pratik-ur Rahman, who recently joined the Trinamool Congress after leaving the CPI(M), launched a sharp attack on the BJP and the Election Commission while addressing a protest gathering at Dharmatala. Speaking from the dharna stage, the youth leader questioned demands for documentation and asserted that minorities in India are citizens by choice, not by chance.
Referring to the time of India’s Partition, Rahman said that when Pakistan’s founder Muhammad Ali Jinnah called upon Muslims to move to Pakistan, many families chose to remain in India. “Our fathers and grandfathers looked him in the eye and said we kick your Pakistan aside. This country is ours, this land is ours,” he said, adding that minorities chose India as their homeland.
Rahman also spoke about India’s cultural diversity, highlighting how people from different linguistic and regional backgrounds coexist in the country. He accused the BJP, the RSS, and the Election Commission of attempting to disrupt this tradition. “This is our India. They want to break this tradition, but we will not show our documents,” he declared during his address.
