‘This is not Gujarat but Bangladesh’: Islamist warns PM Modi, had earlier threatened India to handover Sheikh Hasina

A Bangladeshi Islamist identified as Sarjis Alam, who rose to prominence during the ‘student protests’ and the undemocratic ouster of Sheikh Hasina, has issued veiled threats to PM Modi on Vijay Diwas.

During his speech on Monday (16th December), Alam was heard saying, “I want to let Mr Modi know that is not Gujarat. This is Bangladesh.” He was jeered on by his radical supporters.

“Aggressive communalism does not thrive here… You cannot come to power here by spreading rumours and killing people,” he claimed.

Ironically, Muslim mobs have been running rampage in Bangladesh since 5th August and have targeted Hindus, their temples and businesses.

According to media reports, the Islamist had additionally threatened to ‘gouge the eyes out’ of anyone who raises his eyebrows at Bangladesh.

Earlier, Sarjis Alam had repeatedly threatened India and demanded the handover of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Owing to his anti-Indian rhetoric, the Islamist was made the chief organiser of the Jatiyo Nagorik Committee.
