Mamata Banerjee criticises Delhi Police for calling Bengali a "Bangladeshi Language"

Kolkata, Aug 4 (UNI) West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has lashed out at the Delhi Police for referring to Bengali as a “Bangladeshi language,” calling it a grave insult to Bengali-speaking Indians while asking for the “strongest possible protests” against what she termed an “anti-Bengali Government of India.”
" We urge immediate strongest possible protests from all against the anti-Bengali Government of India who are using such anti-Constitutional language to insult and humiliate the Bengali-speaking people of India," Banerjee wrote on her X handle hours after Delhi Police sought assistance from Banga Bhavan in the national capital seeking translation of "Bangladeshi Language" following the arrest of eight suspected illegal immigrants, who, police said, spoke Bengali.
“See how Delhi Police, under the direct control of the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India, is describing Bengali as a 'Bangladeshi language'!” Banerjee added.
