NAGPUR: Amid persecution of minorities in Bangladesh and rising concerns in India, the nomination of a key Hindu candidate, Gobindadeb Pramanik was rejected Saturday by the returning officer. Pramanik sought to contest as an Independent from Gopalganj-3 in the February 12 polls. Ousted PM Sheikh Hasina was the MP from this seat, which has over 50% Hindu voters.Pramanik is also general secretary of Bangladesh Jatiya Hindu Mahajote. An apolitical organisation, it is an alliance of 23 outfits and is considered a Hindutva fountainhead in the country.A provision in Bangladesh’s electoral laws, which requires an Independent candidate to submit signatures of 1% of the voters in the constituency backing the candidature, was invoked by returning officer to turn down his nomination, said Pramanik.Talking to TOI from Gopalganj, Pramanik alleged that after he had managed to secure 1% signatures, workers of Bangladesh Nationalist Party threatened those who signed in his favour with dire consequences. They were asked to turn up before returning officer and say that their signatures were not taken or were wrongly submitted. Following this, returning officer rejected the nomination on grounds of “invalid” signatures.Pramanik said he preferred to fight as an Independent because he had support. He pointed out that 51% of the around 3 lakh voters in Gopalganj are Hindus, adding BNP resorted to such tactics as it does not stand a chance. “Although the signatures of 1% of my voters were correct, the district returning officer did not accept the affidavits. The officer ruled that the signatures were not valid. I shall file an appeal before the election commission and may even move HC after that.”Another Hindu candidate, Dulal Biswas, also saw his papers turned back. Since Biswas was fielded by a registered political party, Gono Forum, the 1% voters’ affidavit rule did not apply to him. The application was stayed for want of papers, and he got a chance to submit the documents afresh, a source said.In nearby Gopalganj 2, another Independent Hindu candidate, Utpal Biswas, is in the fray. The seat was once represented by Hasina’s cousin Sheikh Salim. “I work among the farmers and the downtrodden.

NEW DELHI: A Meitei civil society organisation has written to PM Modi flagging concerns over letters sent by a Chin Kuki Zo group to foreign govts and United Nations bodies, warning that such outreach could undermine India’s sovereignty, judicial authority and national security amid the ongoing Manipur crisis. It urged Centre to review security policy, re-examine Suspension of Operations agreements and pursue a lawful, permanent resolution that protects all indigenous communities and Manipur’s territorial integrity. Copies of the memorandum were also marked to home minister Amit Shah.In a memorandum dated January 3, Meitei Heritage Society said communications issued by the Kuki Alliance for Nampi Awakening Movement (KANAM) seek to “delegitimise and internationalise” an order of NGT directing an immediate halt to construction of an allegedly illegal road in Manipur’s hill areas. The road — popularly referred to as the German Road or Tiger Road — was built without statutory approvals or mandatory environmental clearance and is “allegedly used by Chin Kuki Zo militants or armed groups for drug trafficking and weapons smuggling,” the memorandum said. ‘Three Hours Can’t Heal Manipur’: Congress Attacks PM Modi’s Visit Amid Turmoil The society argued that portraying a judicial order as “institutional violence” and “collective punishment,” and projecting it as grounds for foreign intervention, challenges India’s constitutional framework. “Such actions risk setting a dangerous precedent whereby internal judicial processes are selectively escalated to foreign govts and multilateral bodies,” it stated.The Meitei Heritage Society urged the PM to take note of the foreign communications, direct the ministry of home affairs to undertake a comprehensive policy and security review, re-examine SoO agreements with Chin Kuki Zo militant groups, and pursue a “permanent, just and lawful solution to the Manipur crisis that protects all indigenous communities and preserves Manipur and India’s territorial integrity.”Placing the issue in context, the memorandum said the Manipur crisis, which erupted into large-scale violence on May 3, 2023, has increasingly been framed through competing international narratives. It alleged that Chin Kuki Zo organisations and individuals have previously approached the UN, the US and other foreign actors with what it described as “fabricated, one-sided narratives,” while “masquerading as tribal bodies by using misleading tribal names.”The memorandum said such groups have received financial and logistical support, training and backing from foreign Christian organisations and former US military personnel, raising questions over compliance with FCRA norms and calling for scrutiny by India’s security agencies. These actions, it alleged, contributed to radicalisation and militarisation, exacerbating crisis.About the AuthorManash Pratim GohainManash Pratim Gohain is a seasoned journalist with over two decades at The Times of India, where he has built a rich body of work spanning education policy, politics, and governance.
