Bengal’s Trinamool Congress Government minister Firhad Hakim’s terror inducing statement towards Hindus
Kolkata – “In Bengal, we (Muslims) constitute 33% of the population, and 17% across the country. We may be a numerical minority today, but with Allah’s blessings, one day we can become the majority. If Allah wills, we can achieve this. At that time, we will not need to light candles to demand justice. We will be in a position where our voices will naturally be heard, and our calls for justice will be acknowledged,” said Firhad Hakim, a minister in the Trinamool Congress Government in Bengal, during an event. The BJP has criticised Hakim’s statement.
Hakim further stated, “The number of Muslim judges in the judiciary should increase. This gap can be addressed through empowerment and hard work. We believe that members of the minority community work alongside others for the progress of the nation.”

Such statements could lead to a Bangladesh-like situation in India – Union Minister Sukanta Majumdar
Union Minister and Bengal BJP President Sukanta Majumdar accused Hakim of openly inciting religious hatred and pushing a dangerous agenda. He remarked, “This is not just hate-speech. Such statements can create a Bangladesh-like situation in India. Why is the INDI Alliance silent on this ? I challenge them to express their opinion. Our nation will not tolerate threats to its unity and integrity.”

The situation is extremely concerning – BJP Leader Amit Malviya
Amit Malviya, head of BJP’s IT cell, criticised Hakim’s remarks, saying, “Firhad Hakim has claimed that Bengal will soon have a Muslim majority. He envisions a future where Muslims no longer rely on peaceful protests or demonstrations but instead take the law into their own hands. He appears to be alluding to Sharia law. This situation is highly alarming.”
Kolkata’s Mayor, Firhad Hakim, previously revealed his true intentions by describing non-Muslims as “unfortunate” and endorsing Dawat-e-Islam’s efforts to convert Hindus to Islam. He has now claimed that West Bengal, along with the rest of India, will soon have a Muslim majority.… pic.twitter.com/fjneA8ECIX

Malviya also pointed out that large parts of Kolkata, especially slum areas dominated by illegal immigrants, including Rohingyas, are under their influence. Hakim’s statement, he argued, hints at a potential increase in illegal migration, which could lead to demographic shifts.
