Bong Sena held a march from the busy Sealdah area of Kolkata, West Bengal, calling for the division of Bangladesh and the creation of a proposed “Bongobhumi.” Marchers chanted slogans demanding that Bangladesh be divided and describing the Padma, Meghna and Jamuna region as their address. Women also joined the procession, carrying posters and banners, while bystanders watched from both sides of the road.
The organisation’s materials named Partha Samanta as president of the proposed Bongobhumi movement, Narayan Das as commander and Subhash Majumdar as chief spokesperson. Majumdar said Samanta was in hiding and did not want to appear publicly. Majumdar alleged persecution of Hindus in Bangladesh and demanded six former districts—Faridpur, Jessore, Khulna, Patuakhali, Kushtia and Barisal—for an initial Bongobhumi.
Majumdar later said the group sought 21 districts and intended to include Rangpur, claiming one-third of Bangladesh’s land. He said the organisation had written to the United Nations. Narayan Das said Bong Sena’s headquarters was in Assam’s Karbi Anglong district and claimed presence in Tripura, Uttar Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. Both leaders said they had contacts with some Hindu organisations in Bangladesh.
