BJP MP Nishikant Dubey Calls to Reclaim Chittagong, Sylhet, Noakhali Regions
BJP MP Nishikant Dubey has called for reclaiming Chittagong, Sylhet, and Noakhali—territories now in Bangladesh—arguing they were part of the former Tipra Kingdom and were wrongly handed over during Partition. He criticized Jawaharlal Nehru's role in these decisions, including the Sylhet referendum, and linked the loss of Chittagong Port to Northeast India's development challenges. Dubey suggested India's territorial claims should extend beyond Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Tipra Motha Party founder Pradyot Deb Barma supported Dubey, calling the Partition decisions a strategic error affecting the Northeast.
