Bhushan alleged harassment of people by the states only because they were Bengali speaking and possessed documents in the language on the basis of a circular issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs .

Of course, Yamage is the hand of people with distorted mentality who reject the Constitution, do not believe in the values of equality, secularism and believe that the country has specific religions. Their bullying continues in local politics. Such a resolution is sought only because of the lack of power to get it after being attacked, and the cost of taking it is an extraordinary experience.
