Nagaland Minister Temjen Imna Along has given a strong warning to the fundamentalist leaders of Bangladesh who are talking about cutting India’s strategically important Chicken Neck (Siliguri Corridor). He said that the people of the tribal community of the North-East are experts in the art of throat cutting. This warning has come at a time when some radical elements in Bangladesh are heating up politics over this sensitive corridor connecting the North-East of India with the country.
Giving an open challenge to the fundamentalist elements of Bangladesh, Temjen mentioned the Mahabharata characters Ghatotkacha and Hidimba. According to Mahabharata, Ghatotkacha and Hidimba belonged to the North-East. Hidimba, who was the wife of Bhima and mother of Ghatotkacha, belonged to the Dimasa tribe of Assam and Nagaland.
We have a strong link with India, we are Indians – Temjen
Giving a frank statement, Temgen Imna Along said that any attempt to weaken the territorial integrity of India will prove to be a big mistake. They have not seen our strength. Whatever the people of Bangladesh are saying, we do not condemn it so much, let them come and see in the North-East, we know what their intention is. If those people think that there is no chicken neck or no neck, then they are wrong. We are connected to India by a strong link. We are Indians.
Nagaland minister’s stern warning
He said, ‘We do not want to say that all Bangladeshis are wrong, some crazy people talk like this. If they have not seen Ghatotkacha and Hidimba, they are welcome. We will show them what we are capable of. They should forget that it was not India that liberated them and if they have forgotten so soon, then many things can happen. As far as slitting the throat is concerned, he doesn’t know any better than us.
