Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman criticized those who defended the comment of Peter Navaro, a trade advisor of US President Donald Trump. The Finance Minister called him a friend of imperialists.

Navaro had said that Brahmins are benefiting from buying India’s Russian oil amid Ukraine War. Some people in India said that the tariff of Trump has probably borrowed from the American word Boston Brahmin, which means the old wealth aristocratic class.

‘I want Indians to think themselves’

In an interview to CNBC TV18, Nirmala Sitharaman said that the principle of exactly the same divide and rule which the British used, which the imperialists used here and today are telling us friends of imperialists. You know that this is the idiom of Boston Brahmins, not that.

The Finance Minister further said to forgive me. who’s Care? I want Indians to think themselves. The Finance Minister appealed to those who defended the language to stand in front of people like Peter Navarro. He said that I want the Indians who are now defending that language, they should get up and say that we are free from all of you for 75-80 years. We will work with our work and we will take care of ourselves. Avoid using these words.

This gesture of Nirmala Sitharaman was on the leaders who explained the word ‘Boston Brahmin’ after the comment of Peter Navaro’s “Brahmins earning profits from Russian oil in India”.

What did Sagarika Ghosh say about Navaro’s statement?

Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Sagarika Ghosh cited Navaro’s statement. Posting on X, he said that the Boston Brahmin was once widely used for the rich aristocracy of New England in America. The Brahmin is still a word used to depict the social or economic aristocracy (in this case) in the English speaking world.

Shocking & Alarming. @BJP4bengal is brazenly spreading fake news. Photos of Violence from other states, (Most from BJP Rules States) Are Being Used As Photos from Bengal. These are clear examples of Hate Monging & Conspiracy. @Kolkatapolice , @Wbpolice. pic.twitter.com/xcxwxqgdv0

Sagarika claimed, “This is a campaign of BJP’s lies, communal polarization and excitement politics.” He urged the police to take action. Sagarika said, “The violence in Murshidabad is very unfortunate. The Bengal government has made it clear that no one will be allowed to take the law into their own hands and those who commit violence will be punished severely, whether they are of any community or religious identity. However, the BJP is currently doing politics of religious polarization and provocation. ”

What did Kunal Ghosh claim?

Kunal Ghosh claimed that photographs showing violence do not have relations with Murshidabad violence, but they are of incidents in different places including Assam, Lucknow, Jalandhar and Karnataka. Kunal said, “Those political parties who cannot win democratically are involved in such conspiracies to disturb peace.” He alleged that BJP is also misusing central agencies.

This statement of the Trinamool leaders has come in response to the BJP’s allegation that the fundamentalist elements have encouraged during the Trinamool rule, due to which there are target attacks on Hindus in Murshidabad district.

What did BJP claim?

Leader of Opposition in the West Bengal Assembly Suvendu Adhikari claimed in a post, “More than 400 Hindu from Dhulian in Murshidabad forced to escape across the Hindu river and take refuge in Lalpur High School across the Devnapur-Sovapur GP of Vaishnavanagar in Malda for fear of religious fundamentalists. Religious harassment in Bengal is reality. ”

He claimed, “The politics of appeasement of the Trinamool Congress has promoted radical elements. Hindus are being hunted, our people are running to save their lives on their own land! The state government should be ashamed to let the law and order deteriorate in this way. ”The officer urged the central paramilitary forces, state police and district administration posted in Murshidabad to ensure the safe return of these displaced people.
