Assam CM Sarma's 'bad' comment about BD

Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has made a controversial statement about "integrating Bangladesh" at a time when the neighbouring country's Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is on a diplomatic visit to India, reports NDTV.
Mr Sarma was responding to the media's questions on the Congress party's 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' as part of which Rahul Gandhi and others will travel across 3,500 kilometres from Kashmir to Kanyakumari.
The march is being seen as a desperate attempt by the Congress, hit by several high-profile exits, to rally support ahead of the 2024 general election.
"India is united. From Kashmir to Kanyakumari, Silchar to Saurashtra, we are one. Congress partitioned the country into India and Pakistan. Then Bangladesh was created," said Mr Sarma, a former Congress leader who joined the BJP in 2015, in a video tweeted by news agency ANI.
"If Rahul Gandhi feels apologetic that my maternal grandfather [Jawaharlal Nehru] made mistakes, if he regrets it, then no point of 'Bharat Jodo' in Indian territory. Try to integrate Pakistan, Bangladesh and strive to create Akhand Bharat [undivided India]," he added.
