The phase of statements and political turmoil continues in the politics of Jharkhand. State government minister and firebrand leader of Congress Irfan Ansari has come at the center of a big storm in the political circles due to his latest and extremely controversial statement. Minister Irfan Ansari said something like this in a warning manner while mentioning Nepal and Bangladesh during a public program, after which the main opposition party Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has got another big opportunity to corner the Congress and Hemant government. BJP has made a strong attack on the Congress party by terming this statement as directly against the country’s sovereignty, national security and regional stability. After this statement, the political temperature of Jharkhand has once again reached the seventh sky.
Jharkhand Minister Irfan Ansari, who has a long association with controversies, and the tone in which he gave warnings during his speech citing the political turmoil in Nepal and Bangladesh, has surprised even political analysts. BJP leaders allege that Congress party leaders are continuously trying to create unnecessary tension within the country by making such inflammatory and irresponsible statements. State officials of the Bharatiya Janata Party took an aggressive stance and said that the use of such language by responsible ministers holding constitutional posts not only shows their petty mentality, but also amounts to openly challenging the rule of law. BJP has demanded that the Chief Minister should immediately dismiss such ministers from the cabinet.
Political experts believe that Irfan Ansari’s repeated use of neighboring countries like Nepal and Bangladesh in such contexts is also against India’s diplomatic norms. The Government of India has always been in favor of maintaining peaceful, balanced and cordial relations with its neighboring countries. In such a situation, making such statements by a state minister gives a wrong message even at the international level. Opposition parties say that dragging regional sentiments or situations of foreign countries into domestic politics to gain elections or political gains is a very dangerous practice. After this statement, the Congress Party is facing sharp criticism from social media to mainstream media.
In view of the upcoming political equations and elections in Jharkhand, such statements are becoming electoral weapons for both the parties. On one hand, BJP is trying to prove Congress and JMM alliance as ‘anti-national’ and ‘insensitive’ by making this one statement an issue, while on the other hand, Congress party is trying to do damage control in this entire matter. However, the statements of Minister Irfan Ansari have once again proved that the war of words is not stopping in the political arena of Jharkhand and this issue is going to gain more prominence in the coming days.
