Even though Hashem Khan’s knowledge about corruptions under Manik regime or ground reality of peoples poor condition across the state is unknown but wily Manik Sarkar used Bangladeshi Artist to propagate Manik’s so called ‘Golden Era’, not only that Chief Minister shamelessly criticized BJP led Central Govt in front of Bangladeshi guests, which is against protocol of badmouthing own country’s Central Govt in front of foreigners.Hashem Khan mentioned about Bengali sentiments of 21st February, International Mother Language Day etc, but, Manik Sarkar due to his narrow-mindedness did not hesitate to criticize Modi Govt in front of foreign guests in a non-political programme like Book Fair.

However, Hashem Khan delivered his speech in general and stressed the history of Indo-Bangla relations.

CM further claimed that India although is called a democratic country, but democracy is getting wiped off from the country. Country based on socialism can not be neutral and thus India is suffering from various crisis as the present govt. is engaged to harm the religious rights of people. “They not only destroying the people’s right, but also creating obstacles for those, who wants to be neutral”.

It’s to be mentioned here that CM went back to the history of Britishers, in the presence of Bnagladeshi artist and expressed his sadness for county’s partition.
