Indian State Minister for Home a Bangladeshi national?

 

Live Correspondent: Rajya Sabha member and Assam Pradesh Congress Committee President Ripun Bora has urged Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to conduct an inquiry into allegations that newly appointed Union Minister Nisith Pramanik is a Bangladeshi national, report Indian newspapers.

Bora put up a tweet with a letter to the PM and said that numerous news agencies have reported Pramanik, the Minister of State for Home Affairs to be a Bangladeshi national. Pramanik is the youngest Cabinet Minister of BJP.

Bora said that as per reports, Pramanik's birthplace is Harinathpur, under Palashbari police station in Gaibandha district of Bangladesh.

He also mentioned that the new minister had moved to West Bengal for computer studies. After getting a computer degree, Pramanik joined the Trinamool Congress (TMC) first, and later joined the BJP, where he was elected as an MP from Cooch Behar.

Bora alleged that the minister showed his address in the election as Cooch Behar by manipulation.

The letter ended with Bora urging PM Modi to conduct an enquiry about the actual birthplace of Nisith Pramanik in a transparent way and to clarify the issue, as it has created a state of confusion across the country.
