Guwahati (Assam) [India], November 25 : Assam Legislative Assembly Deputy Speaker Numal Momin on Monday strongly backed Defence Minister Rajnath Singh's recent remarks on Sindh, stating that it is "quite natural that the border can be changed."
Numal Momin further asserted that Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and certain areas of Bangladesh "should be taken back".
Speaking to ANI, Momin said, "Because Pakistan and Bangladesh were a part of India, it is quite natural that the border can be changed. I strongly support Defence Minister Rajnath Singh's remark, and it is now high time we change the border. We should take back the PoK and take back the part of Bangladesh where we can introduce another portion for minority people who were persecuted in the name of religion."
His remarks came a day after Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, while addressing the Sindhi Samaj Sammelan in New Delhi, recalled former Deputy Prime Minister Lal Krishna Advani's statement that borders can change and suggested that "tomorrow Sindh may return to India again."
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh had said, "This is Advani's (Lal Krishna Advani) quote. Today, the land of Sindh may not be a part of India, but civilisationally, Sindh will always be a part of India. And as far as land is concerned, borders can change. Who knows, tomorrow Sindh may return to India again."
"Our people of Sindh, who hold the Indus River sacred, will always be our own. No matter where they are, they will always be ours," he added.
Sindh region, known as the homeland of the Sindhi people, has been a significant part of India's civilisation. It was also the centre of the Indus Valley Civilisation. The region became part of Pakistan with the partition in 1947.
Additionally, BJP leader Numal Momin also slammed Congress over their opposition to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. He said that Congress MP Rahul Gandhi should've backed SIR, but he "never thought about a brighter future for our country."
"Narendra Modi took a very strong step, and the Election Commission of India is doing the right thing for the first time to identify legal voters and omit the illegal voters. Congress was habituated with the illegal voters, banking on them, and winning in the previous elections," he said.
"Congress is afraid that if SIR is implemented in the 5 assemblies, where elections will take place very soon, the result will be like Bihar... He should have supported SIR... But he never thought about a brighter future for our country... He always tried to malign India's image abroad. That's why, naturally, SIR is not in his favour," he added.
The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) is currently underway in nine states and three Union Territories. The first phase was conducted in Bihar ahead of the state assembly elections.
