Expressing concern over referring to Bengali as a "Bangladeshi language" allegedly by Delhi Police, the founder of Tipra Motha Party, Pradyot Kishore Manikya Debbarma, on Monday opposed the imposition of any language on any community and said that as Indians, everyone must uphold respect for all our languages.

On Facebook, Pradyot, who is also a royal scion, said that referring to Bengali as a "Bangladeshi language" by Delhi Police is deeply concerning. 

Pradyot and his party have been raising their voice against illegal immigrants entering Tripura and other North Eastern regions.

"Today it is Bengali, tomorrow it can be any other language. There is no such thing called Bangladeshi language! How can we forget that even our national anthem 'Jana Gana Mana' was originally composed in Bengali by Tagore?" wrote Pradyot.

He said these actions by Delhi Police give space to extremist views and give people like Md Yunus a chance to tarnish our country’s image.

"Yes, I remain firmly opposed to the imposition of any language on any community. But as Indians, we must uphold respect for all our languages — be it Kokborok, Bengali, Tamil, Assamese, Mizo, Bodo, Hindi, or even English," he added.
