3 min read

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee immediately introduced that she can be celebrating a “Khela Hobe Diwas” on August 16 this 12 months, to launch her marketing campaign to take away BJP from energy in varied states. However, the number of the date has raised eyebrows, as it’s precisely the identical day when Pakistan’s founder Mohammad Ali Jinnah of the Muslim League had launched the horrific “Direct Action Day” towards Hindus in 1946.
According to the stories, Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday mentioned that Trinamool Congress would commemorate its latest victory within the West Bengal elections because the “Khela Hobe Diwas” on August 16 this 12 months. The TMC chief mentioned that the “Khela Hobe” slogan would now be used on the nationwide stage and declared that “Khela” will now occur in all states till the BJP is faraway from the nation.
“‘Khela’ will happen in all states until BJP is removed from the country. We’ll celebrate ‘Khela Diwas’ on August 16. We’ll give footballs to poor children,” Trinamool Congress chief mentioned.
Addressing her supporters throughout the July 21 Martyrs’ Day rally, the Trinamool Congress Chief made controversial remarks relating to celebrating her social gathering’s victory on the day when 1000’s of Hindus have been butchered by Islamists of the Muslims Leagues on the streets of Kolkata.
“The BJP took India to darkness, it will be ‘Khela Hobe’ till it’s ousted from Centre,” she mentioned in her speech that was telecast in varied languages in several states, together with Tamil Nadu, Delhi, Punjab, Tripura, Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh.
“Khela Hobe” – a slogan coined by Trinamool Congress management within the run-up to the Bengal elections earlier this 12 months. However, impressed by the drivel, the Trinamool Congress cadres launched a collection of assaults on opposition social gathering employees, particularly the BJP cadres, resulting in a number of deaths within the state.
However, selecting the identical day as Direct Action Day to have fun the “Khela Hobe Diwas” has now reminded the individuals of the nice Calcutta Killings of 1946.
The ‘Direct Action Day’ – the day when Hindus have been butchered on the streets of Calcutta
In pursuance of its demand for Pakistan, Muslim League founder Mohammad Ali Jinnah had introduced that they might be observing “Direct Action Day” on the sixteenth August 1946 all through India. Bengal, the one province in India below Muslim League rule at the moment, was apparently chosen by the Muslim League management as the acceptable place to unleash terror on Hindus within the identify of “Direct Action”.
On the sixteenth of August, 1946, Mohammad Ali Jinnah gave a name to fellow Muslims throughout India for a “Direct Action Day” on the streets of Kolkata (then Calcutta) and grandly proclaimed that they shall have “either a divided India or a destroyed India”. The terror that adopted was nothing India had seen earlier than.
Thousands of sword-wielding Muslims went on a killing spree, and almost 10,000 individuals have been killed and as much as 15,000 wounded in a span of three days. The Direct Action Day, which resulted within the Great Calcutta Killings, is taken into account some of the brutal violence unleashed by Islamists on Hindus within the final century.
However, it’s stunning to know that Mamata Banerjee, who’s receiving criticism for focusing on her political opponents, has chosen the identical day to ship a message to the BJP. The announcement of “Khela Hobe Diwas” on August 16 has already instilled a panic among the many Hindus of West Bengal, who’re but to get better from the post-poll violence horrors within the state.
