Rajya Sabha member and Assam Pradesh Congress Committee President Ripun Bora has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to conduct a probe into allegations that newly appointed Union Minister Nisith Pramanik is a Bangladeshi national
“I urge upon you to conduct an inquiry about the actual birthplace and nationality of Nisith Pramanik in a most transparent way and clarify the whole issue as it creates confusion across the country,” Bora said in his letter to the PM.
On the other hand, BJP has denied all allegations and claimed that Pramanik was born, brought up and educated in India. While the TMC has also joined the demand for an inquiry into Pramanik’s nationality, BJP has advised the TMC to move the court on the issue.
