New Delhi: The time has come to “reclaim” Noakhali, Chittagong port and Sylhet of Bangladesh, said BJP MP Nishikant Dubey on Friday (November 6, 2026). He said Noakhali, Chittagong port and Sylhet were given away by India during 1946-47 disregarding the opinion of the ruler of the kingdom of Tripura. Mr.
Dubey blamed Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru saying Nehru wanted the support of the Muslim League in the interim government of 1946 when the decision was taken to leave these three regions for East Pakistan. “... My view is that the time has come not just to reclaim Pakistan-occupied Kashmir from Pakistan.
It is also time to reclaim the territories that Nehru ji forcibly handed over, whether it is Noakhali, Chittagong Port or Sylhet,” said Mr. Dubey in remarks to news agency ANI.
