A Delhi Police letter sparked anger after it called Bengali a "Bangladeshi language." West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee shared the letter, calling it insulting and unconstitutional. The letter was linked to the arrest of eight suspected Bangladeshi nationals in Delhi. Mamata said it disrespects Bengali, which is one of India’s 22 official languages. TMC leaders, including Abhishek Banerjee and Mahua Moitra, also criticised the Centre. BJP hit back, saying Mamata is playing politics. Celebrities like Srijit Mukherji and Rupam Islam also voiced anger. Delhi Police has not yet commented. The issue has stirred debate across political and cultural lines. (PC: India Today)
