Citizenship controversy edit
After joining the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in June 2019, speculation rose about Ghosh's nationality. Later, the BJP claimed that she is a citizen of India and has an Indian passport.[6] West Bengal BJP chief Dilip Ghosh released her birth certificate, issued by the Kolkata Municipal Corporation in 2003.[7][8] According to the certificate, she was born as Anju Ghosh to Sudhanya Ghosh and Binapani Ghosh on 17 September 1966 in East End Nursing Home, Kolkata.[9] On the other hand, in an interview with Ekushey Television in September 2018, she mentioned about her birth in 1956 in Faridpur District in the-then East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) and her moving to Chittagong before the liberation war of Bangladesh in 1971.[3] She had added about her studies in Krishnakumari High School in Chittagong.[3]
