The BJP along with various Hindu organisations on Tuesday staged demonstrations at Ghojadanga, bordering Bangladesh, in Basirhat in North 24 Parganas district, over the alleged persecution of religious minorities in the neighbouring country.
Leader of Opposition in Assembly, Suvendu Adhikari, who led the protest, hit out at Bangladesh, calling the situation there deteriorating. “We don’t depend on Bangladesh. Bangladesh depends on us… If we do not send 97 products, you will not get rice and clothes. If we do not send the electricity produced from Jharkhand, 80% of the villages will not be lit,” the BJP MLA said.

“Please stop atrocities, stop vandalising our temples. On the 16th (of December) we will hold a big meeting. (Mohd) Yunus’ government is not a government, they are extremists. They are radical, they are anti-human. They are just like the Taliban. Yunus’ government has removed the valid government of Sheikh Hasina…,” he said.
Adhikari vouched that Sheikh Hasina will return as the Prime Minister of Bangladesh.
“Sheikh Hasina is the legitimate Prime Minister. They (Yunus) are illegal. Sheikh Hasina as Prime Minister will land in Dhaka Airport. They have to receive her with a salute,” he said.
