Suvendu Adhikari on Sandeshkhali Row:

Speaking about the ongoing protests in Sandeshkhali block in West Bengal’s North 24 Parganas district, Adhikari accused the ruling All India Trinamool Congress of unleashing violence against Hindus.

“Today, Hindus in West Bengal are in danger under the TMC government. The party is changing the demography of the state by allowing Bangladeshi migrants to infiltrate and settle in the state. Slowly and gradually, the present government will make West Bengal a part of Bangladesh,” he claimed.

“The Bharatiya Janata Party is working to build a nationalist dual-engine government in West Bengal,” he added.

The former TMC leader further criticized the alleged sexual violence against women and incidents of land grabbing in Sandeshkhali block and said the students of JNU should raise their voice against the issue.

“JNU is a center of critical discussions and they (students) must raise their voice against whatever is happening in West Bengal to uproot the complicit government,” he said.

The unrest in Sandeshkhali stems from allegations of land encroachment and sexual assault against TMC leader Shahjahan Sheikh and his supporters.

Protests by angry locals continue in the area as Shahjahan has remained elusive since a mob attack on Enforcement Directorate officials on January 5.
