West Bengal BJP leader and Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari on Sunday alleged that he faced repeated attacks from “illegal Bangladeshi Muslims" while visiting South 24 Parganas district for a religious visit.
In a lengthy post on social media platform X, the BJP senior leader accused the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) of orchestrating obstruction and violence against him.
Adhikari said that several attempts were made to stop his car at seven different locations. He claimed the attack happened right in front of Lalpur Madrasa. According to him, the chaos was organised by TMC Zila Parishad member Rekha Gazi, with the support of SP Koteswara Rao.
“In South 24 Parganas district, today I faced repeated attacks from illegal Bangladeshi Muslims. The obstruction, vandalism and chaos was orchestrated by none other than TMC Zila Parishad Member Rekha Gazi with the aid and support of SP Koteswara Rao. Several attempts were made to stop my car, at least at seven locations, and an attack took place right in front of Lalpur Madrasa," Adhikari wrote.
“I wasn’t going to participate in any political event, but was rather going join the Kali Puja and Diwali festivities as a Hindu," he added.
He blamed illegal infiltrators in the area, saying they were anxious about the ongoing SIR (Special Intensive Registration) process, which he claimed would affect them. “This region is adjacent to Bangladesh & the close proximity has allowed them to settle down here with the help of the infiltrator friendly TMC Eco system," he noted.
Adhikari questioned the freedom of Hindus to participate in religious events in West Bengal without fear. “Can’t a Hindu participate in any religious event in the State of West Bengal freely, without facing obstructions from the radicals? They can’t intimidate me, I will be back during Jagadhatri Puja as well."
