Suvendu Adhikari Warns Bangladesh Over India's Supply Halt Amid Yunus Controversy

"Recently, we have blocked the movement of goods vehicles at the Benapole-Petrapole Border in North 24 Parganas district for just a day. If we block the supply for just seven days, the Bangladeshi citizens will teach Muhammad Yunus a lesson," Adhikari said at a gathering in protest against the attacks and atrocities on minority Hindus in neighbouring Bangladesh and the arrest of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) monks by Bangladesh police.

West Bengal Leader of the Opposition (LoP) Suvendu Adhikari on Thursday said that the citizen will teach the Chief Advisor of the interim Bangladesh government Muhammad Yunus a lesson if the supply of essential items from India to the neighboring country is stopped for just seven days.
