West Bengal's Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari has issued a stern warning to the Bangladesh Deputy High Commission in Kolkata, stating that he will not allow it to function smoothly if a meeting with the envoy is denied. Adhikari expressed concern over the attacks on minorities, particularly Hindus, in Bangladesh and sought a meeting with the envoy to discuss the issue. The Leader of Opposition's warning comes after a clash broke out between protesters and police during a march to the Bangladesh Deputy High Commission in Park Circus. Adhikari had led the march, which was named 'Hindu Hunkar Padayatra', and alleged that police used excessive force to stop the protesters. Adhikari claimed that several protesters were injured in the police action, including an injured woman who was rushed to the emergency room. He also alleged that the police lathi-charged and detained 'defenseless' protesters. The tension between India and Bangladesh has been escalating over the past few days, with both countries trading barbs over various issues. The Bangladesh government has been accused of failing to protect its minority Hindu community, with several cases of violence and intimidation reported. Adhikari's ultimatum to the Bangladesh Deputy High Commission has raised concerns about the potential impact on India-Bangladesh relations. The situation is being closely watched by both countries, with diplomats and officials from both sides engaging in intense negotiations to resolve the issue. The clash between protesters and police in Kolkata has also sparked a debate about the role of the police in maintaining law and order. Adhikari has accused the police of using excessive force, while the police have maintained that they were left with no choice but to use force to stop the protesters from breaching the barricades. As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the Indian government will respond to Adhikari's ultimatum and the escalating tensions with Bangladesh.
