'Just Sending Two Rafale Jets Will do the Job,': West Bengal BJP's Suvendu Adhikari Warns Bangladesh

New Delhi: West Bengal Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari on Tuesday (December 10) threatened to send Rafale jets to neighbouring Bangladesh asserting that “just sending two planes will do the job.”

“There are 40 Rafale aircraft stationed at Hasimara. Just sending two planes will do the job,” said Adhikari while leading a protest by the BJP and Hindu outfits in West Bengal’s Basirhat against the alleged persecution of minorities in Bangladesh, reported The Indian Express.

“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,” BJP MLA Adhikari added.

Adhikari also said that ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will return to Bangladesh. He said that while Hasina is the legitimate Prime Minister of the country, the present administration led by Muhammad Yunus is “illegal.”

“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…,” said Adhikari.
