Senior leader of Bharatiya Janata Party Suvendu Adhikari from the Indian state of West Bengal submitted a protest note to the Bangladesh deputy high commission in Kolkata on Monday, urging action against those who chanted anti-India slogans during recent student protests, according to Indian media outlet theweek.in.

Adhikari, who is the leader of the opposition in the West Bengal assembly, visited the Bangladesh deputy high commission with a group of BJP MLAs and met with Bangladeshi officials.

'We met with officials at the Bangladesh deputy high commission and appealed to them to take action against the people who chanted anti-India slogans. During the recent protests in Bangladesh, slogans were raised against India, and insults were hurled at Indian leaders and the Hindu religion,' Adhikari was quoted as saying.​

New foreign affairs adviser told Indian envoy today that Bangladesh will expect her exact proportional share of Teesta water, and there will be no leeway on that issue.

Indian businesses (which personally fund Modi's Hindutva activities) are set to lose big - now that Hasina (who actively encouraged Hindutva exploitation in Bangladesh) is out of the picture. What some of the reports below conveniently fail to mention, though, are that Bangladeshi exports to India are paltry ($2 Billion) against Indian exports to Bangladesh ($40 Billion plus, with Bangladeshi tourism and services counted in, medical or otherwise, to India). This unequal state of trade affairs has existed for over fifty years - with India benefitting immensely (mainly Indian states surrounding Bangladesh, with WB at the forefront. India benefitted for fifty years by imposing this unequal trade on Bangladesh since 1971. They have been paid back more than ever for help in 1971 handsomely yet they keep reminding us at every opportunity about 1971.
