RAIGANJ: West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari on Thursday issued a stern warning against cow slaughter in the state, saying “no one will be worse than me” if such incidents occur, and called for an end to illegal madrassas in border areas to prevent anti-national activities. Addressing a public event in Raiganj in Uttar Dinajpur district, which borders Bangladesh, Adhikari said no one should harm cows, which are considered sacred by Hindus.
If it happens, no one will be worse than me,” the chief minister said. “There should not be any illegal madrassas in these border areas so that no anti-national activities take place,” he said. Reiterating his government’s position on alleged infiltration, Adhikari said those found to have entered the country illegally would be sent back to Bangladesh after being placed in holding stations.
He also reiterated his government’s commitment to deporting alleged infiltrators to Bangladesh and granting citizenship to Hindu refugees under the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). “No one should raise a hand against ‘Gau Mata’. No one should harm ‘Gau Mata’. I am making this clear. The chief minister made the remarks in Uttar Dinajpur district, which shares a border with Bangladesh, while outlining his government’s approach to border security, alleged infiltration and citizenship for Hindu refugees.
