Addressing a gathering at Bhabanipur in Kolkata, from where he won the prestigious polls and humbled Mamata Banerjee; West Bengal chief minister Suvendu Adhikari on May 18, 2026 (Monday) asserted:
"Pahele toh voters list mein Detect ho gaya, uskey baad Delete ho gaya, abhi toh time aa gaya hae bandhu Deport karne ka".
First they have been detected, then deleted and now friend time has come to Deport, he said in reference to illegal Bangladeshi Muslim infiltrators.
He said :"More than TMC, Congress and Left parties; my becoming chief minister has displeased Jamaits in Bangladesh more".
He also cautioned against vandalism and hurling of stones on police in Park Circus area on Friday. "Aap ko bhugot na padega (The wrongdoers will have to pay a price)," he was very categorical.
After Park Circus unrest, Bengal CM Suvendu Adhikari says vandalism in name of religion will not be tolerated
He issued what he called a “last warning” against attacks on police personnel and vandalism during protests, a day after violence erupted in Kolkata’s Park Circus-Tiljala area during demonstrations against a bulldozer drive targeting alleged illegal structures.
The unrest left six police personnel and two CRPF jawans injured, while 40 people have been arrested so far, Adhikari said, adding that the investigation was being monitored directly by the Kolkata Police commissioner.
After visiting the Park Circus Deputy Commissioner’s office and meeting injured personnel, Adhikari, who also holds the home portfolio, projected a hardline law-and-order stance and asserted that police would no longer function with “tied hands and feet”.
“I am giving a clear message that there will be zero tolerance towards this kind of unrest, hooliganism and anti-national, anti-social activities. We will not allow such things to continue,” he asserted.
“Do not think old rules still apply. If anyone believes the police force will continue to function with tied hands and feet, they are mistaken,” he said.
Referring to allegations of stone-pelting during the protests, Adhikari drew parallels with Kashmir and warned against repetition of such incidents.
“Political and religious organisations can hold programmes after informing the police. But gathering people, raising religious slogans and pelting stones cannot continue. Stone-pelting at police in Srinagar and Kashmir has stopped; I believe it will stop in West Bengal and Kolkata, too,” Adhikari asserted.
Calling the violence “planned”, he claimed social media activity indicated prior mobilisation.
“I am making an appeal – do not repeat these things. Listen carefully, this should be the first and the last such incident. We will not allow these to recur,” he said.
“Take this as the last warning. If such incidents are repeated, no one will be worse than me as the home minister,” Adhikari said.
