West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee addressed provocative comments from a Bangladesh Nationalist Party leader, who claimed that Bangladesh could occupy Bengal, Bihar, and Odisha. "You will occupy Bengal, Bihar, and Odisha, and we’ll have lollipops?" Banerjee remarked, calling the statement baseless. She urged political leaders and the media to avoid stirring tensions, stressing the need for peace and unity in Bengal. Banerjee also highlighted the shared concerns of Hindus and Muslims in Bengal regarding the atrocities in Bangladesh, emphasizing the importance of secularism and compassion in resolving such issues.
