By A Staff Reporter

Kolkata: Leader of Opposition in West Bengal and BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari has accused the state government of obstructing central government initiatives and agencies, including the Border Security Force (BSF) and the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). Addressing the media, Adhikari detailed alleged instances of non-cooperation that he said were detrimental to national security and the Bengali community.

"I gave out the details of how non-cooperation is being done by the state government with the Centre and the MHA. Joint meetings are not being held, and there is no coordination with central government agencies," Adhikari said.

He alleged that the state police released over 2,500 intruders apprehended by the BSF. "The police released all the 1,500 intruders arrested by BSF last year and 1,000 this year," he claimed, criticizing the state’s stance on border security.

Adhikari also highlighted the state government’s refusal to allocate land for 17 BSF outposts and its perceived antagonism toward the BSF. “The resolution is being taken up in the assembly against the BSF, and the additional DGP in charge of West Bengal is directly condemning the BSF,” he alleged.

Calling for an end to political interference in matters of national interest, Adhikari said, “Politics should be stopped for the sake of the country and the Bengali community.”
