West Bengal opposition leader Suvendu Adhikari stirred controversy by declaring that "Joy Bangla" is not an Indian slogan but a Bangladeshi one, and should not be used in India. The incident unfolded when a Trinamool Congress worker chanted “Joy Bangla” near Adhikari’s convoy, prompting a heated exchange. Adhikari responded with "Jai Shri Ram" and labeled the worker a “Rohingya,” sparking a sharp retort. He further stated, “Say ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’ if you're Indian. If you're Hindu, say ‘Jai Shri Ram.’ Muslims don’t need to say it.” He also accused CM Mamata Banerjee of being anti-Hindu.
