Kolkata, Dec 22 : Senior BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari along with other party leaders and supporters on Monday staged a demonstration near the Bangladesh Deputy High Commission here to protest the killing of a Bengali Hindu in the neighbouring country.

If there is no end to attacks on Hindus, we will come back to Bangladesh deputy high commission with 10,000 people on December 26,” he threatened.
