Bangladesh’s evil eye on ‘Chicken Neck’! Himanta Biswa Sarma warned
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has launched a scathing counter-attack against Bangladesh amid the Chicken Neck dispute. The Siliguri Corridor, a narrow stretch of land in West Bengal, is often referred to as the ‘Chicken Neck’. This corridor connects the northeastern states to mainland India. The northeastern states are Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura. Recently, Bangladesh interim leader Muhammad Yunus raised the issue of the Chicken Neck region and its evil intentions towards the northeastern states during his visit to China. Now CM Sarma has hit back with two Chicken Neck theories. Sarma said that after Operation Sindoor, India’s defense power is now in front of the world and said that no one can dare to touch Indian land. He said, “We talk about Chicken Neck to shape our internal policies, but no one can lay hands on this Chicken Neck. After Operation Sindoor, people have already understood how powerful India is.” The Assam CM said that Bangladesh will have to be born again even to think about attacking India. Sarma said that Bangladesh is a small country and should not be compared with India. Sarma said that I am not even mentioning our nuclear power right now. Bangladesh will have to be born again even to think about attacking India. There is no need to give any importance to Bangladesh. It is a small country, it cannot be compared with India. He said that we have one Chicken Neck. But Bangladesh has two Chicken Necks. If Bangladesh attacks our Chicken Neck, then we will attack both the Chicken Necks of Bangladesh … Meghalaya’s Chicken Neck connecting Bangladesh’s Chittagong port is even thinner than India’s Chicken Neck and is located just a stone’s throw away.
