After BJP leader and LoP in West Bengal Assembly Suvendu Adhikari's convoy was attacked in Cooch Behar, BJP leader Nisith Pramanik said it was a preplanned attack. "This isn’t politics. This is jihad-backed terror, openly protected by the state," Pramanik stated. "The people came out of the mosque and attacked, and the police kept standing as mute spectators," he added.
