Spiritual leader Sadhguru on Monday said that the Siliguri corridor was an anomaly created by partition, which should have been corrected in 1971.He further said that today, as the nation faces a threat to its sovereignty, India must develop the chicken into an elephant, referring to extremist policies by the Bangladeshi regime.He said, “Siliguri Corridor is a 78-year-old anomaly created by Bharat’s partition, which should have been corrected in 1971. Now that there is an open threat to the nation’s sovereignty, it is time to nourish the chicken and allow it to evolve into an elephant.”The spiritual leader was responding to recent statements by some Bangladeshi leaders invoking the “Chicken’s Neck” or Siliguri Corridor and threatening India of cutting it off.Earlier, former Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina described such rhetoric as “dangerous and irresponsible,” saying no serious leader would threaten a neighbour on whom Bangladesh depends for trade, transit and stability.She said such voices “do not represent the Bangladeshi people,” and expressed confidence that “once democracy is restored and responsible governance returns, such reckless talk will end.”Commenting on indications of growing Pakistan-Bangladesh engagement, Sheikh Hasina said Bangladesh believes in “friendship to all, malice toward none,” but criticised what she described as Yunus’ “headlong embrace” of Islamabad.As per the Assam Accord and subsequent provisions under the Citizenship Act, individuals who entered Assam from Bangladesh before March 24, 1971, and have been residing in the state, are deemed Indian citizens. Those who migrated after the cut-off date are considered illegal immigrants under Indian law.Meanwhile on December 27, amid the ongoing protests against the atrocities faced by the minorities in Bangladesh, the BJP workers on Friday held a torchlight rally in Siliguri.BJP leader Anita Mahato, who also participated in the rally, stated that until Hindus unite, such violent incidents will continue to occur.”We (BJP workers) held a torchlight rally against the way sanatani Hindus are being tortured in Bangladesh in Siliguri. We want to send a message that unless we Hindus unite, such situations will continue. The Hindus in Bangladesh have been burnt alive without clothes… We have to fight the same way for religion, like the way we fight for food, shelter, and livelihood,” she said.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos‘We Will Win In The End’: Kuldeep Sengar’s Daughter Speaks After SC order On Unnao Rape Sentence’No Amount Of Finger Pointing…’: India Slams Pakistan Over Comments On Minorities In India’Blown Up In A Car’: Woman Threatens Asim Munir In Bradford Rally, Pakistan Summons UK EnvoyTurn Chicken’s Neck Into Elephant: Sadhguru Flags Siliguri Corridor As Strategic Weak Link’Won’t Spare A Single Infiltrator’: Amit Shah’s Poll Promise In Assam, Slams Cong Over InfiltrationUnnao Rape Survivor Welcomes Supreme Court Order, Says Legal Fight To Continue Till Sengar Is HangedSupreme Court Stays Its Order On Aravalli Definition, Environment Minister Welcomes Move’Called Minor Matter, Refused FIR’: Tripura Student Angel Chakma’s Father Blasts Uttarakhand PoliceAustralia, US And UK Raise Alarm Over Fake Rabies Vaccine As India Pushes Back On ClaimsShashi Tharoor Slams Racial Attack and Murder of Tripura Student In Dehradun As ‘National Disgrace’123Photostories‘Bigg Boss’ 19 fame Tanya Mittal’s accessory game is LIT: From pearl choker to kundan necklacesBharti Singh and newborn son Kaju receive a grand welcome home as family decorates the house for ChristmasFrom Smriti Mandhana-Palash Muchhal to Celina Jaitly-Peter Haag: 7 celebrity break-ups and divorces that shocked fans in 20255 times OpenAI CEO Sam Altman showed that fatherhood comes first9 national parks in India that are best explored on footWould you drive on these dangerous and unusual highways?Winter Special: How to make Matar ki Kachori for dinnerTV stars who ruled the headlines in 2025: From Gaurav Khanna to Tejasswi Prakash20 New Year’s resolutions worth making for 20268 powerful Haruki Murakami quotes that make you rethink life123Hot PicksSilver price todayPAN-Aadhaar linkingCristiano RonaldoGold rate todayIncome Tax RefundIndian Railways fareBank Holidays DecemberTop TrendingMatt Hardy and Reby Sky Net WorthTravis KelcePatrick MahomesRobert Kraft & Gayle Benson Net WorthAjit PawarLebron JamesWWE Raw PreviewUnnao Rape CaseRajkumar BafnaNew York Yankees
