The mortal remains of the two tourists from Kolkata — Sameer Guhar from Behala’s Sakher Bazar and Bitan Adhikari of Vaishnav Ghata, Patuli, arrived at Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport at 8 pm on Wednesday.
Senior state ministers Aroop Biswas and Firhad Hakim, Leader of Opposition in Assembly Suvendu Adhikari, and BJP MP from Tamluk Agnimitra Paul, were present at the airport.
“Everything is over for me. Amar cheler samne baba k mere dilo (They killed his father in front of my child). I came because you all are here. I want punishment for my husband’s killers,” Bitan Adhikari’s wife, Sohini Adhikari said
“My husband used to support you all a lot, that’s why I’m here to show my support,” she added.
BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari lifted up Bitan’s son and comforted the child at the airport and told Bitan’s wife, Sohini, “This will not be tolerated, Bitan was killed because he was a Hindu. We will see the end of this.”
“They will kill Hindus in Hindustan! Gaza is over, Israel is over. We will also end it. We are Modi’s disciples. We are
Modi’s children,” Suvendu further said.
