Their culture, our culture is the same. But remember, Bangladesh is a separate state. Bhavatvarsh is a separate state.'

Uttar Pradesh will not stop either. Bihar also will not stop. Jharkhand will not stop either. Orissa will not stop. And Delhi will not stop either. We will make your chair wobble.'

The divisive politics must be stopped immediately.'

We will shake the Prime Minister's chair. It is clear that this statement is instigating, provocative and anti-national in nature.'
