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.'

Lawyer Jindal, who filed the FIR, said `Mamata Banerjee told a public meeting of Trinamool student wing members, 'Remember, if you burn Bengal, Assam, North-East, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha and Delhi will also burn. We will shake the Prime Minister's chair. It is clear that this statement is instigating, provocative and anti-national in nature.'
