"Our central leadership is observing the situation in the neighbouring country. The government, which is functioning in such a way, can't be tolerated to run the show. There will be no opportunity for repentance if they don't take corrective steps," he said.

He also urged the people to raise voices against the atrocities in the neighbouring country.

"We are celebrating Durga Puja here while idols of Goddess Durga and Goddess Kali are being desecrated in Bangladesh. It's time to be united and raise voice against such atrocities in the neighbouring country," he said.
