Assam’s Chief Minister Issues Stark Warning to Bangladesh Over Chicken Neck Dispute
In a recent escalation of tensions, Assam’s Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has once again directed a pointed warning towards Bangladesh regarding the contentious Chicken Neck region. Just days ago, he raised concerns about two Chicken Neck areas in Bangladesh, and now he has taken to social media to share a map of Bangladesh, emphasizing the need for caution among those who threaten India’s territorial integrity. This ongoing dispute highlights the delicate balance of regional politics and national pride.
Himanta Sarma previously asserted that while India has one Chicken Neck, Bangladesh possesses two. He warned that any aggression from Bangladesh towards its Chicken Neck could provoke a reciprocal response from India. However, he did not provide concrete evidence to support his claims at that time. Now, with a more aggressive stance, he has shared a map on social media, clearly marking the two regions in Bangladesh that are referred to as Chicken Necks. This move not only intensifies the rhetoric but also serves as a reminder of the complexities involved in border disputes, where national sentiments run high and diplomatic channels are often strained.
