Suvendu Adhikari, Leader of the Opposition in the West Bengal Legislative Assembly, is protesting with BJP MLAs outside the West Bengal Assembly in Kolkata, India, on December 4, 2023. The BJP MLAs are currently challenging an FIR filed against them by the Kolkata Police, which accuses the legislators of insulting the National Anthem within the state Assembly premises. Justice Jay Sengupta of the Calcutta High Court is admitting the petition of the BJP MLAs, and the matter is set to come up for hearing later today. Although the city police have sent a notice for questioning to 12 BJP legislators, 10 of them are moving the Calcutta High Court to challenge the notice and the FIR.
