West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari on Sunday (October 4, 2026) said his government will bring stringent laws against "love jihad" and "land jihad" in six months, and implement a Uniform Civil Code in the State like Uttarakhand and Gujarat.

Addressing an event in Kolkata to mark the birth centenary of Vishva Hindu Parishad's (VHP) former president Ashok Singhal, he said the BJP government in the State would function in accordance with the Constitution, but would not tolerate attacks on Indian culture, tradition and places of worship.

"This government will not allow any anti-national activity here," he said and urged people to remain united and vigilant against "divisive forces".

Mr. Adhikari said, "You can rest assured that the government will function in accordance with the Constitution. But it will not allow any attack on Indian culture, Sanatani traditions, temples and monasteries, and our heritage that spiritual icons Vivekananda and Mahaprabhu Sri Chaitanya have propounded."
