In a post on X, Adhikari said: "Then what did this shameless and unscrupulous state government do? It turned the relief camps into detention camps. It prevented the refugees from communicating with the media, representatives of voluntary organizations or anyone outside. It fed the homeless Hindus unpalatable food of rice filled with pebbles and vegetables with insects."

He also alleged that fundamentalists with "covert cooperation" of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee led West Bengal government are attempting to "ethnically eliminate" Hindus from Murshidabad district under the pretext of opposing the Waqf Amendment Act.
