This video is from Calcutta.

The situation in Bengal is exactly like Pakistan and the people who are breaking the glass of the vehicles are mullahs, because they have to break the fast by sitting on the road, it is not too late to happen in the whole country. In 70 years, Hindus became a minority in 8 states.”
