Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday asserted that the strategically crucial Siliguri Corridor, often referred to as the 'Chicken's Neck', belongs to India and no one would be allowed to threaten or tamper with it.
Addressing a BJP workers' meeting here, Shah said some people had raised slogans in Delhi claiming they would "cut off the Chicken's Neck", the narrow strip of land connecting mainland India with the northeastern states.
"Some people raised slogans in Delhi saying they would cut off the 'Chicken's Neck'. Why, brother, how will you cut it? Is this your father's land? This is India's land; no one can lay a hand on it," Shah said.
He said Delhi Police had arrested those who raised such slogans, but alleged that leaders of the opposition 'INDIA' alliance had attempted to secure their release.

The process to merge the NCP (SP) and NCP may now face a roadblock due to the death of Ajit Pawar, said Sharad Pawar on Saturday.
Nationalist Congress Party chief and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar was killed along with four others after a Learjet 45 aircraft they were travelling in crashed at Baramati, his hometown here, on January 28.

Union Minister Piyush Goyal on Saturday said he did not expect the merger of two Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) factions - each headed by Ajit Pawar, who was killed in a plane crash two days ago, and his uncle Sharad Pawar.
He said that the NCP, as part of the Mahayuti government in Maharashtra, has performed very well.
"I personally do not see that will happen," he told PTI in an interview when asked his views on the talks of the merger of the two NCP factions.
Goyal said that the NCP leadership "was with Ajit Pawar and now with Sunetra Pawar Ji".
He added that Praful Patel has been appointed as the national president of the Nationalist Congress Party.
"I don't see Mr Sharad Pawar being invited to join the NCP, given that he has lost the people's trust and the vote," he added.
