Western Bengala is seeing violent protests against the WAQF (amendment) law, which left three people dead and several others, including approximately a police officer, injured. The Bharatiya Janata (BJP) party accused the Government led by Mamata Banerje not to protect Hindus and maintain the law and order in the state.
The violent protests reported in several areas of the district of Murshidabad, even in Samserganj, Suti and Dhuliyan, where the mobs set fire to vehicles, attacked houses and collided with the police. Police have arrested about 130 people so far in relation to violence.
The Trinamool Congress led by Mamata (TMC) alleged that the BJP circulated false videos and speeches full of hate in its offer of “riot engineering”, as protests continue against WAQF law. The West Bengal Police also published a photo verification photo, which claimed that most of the videos linked to Murshidabad’s violence were of old incidents.

In the midst of a relentless criticism of the BJP, the TMC has accused the disinformation dissemination of protests and the use of religion to spread the lack of harmony. In a video loaded in the mango of X of the parties, the deputy of TMC, Sushmita Dev said that Mamata Banerje had made it clear that no one will be saved to take the law in their hands.
“We have soy that the protests have tasks located throughout the country. It has happened in Tripura and has happened in parts of Assam. What happened in Murshidabad is extremely unfortunate. But what is even dangerous is the BJP and its false video. Country of old incidents, and projecting them as incidents that are bar in Bengal,” he added.

What is a peaceful protest against Waqf’s law became violence as incidents of violence of the mafia, the fire fire caused in various parts of the Murshidabad district. The Superior Court of Calcutta intervened in the midst of violence and ordered the deployment of central forces to restore law and order.
Some reports said that women and girls were bothered, while other mafia threw bombs and forced people to leave their homes. Hundreds of people affected by violence were forced to flee from the area crossing the Bhagirathi River.
The opposition leader Suvenndu Adjikari said that 400 Hindus of Dhulian were forced to flee through the river. “The TMC appeal policy has emboldened radical elements. Hindus are being hunted, our people are postulated for their lives in their own land! Shame over the state government for allowing this breakdown of the law and order,” he added.
