The West Bengal Assembly's Leader of Opposition, Suvendu Adhikari, has accused the Trinamool Congress (TMC) leaders of orchestrating communal violence in Murshidabad district.
In a video post on X, Adhikari names Md. Inzamul Haque, Chairman of Dhulian Municipality, is the alleged instigator of the recent riots in the region. According to the LoP, Haque "abused his power" and directly led violent attacks, inciting unrest through "provocative and venomous statements." The LoP said, "There is clear evidence in the video that this person is involved in the riots. He should be arrested immediately and severely punished for this heinous crime. Why are they being left out?" Adhikari points to a larger political conspiracy, alleging that, "from Mothabari to Dhulian, Trinamool Congress leaders are the main conspirators and catalysts of anti-Hindu riots. Such toxic politics of Trinamool Congress is just an attempt to endanger Hindus and enrich their own vote bank." "They are the ones who are disturbing the peace by spreading hatred in society and inciting fundamentalists. Their hate speech and activities are directly responsible for creating riots. It is time to unmask these rioters!" he added. Earlier, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee met with muslim clerics in Kolkata, amid protests against the Waqf (Amendment) Act. Adhikari claimed on Wednesday that the CM is "instigating people" to go to Delhi and shut down the national capital. "It was a facilitated meeting. These people are rioters, the ones who did communal clash in Mothabari, they are being uplifted, Mamata Banerjee is instigating them to go to Delhi and shut down Delhi. To go to Delhi, you have to go through Uttar Pradesh. Mamata Banerjee is not in power in Delhi, Bihar and UP," the BJP leader told ANI in Kolkata. His comments come after the Bengal CM met with prominent muslim clerics and religious leaders from across the state in Kolkata's Netaji Indoor Stadium. Sarcastically urging the Bengal CM to go to Delhi, he mentioned that BJP leaders or allies are incharge of those states, "Nitish Kumar and Yogi Adityanath are there in UP, Bihar, you go." He also criticised CM Banerjee, questioning the Centre for "failing to secure India's Unrest broke out in Murshidabad during protests against the Waqf (Amendment) Act on April 11.
