Kolkata, April 22 (NationPress) The head of the BJP Information Technology Cell and Central Observer for West Bengal, Amita Malviya, on Tuesday, mocked Mamata Banerjee, the Chief Minister of West Bengal, for her comments regarding the Pahalgam attack, where numerous tourists are feared to have lost their lives due to terrorist actions.
Previously, Mamata Banerjee expressed, “My sincere condolences go out to the families of those who have perished, and I pray for the quick recovery of the injured. Such acts of violence are completely unacceptable and must face consequences.”
Malviya stated that although the tragedy in Kashmir was “unquestionably devastating,” the conditions in West Bengal were just as “concerning.”
“You, Mamata Banerjee, are orchestrating a demographic transition to protect your political interests. The occurrences in Murshidabad highlight the increasing communal tension brewing just below the surface. Therefore, reflect on your actions. Visit Murshidabad. You remain the Chief Minister,” Malviya urged.
This month, areas in the minority-heavy Murshidabad district have been turbulent due to communal violence following protests against the Waqf (Amendment) Bill that escalated.
Reports indicate three fatalities and numerous individuals, including women and children, have been displaced due to the communal unrest.
A special division bench of the Calcutta High Court, which mandated the deployment of central armed police forces (CAPF) on April 12, remarked that the West Bengal government's strategies to manage communal violence were insufficient.
The bench also noted that if the CAPF had been deployed sooner, the situation would not have been so “serious” and “unstable.”
