Kolkata, April 16 (NationPress) The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) on Wednesday mocked West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for her recent meeting with imams, muezzins, and religious leaders from the Muslim community in the state amidst the turmoil surrounding the Waqf (Amendment) Act, criticizing her for engaging in appeasement politics.
"It is regrettable that Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee chooses to meet the Ulemas, Imams, and Muazzams linked to the rioters today while remaining silent on the pleas of the violence-affected Hindu community and the ongoing Jihadi attacks," stated VHP national spokesperson Bansal on social media platform X.
"It is even more regrettable that the Chief Minister did not allocate time for the victims of Hindu families following the violence in Murshidabad. Such behavior is indicative of the appeasement politics she practices," he added.
"Will she take decisive action against the group of Jihadi elements and ensure security and compensation for the victims of violence?" Bansal questioned.
"Is there any new strategy to provoke Jihadi organizations to attack Hindus in defiance of laws enacted by the Parliament of Bharat?" his statement continued.
"It is profoundly shameful that the daughters, women, and innocent children of Bengal are forced to abandon their homes and reside in refugee camps, wandering from place to place, while the Jihadi Didi continues to harbor the rioters, driven by the quest for votes from provocative factions! She is nurturing venomous snakes!" Bansal emphasized.
He also questioned whether the Chief Minister would convey a strong message at the meeting that massacres like the one in Murshidabad last week should never reoccur.
"It would be prudent to address them, as terrorist organizations from Bangladesh are collaborating with the violent elements here. They must recognize that it is the state government's duty to restore peace and the rule of law in Bengal; the more they try to evade this responsibility, the quicker they will lose power," Bansal stated.
