NEW DELHI: BJP on Wednesday said the report of the fact-finding committee set up by Calcutta HC on the Murshidabad violence over the Waqf bill was the most damning indictment yet of the Mamata Banerjee-led TMC govt.
"The report... has exposed the anti-Hindu brutality of the TMC govt in its full ugly form," BJP spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi said.
Though Trivedi kept his focus on TMC, the Rajya Sabha MP did not spare others in the opposition, as well as peace activists. "Those who question, 'why war with Pakistan' have not uttered a single word about the atrocities committed against Hindus in Murshidabad. Not a single word has been said about the brutal killing of a father and son - Hargobind Das and Chandan Das. Yet, these very same individuals expressed sympathy for Pakistan following Operation Sindoor."
Amit Malviya, head of BJP's IT cell who also looks after the organisation in Bengal, was scathing on CM Banerjee over the committee's findings about the anti-Hindu violence having been masterminded by TMC functionaries and supported by police inaction. "The report squarely blames her party (TMC) and its elected representatives, including the local councillor and MLA, for abetting the violence and doing nothing to control the situation. Their acts of commission and omission emboldened police and civil administration to remain passive as Hindu homes burned," he said on X.
The communal unrest broke out on April 8 in areas like Dhulian, Suti and Samserganj, with the violence escalating over protests against the newly-promulgated waqf Act. Central armed police forces were deployed only on the night of April 12, following the HC's orders.
Union minister and Bengal BJP president Sukanta Majumdar said the committee's findings pointed to the involvement of local councillor Mehboob Alam, MLAs and other TMC netas. "Despite his role as a principal conspirator, police failed to act against him during the violence," he said.
