Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Murshidabad visit: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said in Murshidabad that some outsiders and some religious leaders are trying to incite violence and enmity among the communities. He said that those who are inciting riots are enemies of West Bengal. Indirectly targeting the BJP and the central government, Mamta said that when you are on the chair, people cannot distribute people on religious grounds.
West Bengal Chief Minister Banerjee said that the BJP sent the Murshidabad riot -affected families to another place to prevent them from meeting me. Taking a dig at the BJP -led central government, Mamta said that instead of inciting communal violence, efforts should be made to protect our borders.

He said that I could have gone to Murshidabad even before, but if there is no peace and stability, then we should not go there and interrupt. Stability in Murshidabad has returned long ago.

What is in the Governor’s report: Bose has submitted a report to the Union Home Ministry on the recent riots in Murshidabad district, mentioning that the dual problem of fundamentalism and extremism has become a serious challenge for the state. Bose has suggested several measures in its report, which includes the formation of an inquiry commission and installing posts of central forces in the districts bordering Bangladesh. Apart from this, he wrote that there is no need to say that provisions under Article 356 of the Constitution will also remain alternative. The implementation of Article 356 of the Constitution means the implementation of President’s rule in the state.
In this violence, at least three people, including a person and his son, lost their lives and many were injured. The riot took place amid protests against the Waqf (Amendment) Act. In the report, the governor also claimed that the riots appear to be ‘pre -planned’ and the state government was aware of the adjacent threat to law and order in Murshidabad. (Agency/Webdunia)
