Impose Article 355 in Murshidabad, Deploy Central Force: Suvendu
The recent violent incident that occurred during a protest against the Waqf (Amendment) Act in Murshidabad, West Bengal, has raised serious concerns about the law and order situation in the state. Amidst the chaos and destruction, BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari has demanded the imposition of Article 355 in Murshidabad and the deployment of central forces to maintain peace and stability.
The protest, which was organized by various Muslim organizations, turned violent when a group of protesters clashed with the police, resulting in widespread damage to property and injuries to several people. The situation has become increasingly tense, with the administration struggling to contain the violence.
In the midst of this chaos, Suvendu Adhikari, a prominent leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), has called for the imposition of Article 355 in Murshidabad. Article 355 of the Constitution empowers the Centre to take control of the administration of a state if it feels that the situation is getting out of hand.
Adhikari, in a statement, criticized the Bengal government for its inability to maintain law and order in the state. He questioned the government’s stance on seeking deployment of central forces elsewhere, saying, “What’s stopping them from seeking deployment of the Central Forces elsewhere?”
The BJP leader stated that the situation in Murshidabad is “getting out of hand” and that the state government is unable to handle the situation. He emphasized that the Centre needs to intervene and take control of the situation to ensure that peace and stability are maintained.
Adhikari’s demand for the imposition of Article 355 is not without merit. The recent violence in Murshidabad highlights the failure of the state government to maintain law and order in the state. The government’s inability to contain the violence and restore peace has raised serious concerns about its ability to govern the state effectively.
Furthermore, the Centre’s role in maintaining law and order in the state is crucial. The Constitution vests the Centre with the power to deploy central forces in a state if it feels that the situation is getting out of hand. By imposing Article 355, the Centre can take control of the administration of the state and ensure that peace and stability are maintained.
In addition to imposing Article 355, Adhikari has also demanded the deployment of central forces in Murshidabad. This is essential to restore peace and stability in the state and to prevent further violence.
The deployment of central forces would provide an additional layer of security to the people of Murshidabad and would help to reassure them that the Centre is committed to maintaining law and order in the state. It would also send a strong message to the protesters and the state government that the Centre will not tolerate violence and lawlessness.
In conclusion, Suvendu Adhikari’s demand for the imposition of Article 355 in Murshidabad and the deployment of central forces is a timely and necessary step to restore peace and stability in the state. The Centre needs to take immediate action to address the law and order situation in Murshidabad and ensure that peace and stability are maintained.
