BJP’s Suvendu Adhikari Mastermind of Murshidabad Violence: CPI(M)
Violence has once again marred the streets of West Bengal, this time in Murshidabad, as protests by Waqf Board employees turned violent, leaving several injured and properties damaged. The Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI(M)) has jumped into the fray, attributing the violence to both the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). In a surprising twist, the CPI(M) has specifically named two leaders, Humayun Kabir of the TMC and Kartik Maharaj of the BJP, as figures allegedly inciting the trouble. Moreover, the party has called for the immediate arrest of BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari, accusing him of being the “mastermind” behind the violence.
The unrest began when Waqf Board employees in Murshidabad protested against the alleged irregularities and corruption in the appointment of officials. The protests turned violent when members of the TMC and BJP allegedly joined the fray, leading to clashes between the two groups. The violence has left several people injured, and properties damaged, with reports suggesting that police had to resort to lathi-charge to control the situation.
CPI(M) West Bengal Secretary Mohammed Salim has called for a thorough investigation into the violence, stating that it was a deliberate attempt by the ruling TMC and the BJP to create chaos in the state. Salim specifically pointed to TMC’s Humayun Kabir and BJP’s Kartik Maharaj as figures allegedly inciting the trouble. “The TMC and the BJP have joined hands to create a law and order situation in the state,” Salim said. “Their leaders are instigating the violence and it is our responsibility to stop them.”
However, Salim’s strongest criticism was reserved for BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari, whom he accused of being the “mastermind” behind the violence. “Suvendu Adhikari is the one who is fuelling this violence,” Salim said. “He is the one who is instigating the people and creating a situation that can lead to bloodshed. We demand that he be arrested immediately.”
The CPI(M) leader’s comments have sparked a heated debate in the state, with many questioning the motives behind the violence. While the TMC has denied any involvement in the violence, the BJP has accused the CPI(M) of trying to deflect attention from its own failures.
The violence in Murshidabad is just the latest in a series of incidents that have rocked West Bengal in recent months. The state has seen widespread unrest, with clashes between the TMC and the BJP becoming increasingly frequent. The CPI(M) has accused the ruling TMC of using violence and intimidation to silence its opponents, while the BJP has accused the CPI(M) of being involved in a conspiracy to destabilize the state government.
The situation in Murshidabad is particularly volatile, with reports suggesting that tensions have been building for weeks. The Waqf Board employees’ protest was seen as a catalyst for the violence, with both the TMC and the BJP attempting to capitalize on the situation.
As the situation in Murshidabad continues to unfold, the CPI(M) has called for calm and restraint. The party has urged the people of West Bengal to remain peaceful and to reject the divisive politics of the TMC and the BJP. The CPI(M) has also demanded that the state government take immediate action to address the grievances of the Waqf Board employees and to ensure that the violence is brought under control.
In conclusion, the violence in Murshidabad is a stark reminder of the fragile political situation in West Bengal. The CPI(M) has accused the TMC and the BJP of being involved in the violence, and has specifically named two leaders as figures allegedly inciting the trouble. The party has also called for the arrest of BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari, accusing him of being the “mastermind” behind the violence. As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen what the consequences will be for those involved.
