Hindus torchered in TMC rule [ West Bengal, India]

[ Reported as seen]

Mottakinur Rahaman, the Deputy Superintendent of Police had ordered tear gas shelling and lathi charges on the Hindus in Nadia. The incident took place at the Nakashipara police station in Bethuadahari, Nadia. Devdutta took to his Twitter handle and shared images of Hindus, who, have been implicated in false cases.

The bare bodies of the Hindu victims recently tweeted by a Devdutta Maji , show wound marks suggesting that they were beaten up with batons.

Devdutt Majhi further claims that as the state police helmed by Mamata Banerjee is arresting the Hindus, two Hindu families have taken shelter at his residence.

On June 12, 2022, an Islamist mob attacked the Bethuadahari railway station, Nadia, and vandalized a local train at the station. The attacks were for showing disagreement against Nupur Sharma quoting Islamic religious texts on national television.

Several shops at the Bethuadahari market were ransacked and  the escalating violence soon led to the blockade of the national highway 34 for several hours. The police were present at the site of the violence, but they could do nothing to combat Islamist violence.

The radical mob then headed for the nearby Bethuadahari railway station and tore down the station. During this tumult, the Krishnanagar Lalgola local train arrived at the station. The mob immediately started hurling stones at the train while there were still passengers on the train. This led to a massive panic among the passengers also. Unable to control the Islamist rioters, the administration suspended train services for over an hour, which resulted in great inconvenience in the lives of the general public. On Monday evening, again, violence started to erupt in parts of Nakashipara.

Additional Director General (Law & Order), West Bengal Police, Jawed Shamim, said, “More than 200 people have been arrested, and 42 FIRs have been registered. No one will be spared. Strict action will be taken against those involved, and they will be booked. We will ensure maximum punishment.” However, there is no information about the identity of those arrested. On the other hand, Hindu activist Devdutt Majhi’s allegations against the police for arresting innocent Hindus strongly contrast with the police statement.

The West Bengal police, which couldn’t bar Islamist mobs from wreaking havoc in the state, had blocked West Bengal Leader of Opposition (LoP) Suvendu Adhikari from visiting violence-affected regions on the afternoon of June 12.

Instead of taking action against the constant rise of Islamist violence in the state, CM Mamta Banerjee, put the blame on BJP. She tweeted, “As I have said before, the public life of Howrah is being disrupted, and there is an incident of unrest. There are some political parties behind this, and they want to spread unrest – but these will not be tolerated, and there will be strict action against all this. The BJP has sinned, will the people suffer?”

Kolkata Mayor Firhad Hakim who has been arrested said, “Bengal is a harmonious place. They are trying to destroy it. However, the state government will not allow this.” As evident, the state government, through its incapability to stop the riots by Islamist mobs, has allowed them to create unrest.

Earlier, the Islamists were given shelter in the state, in exchange of votes, now, when the situation has gotten out of hand, the poor blame game is being played by the radical extremists who have been placed high up in the authority and regularly hide heinous crimes on Hindus.
