The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has launched a scathing attack on West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for her non-appearance in the violence-stricken district of Murshidabad, accusing her of displaying anti-Hindu sentiments. BJP Member of Parliament Sambit Patra asserted that Banerjee’s response would have been different if the victims were Muslims. The party further criticized the Communist Party of India (Marxist) for allegedly disassociating itself from the deceased Hindu laborers, shedding light on the politicization of the clashes in Murshidabad subsequent to demonstrations against the Waqf (Amendment) Act. The BJP’s condemnation of Banerjee’s absence in the troubled region underscores the escalating tensions and religious undertones in the aftermath of the clashes in Murshidabad.
