'Hindus are not safe in Bengal': BJP alleges as 3 killed, over 130 arrested over Bengal Waqf protest
PTC News Desk: At least three people were killed and over 130 arrested in West Bengal's violence-hit Murshidabad district. The paramilitary forces continue with their patrolling in the deserted streets of the district.
Meanwhile, opposition leader Suvendu Adhikari alleged that Hindus are not safe in the state and that the situation is very critical and sensitive.
“One has to go to court to celebrate Hindu festivals here. Today also a lot of violence happened. Yesterday two deaths happened and one more in police firing. In Dhuliyan Hindu shops were looted. The situation is out of police control. 35 policemen have been injured so far,” Adhikari stated.
"Mamata Banerjee is doing politics of appeasement. I had earlier written to the Governor (for deployment of central forces in Bengal), yesterday I also appealed to the Chief Minister. When these people did not do so, I went to court today. Tomorrow there is a BJP rally in College Square. The ground reality is that Hindus are not safe in Bengal, the situation is very serious, delicate," he added.
In a fresh development, Inspector General of South Bengal Frontier, Border Security Force (BSF), Karni Singh Shekhawat reached the violence-hit area in Murshidabad after the Calcutta High Court ordered deployment of central forces in the affected area.
