Kolkata: Violence is related to new Waqf law It rose in Bengal on Monday, covering Bhangar on the outskirts of Kolkata, as Mob occupied the roads and exposed a barrage of bricks, injuring at least 16 police officers.
Triggers for road anarchy in Bhanghar, a unstable pocket with the history of political violence, a unstable pocket with the history of political violence, a unstable pocket, the Indian Secular Front (ISF) rally was preventing the rally from Kolkata to Ramlila Maidan, with the history of political violence.
Unlike a crack in Bhanghar in the point of view of the police, in contrast to a crack in Murshidabad, where 11 FIRs were lodged and the number of arrests was more than 200.
Police scored more than 50 suspects in Murshidabad overnight, based on how the crowd spread to homes from Friday night and targeted people. Internet suspension was extended to the pockets of Malda and Birbam districts, embedded for conflicting belts.
One of the 11 FIRs was based on a complaint by Pompepa Das, whose husband Chandan and Septuaznerian father -in -law Hargodindo were among the three casualties in communal violence. He told how a mob dragged the pair from his house in Jatrapara and looked at them from the roof, while the helpless family saw his roof scary.
DGP Rajiv Kumar said that the situation in Dhulian and other violence-filled parts of Murshidabad, in which many suspected kidnappings and injuries were also told to many people, now “completely under control”.
CM Mamta Banerjee appealed to all communities with “folded hands” not to get excited. CM said, “Today, on the eve of Poila Baisakh, I urge everyone to practice their democratic rights (to protest) peacefully.”
“But remember, whoever you are, A, B, C or D, do not take laws in their hands. Some people can provoke you, but cannot be provoked … they (his contradicts) can provoke me, even to the extent of changing my surname. What kind of people will do? Dharma should be used?
In Bhanghar, the latest flashpoints of Waqf protests on the outskirts of Kolkata, sailing vehicles to ISF supporters were first stopped near Bairampur on Basanti highway. Stand-off violence increased as the police allegedly used baton against protesters. A similar effort by the police of Bhangar Division in Bhangar and Kolkata Police Reserve Battalion promoted crowds. About 2,000-odd protesters later blocked the Basanti highway for four hours. Kolkata Police Headquarters, Lalbazar, cited intelligence on “ISF Mobilizing crowd” as a ban on meetings at the center of the city.
At the Sealdah rally, ISF MLA Naushad Siddiqui questioned the intervention of the police. “CM has said that a new Waqf law will not be implemented in this state. We do not even want it to be implemented. That is why we organized a rally in Sealdah. Why did the police interrupt our workers from going there?”
Mayor Firhad Hakim advised the protesters to direct their works towards Delhi. “Why are they staging a drama here and inconvenience people? When we take the streets and block the roads, it causes trouble for everyone. If you want to protest, the best thing is to organize a collective call to go to Delhi. Protests should be done where the Waqf law has been implemented or will be implemented in those states.
Violence was also reported on Monday in Siliguri city of North Bengal, in which a couple of RAF battalions were deployed in Jyoti Nagar area after colliding during the festival of two groups. Police said the struggle appeared from “a rumor”.
