The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) condemned the police’s treatment of Hindu Jagran Manch protesters outside the Bangladesh Deputy High Commission in Kolkata. The party accused West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of using the police to suppress democratic protests by Hindus in the state.
BJP’s Information Technology Cell Chief, Amit Malviya, denounced the police’s actions, stating that the assault on protesters, including women and the elderly, was a deliberate act of state-sponsored violence. The protests were in response to the murder of Hindu man Dipu Chandra Das in Bangladesh, which sparked outrage among the Hindu community.
Malviya criticized Mamata Banerjee for allowing the police to turn a peaceful demonstration into a violent confrontation. He highlighted the stark contrast between the treatment of Hindus in Bangladesh and West Bengal, accusing the state government of brutality against those seeking justice.
The BJP emphasized its support for Bengal’s Hindu community, pledging to defend their rights and safety against what they perceive as oppressive actions by the state government.
