Senior Trinamool Congress leader Siddikullah Chaudhary said, “Even during the rule of the Left parties, the police never lathi -charged the minorities. If someone has resorted to violence, then action should be obviously taken. But lathicharge on a rally is unacceptable. ”
BJP accused the state government

BJP state president Sukant Mazumdar accused ‘X’ in a post that a special community rioted in Murshidabad, set fire to police vehicles and destroyed government property, while the Chief Minister remained “silent”.
Why protest is happening?
Parliament passed the Waqf (Amendment) Bill last week. President Draupadi Murmu gave his approval to the proposed law on April 5. The BJP -led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) supported the bill, while the ‘India’ alliance of opposition parties opposed it. Many Muslim organizations and opposition MPs have approached the Supreme Court against the law.
The ruling coalition has described it as a step of increasing transparency and empowerment for backward Muslims and women of the community. At the same time, the opposition has termed it as unconstitutional and said that the Waqf (Amendment) law violates the rights of Muslims.
