Violent demonstrations were organized in several districts of West Bengal against the Waqf law. Police vehicles were set on fire in Murshidabad, Hooghly, 24 Parganas and Malda districts. Trains and roads were blocked and the incidents of stone pelting and agency were carried out. The first reaction of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has come on the incidents of violence.
CM Mamta Banerjee appealed to the people and said, “We are not in favor of this law. If the Waqf law will not be applicable in West Bengal, then what is the riot?
‘Do not do wrong action in the name of religion’
The CM of West Bengal issued an appeal to the people, saying, “My humble appeal to people of all religions is that please be calm, be restrained.” Do not do any wrong act in the name of religion. Every person’s life is precious, do not provoke riots to do politics. Those who are provoking riots are harming the society. ”
He told the people, “Remember, we have not made the law against which people are angry. This law has been made by the Central Government, so the answer you want should be sought from the central government.
‘Will take action against riots’
Mamta Banerjee said that we have clarified our situation in this matter- we do not support this law. If this law will not be applicable in our state, then what is the riot? He further said that we will take legal action against those who provoke riots. We do not support any violent activity.
Taking a dig at the BJP, he said that some political parties are trying to misuse religion for political gains. Do not get seduced by them. He said that according to me, religion means humanity, goodwill, civilization and harmony. I appeal to everyone to maintain peace and harmony.
