IndiaTimes Monday, 30 December 2024
Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee announced the renaming of Kolkata's Star Theatre to Binodini Theatre to honor actress Binodini Dasi, who was marginalized due to her origins.

Murshidabad Waqf Violence: Why Is West Bengal Spiraling Out of Control?

The Murshidabad Waqf Violence has shaken the very conscience of the nation. What began as legislative reform through the Waqf Amendment Act has now turned into a brutal reminder of how communal tensions can be weaponised. In Murshidabad, West Bengal, Hindu families are fleeing, internet has been suspended, and over 150 arrests have been made. A shocking video of threats being issued to Hindus has gone viral, sparking debates on radicalisation, law and order and state complicity. Is this mere protest or a deeper network at play? Why is Mamata Banerjee silent? Has the Waqf Amendment been hijacked for vote-bank politics? We explore how Murshidabad Waqf Violence reveals the cracks in Bengal’s governance. The Murshidabad Waqf Violence is no longer a local issue—it’s a national alarm bell. #MurshidabadWaqfViolence #BengalBurning #WaqfAmendmentAct #HinduExodus #RadicalismExposed ~HT.178~PR.282~GR.125~
