BJP leader accuses West Bengal CM of importing "Bangladesh situation" with violence against Hindus in Murshidabad district.
Hitting out at West Bengal Chief Minister over violence in Murshidabad district concerning Waqf Amendment Act, BJP leader and Union Minister Sukanta Majumdar alleged on Sunday (April 20, 2025) that she was importing “Bangladesh situation” and “Hindus are being murdered” in the state.
Mr. Majumdar, who is Union Minister of State for Education, said that people are aware of the situation in Bangladesh, which is a foreign country. He alleged that the Trinamool Congress leader has made West Bengal, “Bangladesh version lite”. “Mamata Banerjee has already made West Bengal- Bangladesh Lite. Hindus are being killed in West Bengal...We are all aware of the situation in Bangladesh,” Mr. Majumdar told ANI.
He was asked about the brutal killing of Hindu leader Bhabesh Chandra Roy in Bangladesh. India on Saturday (April 19, 2025) (April 19, 2025) expressed strong concern over the abduction and brutal killing of Hindu minority leader Bhabesh Chandra Roy in Bangladesh, calling it part of a troubling pattern of persecution. Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) condemned the incident and urged the interim government in Bangladesh to ensure protection for all minorities.
“We have noted with distress the abduction and brutal killing of Shri Bhabesh Chandra Roy, a Hindu minority leader in Bangladesh,” MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said in a post on X.
“This killing follows a pattern of systematic persecution of Hindu minorities under the interim government even as the perpetrators of previous such events roam with impunity. We condemn this incident and once again remind the interim government to live up to its responsibility of protecting all minorities, including Hindus, without inventing excuses or making distinctions,” he said.
The postmortem of Mr. Roy, who was allegedly abducted and beaten to death earlier this week in Dinajpur district’s Biral upazila, Bangladesh, has been completed, police said on Saturday (April 19, 2025).
Mr. Roy was a resident of Basudebpur village under Shatagram Union and served as vice-president of the Biral unit of the Bangladesh Puja Udjapan Parishad. He was widely respected within the local Hindu community.
