Mamata Banerjee holds Hindus responsible for the riots
Howrah (Bengal) – Hindus took out processions at various places in the evening of Ramnavami, 30th March. Fanatic Muslims pelted stones and started arson in the Shibpur area of Howrah. Fanatic Muslims attacked the procession in Shibpur, alleging that Hindus were raising objectionable slogans during the procession which led to the flare-up. Meanwhile, the Hindus said that the attack was pre-planned.

Mamata claims she had warned Hindus to avoid taking out processions in Muslim-dominated areas
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had warned a day before Ramnavami that strict action would be taken if Hindus carried weapons on the occasion of Ramnavami and attacked Muslim areas. In response to the ensuing riots, Mamata Banerjee said, “My eyes and ears are open. I can see everything. I told them earlier about the likelihood of such incidents. I had warned them to avoid processions through Muslim-dominated areas, as such processions will lead to violence. This is the month of Ramzan; therefore, Muslims cannot do any wrong. Those who are involved in the violence, will not be spared. I am giving orders to the Police to take action against people involved in the violence”. Hindus are infuriated since rioting Muslims are protected and innocent Shriram devotees are being held responsible.

Mamata Banerjee should have arranged for security ! – BJP
BJP reacted to the violence that ten thousand processions were to be taken out in the State on the occasion of Ramnavami; therefore, she, as the State Chief Minister and Home Minister, should have arranged for proper security, but she was busy holding a Dharna.
“As Bengal’s CM-HM, Mamata Banerjee directly responsible for violence. When over 10,000 processions were taken out, she was on a Dharna. When she should’ve looked after Police mgmt, she was doing politics..,” says BJP’s Amit Malviya on Howarah ruckus during Ram Navami procession pic.twitter.com/54IUqvTgqp

How do people who fast during Ramzan riot and pelt stones at the religious processions of Hindus ? Note that the so-called secularists and progressive factions never ask Muslims about this ! Considering the law & order problems in Bengal, there is no alternative but to impose President’s Rule in Bengal so as to protect Hindus. |
