Mamata accuses BSF, central agencies and BJP of fanning communal tensions
Meanwhile, the chief minister of Bengal, Mamata Banerjee accused that the communal violence in Murshidabad was "pre-planned". She further alleged that BSF, central agencies under MHA and BJP fanned the tension by allegedly facilitating cross-border influx from Bangladesh.
She ugred PM Modi not to implement Waqf (Amendment) Act, adding that it would divide the country. She also requested to rein in Union home minister Amit Shah, whom she accused of "harming the nation most for his own political agenda ".
"I came across news claiming the role of elements from across the border in Murshidabad unrest . Is it not the role of the BSF to guard the border? The BSF is under the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). The state government does not guard the international border. The Central government can't evade responsibility. I will find out whom the BSF had financed in the border areas by paying money to local youths to pelt stones during the violence," the CM said.
'Would request the Prime Minister to keep a check on Amit Shah,' says Mamata
Bengal CM also announced compensation of Rs 10 lakh for the families of the deceased.
"I would request the Prime Minister to keep a check on Amit Shah. He is harming the country most to serve his political interests. Why is he (Amit Shah) in such a hurry? He will never become the Prime Minister, and what will he do once Modi-ji leaves? The PM must see how his home minister is misusing central agencies. PM Modi-ji must control him," Banerjee said.
"Why were BJP goons from outside allowed to come and create chaos before fleeing the scene? Accountability must be fixed. They want to polarise and divide Hindus and Muslims. They want their jumla government. Don't divide the country, unite it instead," she added.
According to the official order, all the officers are directed to report by 12 pm tomorrow.
