Centre & State Responsible for Murshidabad Violence: Congress’ Pramod
The recent violence in Murshidabad, a district in West Bengal, has left many people injured and several others displaced from their homes. The violence, which was allegedly carried out by Bangladeshi infiltrators, has sparked a heated debate about the roles of the central and state governments in preventing such incidents.
Congress MP Pramod Tiwari has weighed in on the issue, saying that both the central and state governments are responsible for the violence. Speaking to the media, Tiwari expressed concern about the situation, saying, “I am in pain with what happened in Murshidabad.” He emphasized that the victims of the violence should get justice and that the governments should take concrete steps to prevent such incidents in the future.
Tiwari’s comments come at a time when tensions are running high in Murshidabad and surrounding areas. The violence, which began on April 14, has resulted in the displacement of thousands of people and has caused significant damage to property.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which is in power at the centre, has been quick to point fingers at the West Bengal government, led by the All India Trinamool Congress (TMC), for not doing enough to prevent the violence. The BJP has claimed that the TMC government is responsible for the violence and that it has failed to provide adequate security to the people of Murshidabad.
However, the TMC has rejected the BJP’s claims, saying that the violence was a result of the Centre’s failure to check the influx of Bangladeshi infiltrators into the country. The TMC has also accused the BJP of trying to polarize the electorate by spreading communal hatred.
The Congress, on the other hand, has taken a more nuanced approach to the issue. While Tiwari has acknowledged that the Centre and state governments are responsible for the violence, he has also emphasized the need for a comprehensive approach to addressing the issue of Bangladeshi infiltrators.
“We need to have a multi-pronged approach to tackle the issue of Bangladeshi infiltrators,” Tiwari said. “This includes strengthening our borders, improving our intelligence gathering capabilities, and providing relief to the victims of the violence.”
Tiwari’s comments are in line with the Congress party’s stance on the issue of Bangladeshi infiltrators. The party has long maintained that the issue should be addressed through a diplomatic and political approach, rather than through violence and hate speech.
The Congress party has also been critical of the Centre’s handling of the situation, saying that the government has failed to provide adequate support to the people of Murshidabad and surrounding areas.
“The Centre has been more interested in scoring political points than in providing relief to the victims of the violence,” a Congress spokesperson said. “The government should focus on providing aid to the affected families and ensuring that those responsible for the violence are brought to justice.”
The Congress party’s stance on the issue of Bangladeshi infiltrators is in line with its long-standing commitment to secularism and communal harmony. The party has always maintained that the issue of Bangladeshi infiltrators should be addressed through a political and diplomatic approach, rather than through violence and hate speech.
In conclusion, the recent violence in Murshidabad has left many people injured and displaced from their homes. While the Centre and state governments are responsible for the violence, the Congress party has emphasized the need for a comprehensive approach to addressing the issue of Bangladeshi infiltrators. The party has called for strengthening our borders, improving our intelligence gathering capabilities, and providing relief to the victims of the violence.
