Hindus not safe under Mamata Banerjee’s rule: Giriraj Singh
The politics of appeasement and vote bank politics have become a major concern in India, with several leaders accused of indulging in such tactics to gain political mileage. The latest to join the chorus is Union Minister Giriraj Singh, who has accused West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of doing exactly the same. According to Singh, Hindus are not safe under Banerjee’s rule, and her appeasement politics is a major reason for this.
Singh’s comments came after Banerjee paid a visit to riot-hit Murshidabad, where she was seen interacting with the local residents and assuring them of the government’s support. However, Singh was not impressed with Banerjee’s visit and instead criticized her for her alleged appeasement politics. “She is the same Mamata Banerjee who had said that no one can expel any Bangladeshi in her presence…(In Murshidabad),” Singh said, adding that Banerjee’s words were a clear indication of her willingness to appease a particular section of the society.
Singh’s comments have sparked a controversy, with several leaders and activists coming out in support of Banerjee. However, Singh’s remarks are not without basis, given the recent incidents of violence and communal tensions in West Bengal. The state has seen a rise in communal violence in recent years, with several incidents of rioting, vandalism, and even murder reported.
One of the most infamous incidents was the recent communal clash in West Bengal’s North 24 Parganas district, where a Hindu family was attacked by a group of Muslims. The incident sparked widespread outrage, with many calling for immediate action to be taken against the perpetrators. However, the incident also highlighted the lack of effective action taken by the government to prevent such incidents.
Another incident that has raised concerns is the recent influx of Bangladeshis into West Bengal. While Banerjee has denied allegations of her government providing shelter to Bangladeshis, there have been reports of illegal immigrants being given shelter and even offered jobs. This has sparked concerns about the security and identity of Indian citizens, and has led to widespread protests and agitations.
Singh’s comments about Banerjee’s appeasement politics are also backed by several other leaders and activists. “Banerjee’s government has been indulging in appeasement politics, and it is affecting the Hindus in the state,” says Tapan Ghosh, the founder of the Hindu Samhati organization. “She is more concerned about her Muslim voters than the welfare of the Hindus in the state.”
Ghosh’s organization has been at the forefront of several protests and agitations against Banerjee’s government, and has accused her of being soft on Islamic fundamentalism. “Banerjee is allowing Islamic fundamentalism to spread in the state, and it is affecting the Hindus,” says Ghosh. “She is not taking adequate measures to prevent communal violence, and is instead indulging in appeasement politics.”
Singh’s comments have also been supported by several other leaders and activists, who have accused Banerjee of being biased towards a particular community. “Banerjee’s government has been indulging in vote bank politics, and it is affecting the Hindus in the state,” says Rahul Sinha, the national secretary of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). “She is more concerned about her Muslim voters than the welfare of the Hindus in the state.”
The BJP has been critical of Banerjee’s government, and has accused her of being soft on Islamic fundamentalism. “Banerjee’s government has been indulging in appeasement politics, and it is affecting the Hindus in the state,” says Sinha. “She is not taking adequate measures to prevent communal violence, and is instead indulging in vote bank politics.”
In conclusion, Giriraj Singh’s comments about Hindus not being safe under Mamata Banerjee’s rule are not without basis. The recent incidents of violence and communal tensions in West Bengal, as well as the alleged appeasement politics of Banerjee’s government, have raised concerns about the security and identity of Indian citizens. It is high time that the government takes adequate measures to prevent such incidents and ensures the safety and security of all its citizens.
