A ‘Particular Community’ Vandalised Hindu Temple & Shops: Adhikari
Tensions have been running high in the South 24 Parganas district of West Bengal after a communal clash broke out, resulting in the vandalization of a Hindu temple, houses, and shops, with several people injured. The incident has sparked widespread outrage, with the Leader of the Opposition in West Bengal Assembly and BJP leader, Suvendu Adhikari, condemning the violence and calling out the police for their failure to intervene.
According to reports, an unruly mob belonging to a particular community, as Adhikari put it, descended upon the area, targeting Hindu properties and personnel. The houses and shops were vandalized, and several people were injured in the violence. The police, who were present at the scene, were unable to stop the vandals, allowing the situation to spiral out of control.
Adhikari took to social media to express his outrage over the incident, stating that “an unruly mob belonging to a particular community vandalized a Hindu temple, houses, and shops, and injured several of them, in the Police’s presence.” He went on to lament the fact that the police seemed powerless to stop the violence, saying that they “couldn’t block the vandals.”
The incident has sent shockwaves through the community, with many calling for immediate action to be taken against those responsible. The vandalization of a place of worship is a grave offense, and the fact that it occurred in the presence of the police makes it all the more egregious.
The South 24 Parganas district has a significant population of Hindus, and the incident has left many feeling vulnerable and scared. The police have launched an investigation into the matter, but many are calling for more to be done to protect the community and prevent such incidents from happening in the future.
The incident is not an isolated one, with communal tensions running high in West Bengal in recent times. The state has seen a surge in incidents of violence and vandalism, often targeting religious minorities. The BJP has been vocal in its condemnation of these incidents, calling for the state government to take immediate action to address the situation.
In response to the latest incident, the BJP has called for the imposition of President’s Rule in West Bengal, citing the state government’s failure to maintain law and order. The party has also demanded that the Centre take immediate action to protect the Hindu community in the state.
The incident has also sparked widespread condemnation on social media, with many calling for peace and harmony to be restored to the affected area. The hashtag #StandWithHindus has been trending on Twitter, with many people expressing their outrage and solidarity with the affected community.
The incident serves as a stark reminder of the need for greater vigilance and action to be taken to prevent such incidents from happening in the future. The police must do more to protect religious minorities and ensure that those responsible for the vandalism are brought to justice.
As Adhikari so eloquently put it, “an unruly mob belonging to a particular community vandalized a Hindu temple, houses, and shops, and injured several of them, in the Police’s presence.” It is high time that the authorities took concrete action to address the situation and ensure that the Hindu community feels safe and protected in West Bengal.
