A “Particular Community” Vandalised Hindu Temple & Shops: Adhikari
A communal clash broke out in South 24 Parganas district of West Bengal, leaving several people injured and shops and a Hindu temple vandalized. The incident has sparked widespread outrage and condemnation from various quarters, with the Leader of the Opposition in West Bengal Assembly and BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari strongly condemning the act of vandalism.
According to reports, a mob belonging to a particular community, as identified by Adhikari, attacked a Hindu temple, houses, and shops in the area, causing significant damage and injuring several people. What is even more disturbing is that the police were present at the scene, but they failed to prevent the vandalism or arrest the perpetrators.
Adhikari took to social media to express his outrage and condemn the incident, stating, “An unruly mob belonging to a particular community vandalised a Hindu temple, houses, and shops, and injured several of them, in the Police’s presence.” He further added, “The police couldn’t block the vandals, despite being present at the spot. This is a blatant disregard for law and order and a clear example of appeasement politics.”
The incident has raised serious concerns about the safety and security of citizens, particularly members of the Hindu community, in the area. It is unacceptable that a mob could carry out such heinous acts in broad daylight, with the police failing to intervene or prevent the violence.
The timing of the incident is also significant, coming as it does ahead of the upcoming elections in the state. The opposition parties have already begun to capitalize on the incident, with Adhikari’s statement being seen as a clear attack on the ruling dispensation. The ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) has, however, denied any involvement in the incident and has called for an investigation into the matter.
The incident has also sparked a heated debate about the issue of communal polarization in West Bengal. The state has a history of communal tensions and violence, and this incident is seen as a clear example of how such tensions can be exploited for political gain.
Adhikari’s statement has been widely shared on social media, with many people expressing their outrage and condemnation of the incident. The hashtag #JusticeForHinduCommunity has been trending on Twitter, with many people calling for the perpetrators to be brought to justice and for the police to take immediate action to prevent such incidents in the future.
The incident is also seen as a clear example of the failures of the West Bengal government in maintaining law and order in the state. The government has been accused of being soft on communal violence and of failing to take action against those responsible for such incidents.
In conclusion, the incident of vandalism and violence in South 24 Parganas district is a clear example of the dangers of communal polarization and the failures of the West Bengal government in maintaining law and order in the state. It is imperative that the government takes immediate action to prevent such incidents in the future and brings the perpetrators to justice.
