Fanatic Muslims pelt stones at Hindus on Ramnavami in Bengal

Mamata Banerjee holds Hindus responsible for the riots

Howrah (Bengal) – Hindus took out processions at various places in the evening of Ramnavami, 30th March. Fanatic Muslims pelted stones and started arson in the Shibpur area of Howrah. Fanatic Muslims attacked the procession in Shibpur, alleging that Hindus were raising objectionable slogans during the procession which led to the flare-up. Meanwhile, the Hindus said that the attack was pre-planned.

On 31st March too, stones were pelted at the houses of Hindus. Fanatic Muslims rioted in the presence of the Police and Paramilitary forces on both the days. They even set Police vehicles on fire. Instead of stopping the rioters, the Police remained mute spectators. Videos of the incidents went viral on social media.

  • Mamata Banerjee holds Hindus responsible for the riots !
  • She claimed that she had already warned the Hindus to avoid processions in Muslim-dominated areas !
Editorial viewpoints

  • The Government is expected to maintain law and order in the State and Mamata Banerjee knew about the likely attacks on Hindus in Muslim-dominated areas. Then why did she not take necessary action against the fanatics in advance ?
  • Does the Indian Constitution say that Hindus should not take out processions through Muslim-dominated areas ? Is this India or Bangladesh ?
  • Hindus need to realise the need to establish the ‘Hindu Rashtra’ since their existence will be destroyed if the Muslim population grows in the States, Districts, villages, cities, and later in the country since ‘secular’ rulers will never provide protection to Hindus !

Mamata claims she had warned Hindus to avoid taking out processions in Muslim-dominated areas

Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had warned a day before Ramnavami that strict action would be taken if Hindus carried weapons on the occasion of Ramnavami and attacked Muslim areas. In response to the ensuing riots, Mamata Banerjee said, “My eyes and ears are open. I can see everything. I told them earlier about the likelihood of such incidents. I had warned them to avoid processions through Muslim-dominated areas, as such processions will lead to violence. This is the month of Ramzan; therefore, Muslims cannot do any wrong. Those who are involved in the violence, will not be spared. I am giving orders to the Police to take action against people involved in the violence”. Hindus are infuriated since rioting Muslims are protected and innocent Shriram devotees are being held responsible.

Mamata Banerjee should have arranged for security ! – BJP

BJP reacted to the violence that ten thousand processions were to be taken out in the State on the occasion of Ramnavami; therefore, she, as the State Chief Minister and Home Minister, should have arranged for proper security, but she was busy holding a Dharna.

Editorial viewpoint

How do people who fast during Ramzan riot and pelt stones at the religious processions of Hindus ? Note that the so-called secularists and progressive factions never ask Muslims about this ! Considering the law & order problems in Bengal, there is no alternative but to impose President’s Rule in Bengal so as to protect Hindus.
