Kolkata (Bengal) – A report of the fact-finding Committee of the Human Rights Commission has held Mamata Banerjee’s Government responsible for the riots at Howrah and Hoogly during the Shriramnavami celebrations. Justice Narasimhan former Judge of the Patna High Court and his 6-member committee have stated this in a report. ‘These riots were planned and then they were systematically carried out. The Police were mute spectators. This is suspicious’ report added. Kolkata High Courts Chief Justice T. S. Sivagnanam had earlier said that the riots were pre-planned. He also drew attention to the fact he mentioned ‘If the stones have been thrown from the rooftops, then definitely the stones could not have been taken there in 10 to 15 minutes’.

Some points are mentioned in the Fact-finding Committee’s report –

1. The Provoking speech given by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee a day before Ramnavami was responsible for the violence in Bengal. In her speech, Mamata Banerjee warned that ‘if the Ramnavami procession is taken through Muslim areas action will be taken.’ So, when the procession passed through Muslim localities they were attacked, and the Police just melted away from there.

2. After the violence Mamata Banerjee held the Hindus responsible for it by alleging that the devotees changed the route at the last moment. But the Fact-Finding Committee refuted this. The Committee clarified that the Hindus had given this route right at the beginning and also that the Police had given them permission for it.

3. Because of last year’s attack on the procession, this year the Hindus asked for extra Police protection. But the Police did not provide this extra Police Protection. Hence, the procession was attacked. From this, it can be realised that the Police knowingly did not take action against the rioters.

4. After the Ramnavami incident Mamata Banerjee began to blame the Hindus. She said that ‘In the Month of Ramzan Muslims will not do any bad deed’. This encouraged the rioting Muslims and the violence continued for the next few days. Mamata Banerjee’s hateful statements provoked the people. Hence, the riots were not or could not be stopped.

5. BJP MLA Ghosh was wounded despite having CRPF protection. This makes the State Police’s motive clear. Because of the biased attitude of the State Government and the State Police, the Hindu victims were fearful and did not go to the Police to ask for help or complain. The Police instead of helping were threatening to entrap them in false cases. The people of Bengal are compelled to live under the fear of the Goons of the State Government machinery.

6. Police officers are busy pleasing the Government. Chandan Nagar Police Commissioner Amit Javalgi and Howrah Police Commissioner Pravin Tripathi did not give permission to the Fact-finding Committee to tour the riot-affected area. The Committee still went to meet the riot victims the members were stopped by the Police. Police did not accept a complaint by a seriously injured hospitalised Hindu patient. The Hindus called the Police for help during the riots, but the Police did not pick up the phone. The Muslims were rioting in a place adjacent to the Police Station.

The Conclusions of the Fact Finding Committee

1. The rioters had the backing of the State Government

2. The Police were aware of the procession’s route. The Police did not give security to this year’s procession despite being aware that the previous year there were riots.

3. The State Police are inspired by political benefit

The Committee’s Demands

1. Cases registered and action to be taken against the culprits

2. An unbiased inquiry into the riots.

3. Protection to be given to the victims who are living in fear.

4. Withdraw the false cases filed against the innocent victims.

5. CRPF to be posted in the riot-affected areas as the people have little faith in the Police.

Editorial viewpoint

If such riots had happened in BJP ruled State the pseudo-Secularist and the Liberal Political Parties would have by now raised their voices and cried themselves hoarse. Please note that as Hindus have been attacked and as Mamata Banerjee’s Government backs fanatical Muslims, they are silent !
