BJP’s Birbhum District President Dhubro Saha said, “From where Riazul got his gun should be investigated. He is a former leader of TMC and is close to the State’s Deputy Speaker. What is the message being conveyed here ? Is Taliban rule being promoted here ? Does he want to make the future generation jihadi ?

Editorial Viewpoints

• Riazul Haque’s mentality needs to be noted for gifting an AK-47 rifle to his wife, whether it is real or not is another matter. What message such leaders are trying to convey to their Muslim brethren ?

• The pro-Muslim Trinamool Congress (TMC) is unlikely to take any action.

• Hindus from Bengal need to be alert after this incident, since they should seriously start thinking about their future in that State.
