BJP Reacts to the Shocking Incident
The BJP has strongly condemned the incident, with party leaders expressing their outrage on social media and in statements. Amit Malviya, BJP IT cell in-charge, criticized the TMC and questioned their silence on the issue. He took to X (formerly Twitter), stating, “The newly minted, self-styled saviours of India’s #Constitution haven’t spoken a word on the ghastly subversion of it in Bengal, where criminals are dispensing instant justice through ‘insaf sabhas’, in accordance with Sharia laws, in gross violation of all Constitutional norms…”
BJP national president JP Nadda also spoke out, saying, “A horrific video has come to light from West Bengal, reminding of the brutalities that exist only in theocracies. To make matters worse, the TMC cadre and MLAs are justifying the act. Be it Sandeshkhali, Uttar Dinajpur or many other places, Didi’s West Bengal is UNSAFE for women.”
Dr. Sukanta Majumdar, a BJP leader in West Bengal, shared the video and expressed his concern, stating, “Statements from TMC’s Hamidul Rahaman referring to a ‘Muslim Rashtra’ and discussing punishments under ‘certain rules’ are deeply concerning. Is TMC declaring West Bengal a state where Sharia law will be applied?”
This tragedy has spurred discussions about safety and justice in West Bengal in addition to bringing attention to problems with law and order.
