Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], July 31 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and the Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the West Bengal Assembly, Suvendu Adhikari, on Thursday welcomed the Calcutta High Court’s decision to extend the deployment of paramilitary forces in violence-hit Murshidabad district for six more weeks.
Speaking to ANI, Suvendu Adhikari said,”Paramilitary forces stay there for six more weeks. My Appeal is that in a few weeks, Hindu festivals are going to commence, and in the riot-hit areas of Murshidabad district, there are not more than 20 per cent Hindus. During the Hindu festivals, the miscreants will again attack the Hindus adn they will create trouble. So the High Court should extend the order further in Dhuliyan and Samseganj.”
In a post on social media platform X, the BJP leader stated, “In the public interest litigation I filed regarding the Murhidabad riots, the Honourable Division Bench of the esteemed Clacutta High Court has permitted the continuation of measures (such as the deployment of central forces, etc.) as per the important orders given previously. Due tot he intervention of the esteemed Calcutta High Court, the lives of many Hindus in the Murshidabad distrct have been saved.”
