BJP leader and Co-incharge of the party's West Bengal unit, Amit Malviya, likening West Bengal to Bangladesh, has accused the Mamata Banerjee-led government of fostering a climate of communal violence, particularly in Birbhum, after a recent incident in which Hindus were allegedly attacked for celebrating Holi.

Malviya took to the social media platform X, where he wrote, Under the Mamata Banerjee's rule, West Bengal is increasingly resembling Bangladesh.

Hindus were attacked in Birbhum for celebrating Holi, he accused. He said, Yesterday, during the grand celebration of Dol Purnima and Holi in Anaipur village, under Kirnahar police station in the Nanur Assembly constituency, a violent attack took place. "The attack was led by a local Trinamool Panchayat member, where Muslims targeted Hindus for chanting “Jai Shri Ram” and even questioned, how dare you raise this slogan,” he said. 

Shockingly, despite the presence of police, the attacks escalated, and instead of preventing the violence, law enforcement reportedly shielded the attackers. Videos from the incident show Hindus claiming they were assaulted while the police stood by, Malviya pointed out. 

In Anuradha Bhasin v. Union of India, the Supreme Court ruled that indefinite internet restrictions are illegal, and any shutdown must meet the tests of necessity and proportionality.  "Can Home Minister Mamata Banerjee explain what pressing crisis justified suspending internet services during ongoing examinations? Who exactly is engaging in unlawful activities? We will not allow Mamata Banerjee to shred the social fabric of West Bengal for her communal vote bank politics," he asked and concluded his post saying, "She must GO!"
