Kolkata:
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Saturday mentioned that Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and the BJP are accountable for “instigating communal violence” within the state.
“RSS and BJP are the ones who are instigating communal violence in West Bengal. People of the state should be extremely careful not to get trapped in their provocations. BJP and its allies have suddenly become very aggressive in West Bengal. These allies include RSS. These forces are using the backdrop of an unfortunate incident that happened due to provocation. They are using the backdrop to play divisive politics,” mentioned the Chief Minister in her open letter.
The Chief Minister added that they (RSS-BJP) need to “incite” riots, which might have an effect on everybody.
“We love all. We want to stay together. We condemn riots. We are against riots. They (RSS-BJP) want to divide us for narrow electoral politics,” she mentioned.
She additionally appealed to everybody to stay calm, including that she condemns communal riots, which should be curbed.
“The criminals behind the riots are being strongly dealt with. But, simultaneously, we must avoid mutual mistrust and distrust. The majority and the minority communities must work together and take care of each other,” she mentioned.
The Chief Minister added that for sustaining regulation and order and for saving human lives and dignity, the state authorities have taken robust actions.
“Two police officers-in-charge have been removed. And the police are investigating the case. Further actions will be taken,” the Chief Minister mentioned.
