Bharatiya Janata Party leader Suvendu Adhikari claimed on Sunday that more than 400 Hindus have been “forced to flee” their houses from Dhulian in West Bengal's Murshidabad district following a violence over the Waqf law that allegedly left three people dead.
“More than 400 Hindus from Dhulian, Murshidabad driven by fear of religiously driven bigots were forced to flee across the river & take shelter at Par Lalpur High School, Deonapur-Sovapur GP, Baisnabnagar, Malda,” Adhikari wrote in a post on X.
Adhikari also shared pictures and videos of the people being interviewed.
One person in the video shared by Adhikari claimed that his house had been burnt down, and that the police officials did not do anything to help, simply fled the scene.
He further urged the Border Security Force or BSF deployed in the area, along with district and state police to ensure the safe return of the people.
"I urge the Central Paramilitary Forces deployed in the District, the State Police and the district administration to ensure the safe return of these displaced Hindus & protect their lives from this jihadist terror. Bengal is burning. The social fabric is torn. Enough is enough," his post read.
Three people were allegedly killed on Friday night in Murshidabad in the aftermath of mob violence against the Waqf (Amendment) Act in the district, West Bengal Police said. Several vehicles were also torched, and as per police, the situation is now under control.
