violence in West Bengal

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had earlier insinuated that violence occurs when Hindus take out Ram Navami processions through ‘Muslim areas’ and also attempted to give a clean chit to the Islamists by invoking their Faith and Ramzan.

On March 30, stones were pelted on a Ram Navami procession from the terraces of the buildings in the Shibpur area of Howrah.

The raids are being conducted in connection with the Ekbalpore-Mominpur clashes that occurred in the state on October 9 last year

The Mominpore violence reflects the larger malaise ailing West Bengal, where instances of anti-Hindu violence have shockingly become par for the course.

Secretary of Durgal Pandal committee told OpIndia that Islamists had deliberately placed their flag to stoke unrest.

"The window was broken and glass was scattered all over the bed. The pelted bricks were lying all over the place," another Hindu victim said.

A local journalist told OpIndia that Hindus were targeted by Islamists because they refused to dismantle Durga Puja pandals.
