Murshidabad (West Bengal) [India], April 27 (ANI): Leader of the Opposition in the West Bengal Assembly and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Suvendu Adhikari has blamed Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for the 'migration' of Hindu families from Murshidabad.
Adhkari, while speaking to ANI, hit out at the TMC-led West Bengal government over the new Jagannath temple in Digha, saying that Mamata Banerjee is anti-Hindu.
'...Mamata Banerjee is a fake Hindu. Do not mislead Hindu people. The Hindus make Hindu temples. Mamata Banerjee is anti-Hindu. Because of her, the Hindu people of Murshidabad are migrating from here,' Adhikari said.
The remarks were made in reference to the Jagannath Temple in Digha being made by the West Bengal government.
Earlier on April 20, West Bengal Leader of the Opposition and BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari claimed that Hindus are under threat in the state and demanded a National Investigation Agency (NIA) probe into the Murshidabad violence, while holding the state police responsible for the incident and calling it a 'brutal killing'.
Speaking to ANI, Adhikari said, 'We are constantly working to keep our culture and religion alive. Hindus are under threat in West Bengal... We want NIA. The state police is fully responsible for this kind of brutal killing. Everyone here wants NIA to come and take up the case.'
He also criticised Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav for blaming the BJP for the violence. 'Akhilesh Yadav's statement is politically inspired,' Adhikari said. (ANI)
