In yet another shameful and blood-soaked chapter of West Bengal’s descent into lawlessness under Mamata Banerjee’s appeasement-driven regime, the Murshidabad district witnessed horrific communal violence on April 11th, leaving three dead and forcing hundreds of Hindu families to flee for their lives. The spark? So-called “protests” by radical Muslim mobs against the amended Waqf Act, protests that turned into a full-blown anti-Hindu rampage after Jumma Namaz.
While the Trinamool Congress (TMC) and the BJP traded barbs over the law-and-order situation, the ground reality was grim: Hindus were being attacked, their homes torched, shops looted, and their lives shattered—while the ruling party’s top leaders were busy posting lunch photos and sipping tea.
Terror in Dhulian: 400+ Hindus Flee Overnight
Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari confirmed that over 400 Hindu residents of Dhulian, in Murshidabad’s Jangipur subdivision, were forced to abandon their homes and cross the Ganga River to take shelter in a school at Baisnabnagar in Malda district. He posted on X, “Religious persecution in Bengal is real. Appeasement politics of TMC has emboldened radical elements.”
The state BJP president and Union Minister of State, Sukanta Majumdar, also held the TMC squarely responsible. He didn’t mince words when slamming TMC’s Baharampur MP Yusuf Pathan, who was brazenly posting a photo on Instagram sipping tea with the caption: “Easy afternoons, good chai, and calm surroundings.” Majumdar fired back: “Priorities? TMC MP @iamyusufpathan is posting pictures of him sipping tea while Hindus are getting slaughtered in Malda-Murshidabad! This is what happens when imports are fielded to represent Bengalis.”
The fury didn’t stop there. Majumdar also tore into TMC Rajya Sabha MP Derek O’Brien, who thought it was a good time to flaunt his Sunday lunch on social media.
“Bengal is bleeding. But our dynamic ‘Big Talking’ MP @derekobrienmp is busy holding a photoshoot with his lunch. Don’t worry, sir — these refugee Hindus will soon make every day a holiday for you. Permanent one. Courtesy of your silence. Please… eat well, sleep tight. History’s watching.”
What makes this bloodbath even more damning is the fact that Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee was fully aware of Murshidabad’s volatile history of communal flare-ups. The district had already witnessed severe Hindu-Muslim clashes during Ram Navami in April 2024 and again in November the same year—yet she chose to do absolutely nothing to prepare for the fallout from the Waqf Amendment Bill in 2025. With intelligence reports, history, and precedent all pointing to a likely backlash, Mamata still didn’t deploy additional forces, nor did she take preventive action to secure Hindu localities. It’s not a lapse—it’s deliberate political inaction.
This horrifying failure to act isn’t due to oversight—it’s the byproduct of a calculated and dangerous appeasement strategy. Mamata Banerjee has time and again chosen silence over justice, as long as it pleases her core minority vote bank. Her regime has become a safe haven for radical elements, emboldened by the knowledge that no matter what atrocities are unleashed upon Hindus, the state machinery will remain conveniently blind. In her quest to retain Muslim votes, she has sacrificed Bengal’s Hindus to mobs, turned a blind eye to bloodshed, and reduced governance to a communal bargaining tool. This is not just a law-and-order failure—it’s a betrayal of the very people she swore to protect.
