Overview

  • West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee visited Murshidabad, claiming the situation has stabilized following last month's communal violence that left three dead.
  • Governor CV Ananda Bose's report to the Union Home Ministry warns of rising radicalisation and militancy in border districts, recommending central intervention and invoking Article 356 as an option.
  • Banerjee criticized the Governor's report, labeling it as biased and politically driven, while reiterating her government's commitment to maintaining peace and communal harmony.
  • The Governor's report highlights deficiencies in police infrastructure, calls for permanent CAPF outposts, and raises concerns over cross-border infiltration from Bangladesh.
  • Tensions persist as Banerjee accuses the BJP of exploiting the violence for political gains, while opposition parties demand accountability for the state's handling of the unrest.
