Mamata Banerjee

The legal impasse regarding OBC commenced when the Calcutta HC annulled 1.2 million OBC certificates in May 2024.

The high-handedness of the Mamata-run administration did not stop at merely rationalising the arrest of the 22-year-old college girl or ignoring the objectionable posts made by Wazahat Khan. The TMC ecosystem went ahead and painted a target on the head of Sharmihsta Panoli, who was already being hounded by an online Muslim lynch mob.

The incident lays bare the West Bengal government's unwavering commitment to appeasing its core vote bank, even if it means trampling upon the very principles enshrined in the Constitution.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has denied media reports claiming that the party is visiting house to house to distribute sindoor (vermilion).

Interestingly, the West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and finance minister Chandrima Bhattacharya boycotted the recently-held meeting of Niti Aayog “as a mark of protest against the deprivation of Bengal”.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a scathing attack on Mamata Banerjee government on Thursday and said West Bengal needs freedom from "politics of violence, appeasement, riots and corruption" and that the people are looking towards "BJP's development model".

The TMC leaders met Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah as visited the residence of National Conference leader Farooq Abdullah. The TMC delegation met the family of retired army officer Amarjeet Singh who was killed in Pakistani shelling on 8th May.

While only Hindus are allowed inside the Puri Jagannath temple in Odisha and rightly so as the temple belongs to the Hindu deity Lord Jagannath, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, it is being said that people of all faiths will be allowed inside the Digha Jagannath temple.

"BJP carried out this attack to divert the public from the new Waqf law," Marjina Khatun alleged.

The leftist media downplayed the communal violence in Murshidabad as a minor incident unrelated to the express targeting of Hindus.
