West Bengal

Ram Navami celebrations in the country have come under attack in the past couple of days. Several incidents of stone and brick pelting by Islamists on Ram Navami processions and devotees have surfaced in multiple states.

Since 2021, West Bengal has been witnessing a new trend. It appears as if Mamata's open favouritism, preferential treatment and brazen appeasement have fallen short to placate the radical ideas of the Muslim community. As such, there is a growing interest in new and emerging parties whose ideology is 'political Islam.'

Regarding West Bengal, the minister said that during the initial six months, “23,091 existing waqf properties were initiated by Makers on the Portal. Out of these, 716 properties were validated and approved by Approvers, while 161 properties were rejected during verification. The remaining were at various stages of uploading.”
