Financial Express Kolkata
|April 13, 2025
THE WAQF (AMENDMENT) Act will not be implemented in West Bengal, chief minister Mamata Banerjee said on Saturday amid violent protests in the state, particularly in the Muslim-majority Murshidabad district.
So far, 118 people have been arrested in connection with the violence that broke out in the district on Friday, according to police. "Remember, we did not make the law over which many are agitated. The law was made by the central government. So the answer you want should be sought from the central government," the CM said in a post on X.
"We have made our position clear on this matter — we do not support this law. This law will not be implemented in our state. So what is the riot about?" she asked.
