Will protect minorities, their properties in West Bengal, assures CM Mamata
The Political and Business Daily
|April 10, 2025
WEST Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday said minorities were aggrieved because of the enactment of the Waqf (Amendment) Act and assured the minority community members that she would protect them and their properties in the state.

Addressing a programme of the Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind here, Banerjee asserted that she will not allow anyone to divide and rule to persist in Bengal.
Speaking in the after-math of protests against the newly enacted Waqf (Amendment) Act which triggered large-scale vio-lence in Murshidabad dis-trict bordering Bangladesh on Tuesday, the chief minis-ter said: "I know you are aggrieved because of the enactment of the Waqf Act. Have faith, nothing will happen in Bengal by which one can divide and rule. You send out a message that all have to stay together. Jio aur jiney do (live and let live). You don't need to feel rattled."
