MURSHIDABAD: West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday claimed that last month's violence in Murshidabad was orchestrated and, well planned. She hit out at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and said that West Bengal would not tolerate people who instigate riots.
The chief minister visited Murshidabad on Monday to take stock of the situation.
"When I carry out any political activity, for me Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Christian all are equal. I don't want people of any religion to get attacked. Within one day of the incident the National Commission for Women arrived here. They did not go to Manipur, UP or Rajasthan. This incident has been orchestrated and it was well planned. Those who have provoked this violence, Bengal will not tolerate such people. I am not against anyone but I am against riots. Why are they so much perturbed over Jagannath Dham? In Odisha, Maharashtra people are being beaten up for speaking Bengali."
