Mamata Banerjee claims Ram Navami clash was ‘pre-planned’: ‘DIG of Murshidabad…’
Hindustan TimesKolkata: West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday claimed the Bharatiya Janata Party instigated violence during Ram Navami celebrations in West Bengal's Murshidabad district. The DIG of Murshidabad was removed a day ahead of Ram Navami so that you can carry out violence," Mamata Banerjee was quoted by PTI as saying. Meanwhile, Suvendu Adikhari, the Leader of Opposition in West Bengal, on Thursday, blamed Mamata Banerjee for the clash during Wednesday's procession in Murshidabad. "The Ram Navami processions were disrupted and attacked at various places across West Bengal, due to the CM's provocative speech, which successfully incited miscreants, who were assured that the law enforcement agencies won't act against them as their hands were tied due to CM's public stance on Ram Navami – a day, which according to her, “Is a day for rioting," the Bharatiya Janata Party leader posted on X. Suvendu Adhikari was referring to Mamata Banerjee's recent remark at a rally.
