Madhya Pradesh CM criticizes Mamata Banerjee over Murshidabad violence, accuses Congress of vote bank politics.
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Wednesday (April 9, 2025) targeted his West Bengal counterpart Mamata Banerjee over violence in Murshidabad, wondering why fire is raging in the backyard of those people who had opposed amendments to the Waqf Act.
Violence erupted in Murshidabad following protests over the Waqf (Amendment) Act on Tuesday (April 8, 2025.)
"The truth has been revealed. Why is the fire burning in (areas) of those who had opposed the changes in the Waqf Act?" Mr. Yadav said when reporters sought his comment on the West Bengal situation.
Mr. Yadav said the Waqf Act was amended by the Central Government for the rights of poor Muslims, however, the Congress hatched a conspiracy over this amendment for "vote bank politics" which is exposed.
"I hope the leaders of the Congress, Mamata Banerjee, and their allies will apologise. I hope they will understand the spirit of change in the Waqf law and ensure justice for the poor and weaker sections of Muslims," he said.
