Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], April 16 (ANI): The West Bengal Assembly’s Leader of Opposition, Suvendu Adhikari, has accused the Trinamool Congress (TMC) leaders of orchestrating communal violence in Murshidabad district.
In a video post on X, Adhikari names Md. Inzamul Haque, Chairman of Dhulian Municipality, is the alleged instigator of the recent riots in the region. According to the LoP, Haque “abused his power” and directly led violent attacks, inciting unrest through “provocative and venomous statements.”
The LoP said, “There is clear evidence in the video that this person is involved in the riots. He should be arrested immediately and severely punished for this heinous crime. Why are they being left out?”
