KOLKATA: Union Minister and West Bengal BJP President Sukanta Majumdar on Sunday lashed out at Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee over the recent violence in Murshidabad district, saying that if the BJP forms the government in the state, strict action will be taken against the perpetrators.”The situation has improved a bit (in Murshidabad) after the deployment of central forces, but the situation is still not such that Hindus can live freely with their heads held high. People who fled from the Murshidabad district and went to Malda as refugees are still not ready to return,” Majumdar said.He further alleged that Mamata Banerjee has succeeded in turning West Bengal into a “light version of Bangladesh.””Hindus of Bengal have understood that Mamata Banerjee has succeeded in making West Bengal a light version of Bangladesh,” he said.Majumdar thanked the special bench of the Calcutta High Court for ordering the deployment of central forces in Murshidabad, which he said helped bring the situation under some control.He also urged the Hindu community to unite and fight democratically in the upcoming Assembly elections to prevent West Bengal from becoming “like Bangladesh.””Hindus will have to unite and fight democratically. We promise that after the BJP government is formed, the BJP government and the police will take action against those who carry out such incidents. We will bring such a law that the rioters who destroy the temples and houses of Hindus will be made to compensate for the loss, their houses will be auctioned and that amount will be given to the Hindus. If someone instigates violence from a religious place, that place will be closed. If the present government makes this law, our MLAs will support it,” he further said.
