New Delhi. VHP has welcomed the Calcutta High Court’s order for NIA probe into the violent attacks on Ram Navami processions in Bengal. VHP Central Joint General Secretary Dr. Surendra Jain said that it has become clear that the attacks on Ram Navami processions were not a reaction but a planned one. Stoking of stones and petrol from petrol pumps in mosques and houses of Muslims society, violent mobs coming out of Muslim settlements with weapons, deadly attacks on Hindus, setting houses, shops on fire and vandalizing vehicles cannot happen spontaneously. These were done in a planned and deliberate manner. This is nothing less than a terrorist incident. That’s why it is necessary to have a comprehensive investigation into the people who planned it, from where the weapons were brought, who all were involved, which only the NIA can do. The Bengal Police has become a puppet in the hands of the rioters. He demanded that the role of Mamta Banerjee and her party should also be investigated in these attacks on Hindu society.
He said that the incident may have been done by anyone but its inspiration was certainly given by the Chief Minister, such a belief has been created in the entire country. The kind of threats she issued to the ever-suffering Hindu society in Bengal on the eve of Ramanavami, emboldened the attackers and incited them to carry out violent attacks. The role of police in these attacks is of grave concern. Unfortunately. The police, that is duty bound to protect the victims, not only did not come to protect the victims, but also, instead of arresting the rioters, framed the people who were being targeted by the rioters. It was with great difficulty that some of them have been able to get bail.
Dr. Surendra Jain said that this whole scene is reminiscent of the “Great Kolkata Killings” when Muslim mobs used to attack and massacre Hindus, and the police there either followed by Suhrawardy’s instructions or sided with the rioters.
He hoped that NIA’s investigation would separate the milk from the water, and the culprits would be caught and punished. We expect the NIA to also investigate the role of Mamata Banerjee in these riots.
The Joint General Secretary of VHP also said that at present all the three ‘Ma’ ‘Mati’ & ‘Manush’ are the target of Islamic Jihadis in Bengal. Mamta Banerjee should keep in mind that she should not allow atrocities on Hindu society just to keep her vote bank intact. Her duty is to ensure protection of society, not to don the role of Suhrawardy. The entire Hindu society of Bengal expects her to discharge her responsibilities and not lead Bengal towards ruin. If she sincerely wants to make Bengal in to ‘Sonar Bangla’, she will have to take all sections of the society along.
