'Murshidabad violence pre-planned': Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee meets Imams amid Waqf protests

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee addressed the unrest in Murshidabad during a meeting with Imams, countering BJP allegations of TMC’s involvement in Waqf-related violence, which she described as pre-planned. She criticized the central government for its handling of the situation and accused “godi media” of spreading misinformation while questioning their focus on Bengal amidst rising prices and unemployment. In response, BJP leaders condemned the Mamata government for the perceived targeting of the Hindu community amid the violence, calling it inhumane and politically motivated.
