Violence erupted in West Bengal’s Murshidabad on Tuesday during a protest against the Waqf Act. Clashes broke out between demonstrators and police when authorities tried to stop them from blocking a major road. Several vehicles, including a police van, were torched and stones hurled in the chaos. BJP leader Amit Malviya accused CM Mamata Banerjee of enabling the unrest, blaming her “Muslim appeasement” and “inflammatory speeches.” He claimed internet services in Jangipur were throttled and highlighted past communal tensions during Kartik Puja. Authorities are monitoring the situation amid rising political blame and community tensions in the region. (PC: India Today)
