Kolkata, Oct 29 (IANS) The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday launched a scathing attack on the West Bengal government and the Trinamool Congress over the alleged incident of breaking of statues and beheading of Goddess Jagatdhatri at Mandirbazaar in Diamond Harbor Lok Sabha constituency in South 24 Parganas district, claiming that the state government has become a “hub of Bangladesh-style fundamentalism” under Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress rule.
BJP’s information technology cell chief and party’s central observer for West Bengal Amit Malviya shared a video on his official social media account about the incident, which reportedly took place on Tuesday night.
“Mamata Banerjee’s Bengal has become the epicenter of Bangladesh-style fundamentalism! From branding Hinduism as “Ganda Dharma” to remaining silent on the desecration of idols, the modern-day Suhrawardy, Mamata Banerjee, has turned West Bengal into a nightmare for Sanatanis. Last night in the temple market of Diamond Harbor, statues of Maa Jagaddhatri were vandalized, beheaded, faith desecrated. On Hindu faith This monstrous attack is based on Mamata’s government’s blatant Muslim appeasement and police collusion,” Malviya said on his official X account.
In his social media post, Malviya had also claimed that the alleged incident was not actually a shocking incident, noting that “the number of Muslim voters in Diamond Harbor – where this tragic incident took place – has increased and now stands at 41 per cent since 2002”.
According to the BJP leader, this incident is not a coincidence but the result of deliberate demographic engineering to promote Islamist-style radicalism.
“If Mamata’s anti-Hindu regime is not voted out, Bengal’s eternal heritage will be wiped out – and such brazen attacks will never end. Come 2026, the Hindus of Bengal will oust this divisive, anti-Hindu Mamata!” Malviya added.
At the time of filing of the report, neither the Trinamool Congress nor the South 24 Parganas district administration had issued any statement on the matter.
Earlier this month, a similar incident of desecration of the idol of Goddess Kali had taken place in Kakdwip area of South 24 Parganas district.
One person was arrested in connection with the case.
