The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), on Wednesday, accused West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of inaction, claiming that Hindus are being subjected to targeted attacks in the state, while the police gave rioters a "free" rein

The state has witnessed multiple incidents of violence, including the protests against the Waqf (Amendment) Act, leading to the migration of riot-hit people, mainly in the Murshidabad district.
