BJP stages protest over atrocities against party in West Bengal

Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaMay 5, 2021

BJP in Meghalaya on Wednesday organized a protest against the alleged atrocities committed by TMC ‘terrorists’ against the party supporters in West Bengal.

The protest was led by BJP state president Ernest Mawrie in Shillong.

“Almost 2.28 Crore people and citizens of India voted for the BJP in the recently concluded assembly elections in West Bengal. However, and shocking so, as soon as results were announced and it became clear that the TMC would be forming the next government there, TMC gundas with the support and protection of state machinery began an onslaught against BJP karyakartas. Party offices are being burnt, and karayakartas and supporters are being fatally beaten up even as we write this report,” Mawrie said.

Expressing solidarity with the BJP family of West Bengal, he said, “We also strongly demand that President’s Rule should be immediately imposed in that state so as to bring the law and order under control and protect the people from the brutal dictatorship of the present dispensation. We have also expressed our shock at the complete absence of other political parties in raising their voice against the atrocities in West Bengal.”

He said these parties, who took to the streets at the drop of a hat in states that are governed by BJP, are maintaining a sinister silence. It seems like they affirm to the brutal and inhuman treatment being met out to BJP workers in West Bengal.

“We condemn the action (or inaction) of the TMC government and the silence of other political parties in the strongest words. President’s Rule is the only way of saving Indians in West Bengal,” he added
