Excerpts from the interview:
The state, in its report back to the courtroom, acknowledged that the Bengal violence was a large-scale assault…
Thank God, at the least the police have admitted that one thing truly occurred. However the devastation is much worse than folks assume. This was nothing wanting a bloodbath. Temples have been desecrated. I wish to know what these victims needed to do with the Waqf Invoice. In the present day, they’re homeless and residing in reduction camps. Bengal is dealing with certainly one of its worst crises.
The report says the state requested the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF), whereas the Chief Minister blames the Border Safety Drive (BSF). What do you make of that?
She has nothing else to say. If she claims the BSF has failed, then who was subsequent in line — the police? And what did the police do? Nothing. Have been they asleep?
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee calls it a pre-planned communal riot. Your response?
Then ask her — deliberate by whom? Why would Amit Shah orchestrate this? Why isn’t this taking place elsewhere? We’re not in opposition to the Waqf. All this violence is definitely concentrating on the Waqf. There’s a larger conspiracy right here.
Critics say the BJP is making an attempt to polarise voters to return to energy.
We don’t wish to come to energy by means of polarisation. They’re those who stop folks from voting. We would like a good election, nothing else. We condemn violence and don’t wish to achieve energy by means of it.
BJP’s Suvendu Adhikari has referred to as Mamata Banerjee anti-national. Your take?
The BSF has protected us. Criticising them is anti-national. It’s a really unlucky state of affairs.
Individuals are displaced and residing in camps. What would you say to them?
I’ve stated it earlier than — what’s their fault? Their properties have been set on fireplace. These folks by no means begged earlier than; at the moment they’re compelled to. Do they deserve this?
Do you help the imposition of President’s Rule?
If issues proceed this manner, we are going to request the Residence Minister to impose President’s Rule. We demand elections underneath army supervision. From the day elections are introduced, there ought to be full army oversight.
You latterly stated Hindus will probably be compelled to depart if the BJP doesn’t come to energy…
That was a warning sign. The Waqf Invoice isn’t just a home challenge — it has exterior influences. There may be extra to it. Sleeper cells could be energetic. There’s a bigger agenda behind this.
Does this example pose a risk to nationwide safety?
Completely. It’s very alarming. That’s all I can say for now.
What’s the answer, in your opinion?
If the Chief Minister genuinely desires to revive peace, the scenario can change in a day.
The Governor and Nationwide Fee for Girls (NCW) have expressed curiosity in visiting affected areas. The CM says this isn’t the time. Your view?
That is precisely the time when such visits are wanted. The Governor ought to have gone earlier. Folks have to really feel supported.
Will you go to the affected areas?
I’m able to go tomorrow, however they received’t permit me.
Any message for the displaced folks?
Keep united. Don’t abandon your properties — that’s your land. If you happen to need assistance, we’re right here for you.
