IIE DIGITAL DESK :Powerful display of support for the victims of the recent Murshidabad clashes, BJP leader Sukanta Majumdar met with individuals from the Beldanga region, who had experienced significant trauma due to the violent unrest. The clashes, which occurred in mid-November 2024, left several homes and businesses destroyed, leading to an atmosphere of fear and insecurity among the local population.

During his visit, Majumdar took time to listen to the heartbreaking stories of the victims. Many survivors described scenes of chaos, where they were either forced to flee their homes or witnessed their properties being looted and set on fire. One of the victims recounted how a mob attacked their house in the dead of night, destroying everything in its path. Another victim shared how their family had to take shelter in nearby fields, fearing for their lives as the violence raged.

Majumdar expressed his deep concern over the lack of state intervention, stating that the local authorities had failed to act promptly to stop the violence.
