West Bengal’s political landscape heated up dramatically as the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) launched a scathing attack on Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. Claiming her administration is hell-bent on transforming the state into an extension of Bangladesh, VHP vowed that this dangerous ambition stands no chance of fruition.
Speaking at a massive rally in Howrah, VHP working president Alok Kumar charged that years of appeasement politics have led to a surge in illegal Bangladeshi settlers. ‘Under Mamata’s rule, Bengal’s borders have become porous. Hindu exodus is real, temples are under threat, and the state’s soul is at stake. We will not allow Bengal to be gifted to Bangladesh on a platter,’ Kumar thundered to thunderous applause.
He referenced data from various surveys showing shifts in population demographics, particularly in border areas like Murshidabad and Malda. VHP plans to submit a memorandum to the Governor, demanding immediate deportation drives and stricter border vigilance. ‘The time for silence is over. Every Hindu must rise to safeguard our motherland,’ he emphasized.
Opposition parties like BJP have echoed these sentiments, amplifying the pressure on TMC. Meanwhile, Mamata’s allies accuse VHP of stoking hatred for electoral gains. With elections on the horizon, this confrontation underscores deep divisions over identity, security, and governance in West Bengal.
The VHP’s aggressive posture marks a pivotal moment, potentially reshaping alliances and voter sentiments in the coming months.
