BJP claims Hindus attacked at Ram Navami procession in Kolkata, cops react

BJP MP Sukanta Majumdar on Sunday claimed that a Ram Navami rally was attacked in Kolkata's Park Circus Seven Point area, with the police clarifying that no permission was taken for any procession. In a post on X, Mr Majumdar, who represents West Bengal's Balurghat in Lok Sabha, alleged that "stones were rained down on vehicles just for carrying saffron flags".

"Windshields shattered. Chaos unleashed. This wasn't random - it was targeted violence. And where was the police? Right there. Watching. Silent. Spineless. The very force handpicked by (West Bengal Chief Minister) Mamata Banerjee - completely paralyzed by her politics of appeasement. Not one step taken to protect innocent Hindus," he said and tagged videos of damaged vehicles.

"This cowardly inaction proves ONE thing: the roar of united Bengali Hindus during Ram Navami has shaken the system. Mamata's pampered "Shanti Vahini" isn't peaceful - they're panicked. Rattled. Terrified," he added.
