Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Kunal Ghosh on Sunday alleged that the recent violence in Murshidabad district was not an isolated incident but part of a broader conspiracy involving select political parties, elements within Central agencies, and a section of the Border Security Force (BSF).
Speaking to ANI, Ghosh said, “We are receiving some inputs that there was a larger conspiracy behind those incidents (Murshidabad violence). Some sections of Central agencies, a section of BSF and a section of two or three political parties were involved in this conspiracy. With the help of a part of BSF, there was a gap in the border.”
He further stated that miscreants infiltrated the area, incited violence, and were later allowed to leave safely.
“Some miscreants entered, created chaos and were given safe passage to return. I use the words ‘border’ and ‘with the help of a section of BSF’; whether it is true or not, there is a need for proper investigation. The local people are not finding any known faces. Who are the masterminds? Police are taking some steps against some people. But from where did the main masterminds come from and where did they go?” he asked.
Ghosh accused the BJP of attempting to politicise the unrest by sharing misleading images on social media platforms.
“There is an allegation that with the help of BSF, there is a deep-rooted conspiracy to malign West Bengal and create some sins in those areas. So that the BJP and the Opposition can use those sins for their political gains. BJP has no issue here. You see in the post of BJP, they have used some pictures. We have pointed out most of the pictures are from other states, and they are using it as Murshidabad,” he claimed.
The TMC leader maintained that the ruling party, under the leadership of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, was committed to upholding peace.
“They are trying their best to provoke the people of Bengal, but under the leadership of Mamata Banerjee, our state government and our party are trying our best to fight out the conspiracy and keep it normal,” Ghosh added.
Responding to the developments, Union Minister and West Bengal BJP President Sukanta Majumdar condemned the TMC government for its handling of the unrest. He praised the Calcutta High Court for ordering the deployment of Central forces in the affected areas.
Majumdar warned that if the BJP came to power in West Bengal, it would act firmly against those responsible for the violence. He also issued a call to the Hindu community to remain united and vote strategically in the upcoming Assembly elections.
“If the BJP forms the government in the state, strict action will be taken against the perpetrators,” Majumdar stated, adding that the deployment of Central forces had “helped bring the situation under some control.”
He further remarked that the state risked becoming “like Bangladesh” if the current regime continued unchecked.
According to the police, three individuals lost their lives in the violence that erupted during protests against the Waqf (Amendment) Act 2025.
The West Bengal Police reported that 150 people have been arrested in connection with the disturbances. Additional forces have been deployed in Samserganj, Dhuliyan, Suti and other sensitive areas to maintain order.
