Waqf Amendment Act will not be implemented in Bengal - Mamata.

 

During this, CM Mamata also clarified the situation regarding the Waqf (Amendment) Act and said that it will not be implemented in Bengal. She said, 'It is wrong to commit violence over this law.

She directed the administration to assess the damage and provide relief as soon as possible. A large number of police forces were deployed in the area given the Chief Minister's security. This visit has come at a time when the tension in the district is still not completely over.

 

Kolkata High Court allowed a demonstration.

Meanwhile, the Kolkata High Court on Tuesday allowed the people of Murshidabad and Malda districts to protest peacefully. This demonstration will be against the violence that took place last month.

Justice Tirthankar Ghosh also ordered that there should be no obstruction in the movement of common people and traffic during the demonstration. The protesters have been allowed to submit a memorandum of their demands to the West Bengal Human Rights Commission officer. Although the protesters initially demanded a sit-in in front of the commission's office, after the court's direction, it was decided to organize it near Central Park in Salt Lake with the consent of all the parties.
