West Bengal: Communal riots break out in North 24 Parganas after controversial Facebook post
SAM Staff, July 5, 2017

The Ministry of Home Affairs on Tuesday sent three battalions of paramilitary personnel to West Bengal’s North 24 Parganas district after the state government asked for help in the wake of communal clashes. Violence erupted on Monday in Baduria town in Basirhat sub-division of the district over an allegedly “objectionable” post on Facebook, reported PTI. The police have arrested the Hindu man who posted the message.

Deputy Inspector General of the Border Security Force RPS Jaswal confirmed late Tuesday evening that four companies of the BSF – about 360 personnel – were on their way to Baduria. Jaswal said the personnel are expected to reach the areas affected by the disturbances late on Tuesday.

A top West Bengal police official, who did not wish to be identified, said the situation in Baduria remains tense. The vehicle of the superintendent of police was attacked while he was travelling towards Baduria on Tuesday evening, leaving him with minor injuries.

The Hindustan Times reported that shops and homes of Hindus in Baduria, Swarupnagar and Taki blocks of the district bordering Bangladesh were set afire by Muslim mobs.

A doctor whose clinic is close to the restive areas said how a vast area surrounding Baduria was virtually shut down and the entry and exit of vehicles and people were barred. Bands of youngsters were setting public property on fire and looting shops and houses, he claimed.

The doctor said that while travelling from Machlandapur to a nearby village on Monday afternoon, he encountered two blockades where a Muslim mob allowed him to move only after verifying that he was on an emergency medical call. However, at a third blockade at Jadurhati, the mob was unrelenting and some of them pounced on the ambulance van and smashed its wind screen. The van driver managed to wriggle out with great difficulty, the doctor said.

Should shoot a few of these fascist scum. Being an extremist has to be made costly, in human terms.
