    Waqf Act In Bengal Soon? CM Mamata’s BIG Appeal Amid Murshidabad Violence |

    Violence Over Waqf Bill: As tensions continue to prevail in parts of West Bengal over the Waqf Act, which came into effect earlier this week after getting cleared in Parliament, CM Mamata Banerjee said on Saturday that the act will not be implemented in the state. Banerjee made an appeal to people to maintain peace and calm and said that the law was made by the Centre and answers should be sought from it.

    “My sincere appeal to people of all religions, please remain calm, remain restrained. Do not engage in any irreligious behaviour in the name of religion. Every human life is precious; do not incite riots for the sake of politics. Those who are inciting riots are harming society,” she said in a post on X.

    Several vehicles, including police vans, were set on fire, stones were hurled at security forces, and roads were blocked as violence rocked Malda, Murshidabad, South 24 Parganas, and Hooghly districts during protests over the new legislation on Friday.

    “Remember, we did not make the law over which many are agitated. The law was made by the central government. So the answer you want should be sought from the central government,” the CM said. “We have made our position clear on this matter—we do not support this law. This law will not be implemented in our state. So what is the riot about?” she asked.

    Banerjee said legal action will be taken against those inciting riots. “We do not condone any violent activity. Some political parties are trying to misuse religion for political gain. Do not give in to their persuasion,” she said. “I think religion means humanity, goodwill, civilisation and harmony. I appeal to everyone to maintain peace and harmony,” she added.

    On Tuesday, the Centre notified the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025, which got the assent of President Droupadi Murmu on April 5 after its passage from Parliament following heated debates in both houses. The bill was passed in the Rajya Sabha with 128 members voting in favour and 95 opposing it. It was cleared by the Lok Sabha with 288 members supporting it and 232 against it.
