Recent protests against the Waqf (Amendment) Act have triggered widespread violence across West Bengal, particularly in the Murshidabad district. In connection with the violence, 150 individuals have been arrested by the West Bengal Police. The violence, which has led to multiple deaths, has prompted the Calcutta High Court to intervene, ordering the immediate deployment of central forces to the affected areas. The state government, under pressure from the opposition and public protests, is also facing calls for further action, including a probe by the National Investigation Agency (NIA). Meanwhile, tensions remain high with protests continuing in multiple districts, including Kolkata and Siliguri. As the situation unfolds, the political ramifications of the Waqf (Amendment) Act continue to divide public opinion, with both protests and campaigns for reform taking center stage.
