over one lakh Muslim protesters took out a procession at Kaliachak against a hate speechby a right wing leader in Uttar Pradesh in December. The demonstrators then went on a rampage, setting a police station and several vehicles on fire. One person sustained a bullet injury.

A rally of nearly one lakh Muslim protesters went on a rampage in Malda on Sunday with demonstrators setting a police station on fire.

According to police sources, the demonstrations had spiralled out of control after a BSF vehicle got stuck in the traffic jam caused by the procession and an altercation flared between the protesters and BSF personnel.

Some sources also suggest the Kaliachak police station was targeted to burn down crime records. With Assembly elections just months away, the police is expected to begin a crackdown on people with criminal records.

Malda is believed to be a hub of a fake currency racket and according to the National Investigation Agency, 90 per cent of the fake currency that enters India from Pakistan via Bangladesh comes in from Malda which borders the neighbouring country.

Contesting questions about the incident at a business summit in Kolkata, Ms Banerjee in her inaugural address yesterday and closing address todaysaid there was no communal trouble in Bengal.

The Home Ministry has asked Ms Banerjee's government to submit a reporton the violence. Home Minister Rajnath Singh, may visit Malda and Kaliachak later this month.

The BJP has accused Ms Banerjee's Trinamool Congressof protecting those behind Sunday's violence.

Actually, TC , CPM and their pro minority policies are the best thing that can ever happen to the BJP in WB , provided they think long term ( 10 years ) & get their act right.

Didi's logic.
I wonder if she governs the state with same logical ideas in her mind . Sooner or later a very good intellectual state will become a place of worship for sickulars.

I am awaiting for BSF comments..
IF BSF says state Government has levied wrong charges, then WB state government and Mamta Banerjee should apologise in front of the whole world and media for bringing disrepute to BSF

If BSF concurs Mamata Banerjee theory, then media should taste few bans for stoking communal angle and showing intolerance for no reasons at all.

IMHO and purely personal opinion, I doubt BSF being the chief issue here as claimed by Mamta Banerjee .. Dont think media would exaggerate by such a huge proportion... But then again since BSF has not commented, i would wait a bit more to understand the facts behind this whole incident.
