How is she making us "communally divided"?
Cross-posting from another thread:
Communal politics was not a part of West Bengal politics, previous governments had their fault, but never played communal politics so blatantly, nor previous governments were so corrupt, corruption in West Bengal politics was never an issue. You guys blame BJP for communal cards, but they can't even dream of doing things that didi does, which certainly vitiates the communal fabric of Bengal. Take some examples:
1. She announced monthly salary for Imam and Moyajjen (not sure if the term) in all mosques, no other religion gets such benefits.
2. She announced scholarships for Muslim students only, students of other religions don't get it, it's not that in a village non-muslim students are financially any better than muslim students.
3. She wanted to do a hospital for muslims only, then there were some protests, people questioned if a hindu and a muslim going together meet with an accident near that hospital, should the hindu be left to die? We don't have the luxury of plenty of options in hospitals in rural areas. She had to postpone the ridiculous plan till she finds the answer.
4. She started a special Eid bonus for muslim state government employees, that means they earn more compared to the employees of other religions for the same job. Nothing creates more divide than money.
5. She also distributes special subsidized Eid food package from ration shops, there is no such package for any other religion.
6. Muslims who died during Haj yatra got 10 lakh compensation from her government, martyred soldiers of our state got 2 lakh, any Hindu dying during Amarnath yatra would get nothing.
7. Durga Puja bisarjana dates coincide with Eid almost every year, so she has barred all Durga Puja bisarjana during 1 or 2 days of Eid. That's directly interfering with one religion against the other.
8. There were at least a couple of incidents that got reported in the media where she has closed down or banned Durga Puja because of the protests of local muslims there. This year just a few days ago a 65 years old Saraswati Puja in a school was stopped on local muslims' demand, and her police has brutally beaten up minor girl students demanding continuation of their puja.
9. She panders to the radicals among the Muslim community, she has nominated a banned Muslim radical group SIMI's ex-operative as Rajya sabha MP in spite of objections from IB and home ministry, one shahi Imam of WB has enough say in the government, he is someone who would do Osama-prayer and prayer for that Mumbai bombing terrorist.
10. She gives a free hand to every demand of radical Muslims, they wanted to ban a women's football tournament, she allowed the ban. They would prevent any supposedly anti-muslim writer like Rushdie or Nasrin to enter West Bengal and hold protest, she would agree. Very recently she has banned a seminar with some international guests where Pakistan & Balochistan issue was a topic...she banned it to safeguard 'muslim sentiment'!!
11. She apparently has given instructions to the police to not touch any Muslim during any law & order issue, heck, they don't even catch muslim bikers without helmet! So police just stood there, as seen in the video footages, when muslim radicals were recently burning down the hindu homes in Dhulagarh in a rampage. Because of this police inaction there were many communal incidents during last year's Durga Puja, Kali Puja and Jagadhatri puja in Chandannagar. In fact communal incidents in West Bengal has increased many folds since didi took charge as per the national crime reports, we never had so many riots before.
Secularism is anything but pandering to one religion over others. She is doing everything to ensure that people turn against each other, just to secure some muslim votes. You will see many WB muslims are very happy with her, but they are missing the bigger picture.
Earlier our votes used to go mostly to the Congress now its shifted to tmc
Are you really from West Bengal? Because CPM used to get most of the Muslim votes earlier in Bengal.
Btw, how come your dialect is Bangladeshi, you didn't answer?
