Another incident of Jihadi violence came from Murshidabad - a Muslim dominated city - with causalities, a spiral effect of yesterday's so called peaceful protest against Waqf act in Kolkata. The West Bengal capital came to standstill with Palestine flags being flashed along with that of India's. An incident shared showed an unseeming bus driver going about his daily route, stuck in the mayhem of the protest, asked to remove the Ram Navmi flag fixated on the window of the bus (Ram Navmi happened last week). Fact that there was a policeman alongside a rampant group of protesters asking the driver to remove the flag, is a telltale sign of who is dictating the terms here. Few months back the police / TMC cadre had unleashed their force against a peaceful protester by the medical community post the RG Kar case. What is this attitude of "not meddling" in activities of a certain community? Why were Palestine flags flashed for Waqf protest? Why the CM attributed the violence to the WAQF act " which had been passed in parliament" following due process of deliberation in both houses? W
Then there is a "hypothesis" of provoking. These leaders implicitly want to communicate that don't provoke the Jihadist. You should not take a "Ram Navmi" or "Hanuman Jayanti" procession as it may provoke the Jihadist and state machinery is not equipped to handle the recursion or the political narrative which Favours the dispensation hinges on how the Jihadist will react to the so-called religious festivals of the majority.
What great intellect is required to look at this circus of plain illogic happening in plain sight? Will these leaders realize that the feeding snakes in the backyards will eventually lead to incident where the snake is going to bite you. And to arrest this poison from society and eventually to arrest the poison a part has to be cut off.
