ram navami violence

Union Home Ministry led by Amit Shah sought a detailed report from the West Bengal government on the violence during Ram Navami in Howrah. The development from central government came days after Union Home Minister Amit Shah spoke to Governor CV Ananda Bose. The home ministry sought a detailed report from the West Bengal government on the violence that took place on Ram Navami in Howrah, the sources confirmed.

After the recent Ram Navami violence, West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee called for caution ahead of Hanuman Jayanti, on April 6.  Banerjee said, "I am asking my administration as well as the common people to remain alert on April 6. We all respect Bajrangbali, and we do not want any tension or violence in his name." The caution came after recent clashes in Rishra Hoogly, three days after Ram Navami.

The Ram Navami violence and communal clash started taking a political turn, amid a blame game of the political parties, the Trinamool Congress and the BJP. While Mamata Banerjee blamed BJP goons to start the violence, the BJP leaders said, Mamata Banerjee-led Government gave clean chit to all the stone pelters in the region. Meanwhile, BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari filed a plea and demanded a CBI inquiry into the violence.
