The Socialist Party strongly condemns the Trinamool Congress government and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for failing to stop communal violence in Basirhat and Baduria areas of 24 Parganas district in West Bengal.

The party also condemns the radical Muslims directly involved in communal violence and demands legal action against them. The party believes that RSS is endangering the security of the country by creating an atmosphere of ‘Hindu insecurity’ in East Border areas for the political purposes, especially in West Bengal. The RSS should refrain from such disruptive activities.

The Socialist Party pays tributes to communal riots victim Kartik Chandra Ghosh, resident of Basirhat, and expresses sympathy for the affected people.

The West Bengal unit of the Socialist Party will prepare a report on the prevailing communal tension by visiting the affected areas.
