Deploy military in Bengal: BJP's Mithun urges Home Minister Shah
BJP leader Mithun Chakraborty urged Union Home Minister Amit Shah to "deploy military" in West Bengal for at least two months during the Assembly elections. Mithun claimed that Waqf Act was an excuse to target Hindus during the violence in the state. "Whenever there’s a riot...West Bengal Police...bring a chair, sit down, and watch like it’s a performance," he added.
