Against the backdrop of the violence during anti-Waqf (Amendment) Act<\/a> protests in various places of West Bengal<\/a>, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday (April 15, 2025) said everybody has the right to demonstrate peacefully, but none should take the law into their hands.<\/p>\n

While inaugurating a skywalk close to the famed Kali temple at Kalighat<\/a> in south Kolkata, she also asked people not to indulge in non-religious activities in the name of religion.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cEverybody has the democratic right to stage a peaceful protest with permission. I will request people not to take the law into their own hands. To protect the law, we have custodians and do not need any demon,\u201d Banerjee said.<\/p>\n

She also urged people not to fall prey to any provocation. \u201cPlease do not indulge in non-religious activities in the name of religion,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Ms. Banerjee said that some people not only criticise her because she visits programmes of various religions, but also change her surname.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The violence in the Muslim-majority Murshidabad district’s Dhulian area, which erupted on Friday during protests over the amended Wakf law, claimed three lives and left several injured.<\/p>\n

In fresh violence over the same issue, supporters of the opposition Indian Secular Front on Monday clashed with the police at Bhangar in South 24 Parganas district, leading to injuries to several people and torching of multiple police vehicles.<\/p>\n

\u201cLive in peace. The land of Bengal is the land of peace. Its soil is as pure as gold,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
