BJP Leader Priyangu Pandey Shot During West Bengal Bandh

Must Read

The recent attack on BJP leader Priyangu Pandey during the West Bengal bandh reveals the brutal reality of political violence in the state. Under Mamata Banerjee’s regime, attacks on BJP workers and protesting students have become a terrifying norm, raising serious concerns about democracy and freedom of expression in West Bengal.

A Climate of Fear

West Bengal, once a hub of intellectualism and political activism, now lives in fear. Mamata Banerjee’s government, instead of encouraging dialogue and democratic dissent, chooses to suppress opposition. The daylight shooting of Priyangu Pandey is just one incident in a broader pattern where attackers routinely harass, assault, and even kill BJP workers. These acts of terror clearly aim to silence the opposition and keep the BJP marginalized in the state.

Targeting the Youth: A New Low

The increasing attacks on students who protest against the regime are even more alarming. These young voices represent the future of the nation, yet the state meets their protests with violence and intimidation. Instead of protecting their rights to protest and express dissent, the state uses heavy-handed tactics to crush their spirit. The message is clear: conform, or suffer the consequences.

Mamata’s Iron Fist

Mamata Banerjee’s approach to governance now mirrors that of an autocracy, where dissent faces brutality, and opposition receives no tolerance. The ruling party’s role in these attacks, whether direct or through tacit approval, raises serious questions about the state’s complicity in this violence. Who shields these criminals? Why do authorities fail to bring those responsible to justice?

Silencing Democracy

In a democracy, opposition and dissent are not just rights; they are essential for the system’s health. Mamata Banerjee’s violent suppression of BJP workers and students in West Bengal sets a dangerous precedent. This approach undermines the very foundation of democracy and sends a chilling message to anyone who dares to challenge the status quo.

The attack on Priyangu Pandey does more than harm an individual; it strikes at the heart of democracy, freedom of speech, and the right to dissent. As the nation watches in horror, we must ask: how much longer will the terror of the Mamata regime continue? And who will hold them accountable for the bloodshed on the streets of West Bengal?
