KOLKATA: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), on Friday, highlighted a video showing the home of a Hindu teacher being gutted in Gowainghat, Sylhet, in neighbouring Bangladesh, and drew a comparison with the alleged similar incidents in the minority-dominated district of West Bengal.
BJP's Information Technology Cell chief and central observer for West Bengal, Amit Malviya, shared the video on his social media handle X and claimed that the house of the said teacher was burnt down just because he was Hindu.
In his social media post, while referring to the video, Malviya compared the Bangladesh incident with similar cases in riot-hit Murshidabad district of West Bengal last year, where violent protests erupted against the Waqf (Amendment) Act.
