A violent incident has rocked Amdanga village in West Bengal’s North 24 Parganas district, where a panchayat pradhan was critically injured in a country bomb explosion. This event adds to the recent surge of political violence in the state.

The panchayat pradhan, identified as Rupchand Mondal, suffered severe injuries due to the bomb blast. Bhaskar Mukherjee, the Superintendent of Police (SP) in Barasat, confirmed Mondal’s hospitalization in critical condition. As of now, the hospital authorities have not released any updates on his health status.

This incident follows closely on the heels of another violent episode in Joynagar, South 24 Parganas district, where Saifuddin Laskar, a local leader of the Trinamool Congress (TMC), was shot dead. The killing of Laskar, who was attacked while offering Namaz, led to further clashes in the area, resulting in additional injuries and the death of Shahabuddin.

Political Repercussions and Blame Game

The ongoing violence has intensified the political atmosphere in the region, with TMC and BJP leaders engaging in a war of words. TMC MP Santanu Sen accused ‘hooligans’ of the BJP and CPI(M) of being involved in Laskar’s murder. In response, BJP MLA and West Bengal general secretary Agnimitra Paul criticized the state’s law and order situation, blaming the ruling party for the rise in criminal activities.

The series of violent incidents in West Bengal has heightened concerns about the security and political stability in the region, with the local administration and police forces facing challenges in maintaining peace and order.
