In Kakdwip (South 24 Parganas), an idol of the goddess Maa Kali was reportedly desecrated and transported in a prison van, prompting outrage from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The BJP termed the incident an “insult to the Hindu faith” and accused the Trinamool Congress (TMC) state government of shielding the perpetrators. The TMC responded by urging restraint, calling for facts to be established while investigations remain underway. The controversy has intensified political tensions ahead of the upcoming state elections. (PC: X)
