Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee to visit violence-hit Murshidabad today
West Bengal Agriculture Minister Shobandeb Chatterjee said the Chief Minister was unable to go to the place because of the unrest ANI West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will visit Murshidabad on Monday. West Bengal Agriculture Minister Shobandeb Chatterjee said the Chief Minister was unable to go to the place because of the unrest. Speaking to the reporters, Chatterjee said, "Our leader, Mamata Banerjee, has been saying this since day one that it has been very difficult for leaders to go to that area. Let the police do their is peace there now, let them live in needs to be done is being is going to tell everyone how they can live together." Earlier in April, Murishdabad witnessed massive violence on April 11, during a protest against the Waqf (Amendment) Act. The protest had turned violent and resulted in two deaths, several injuries and property damage. Thousands of people had fled their homes in search of safety. Earlier on April 26, BJP MP Tarun Chugh had accused the Mamata Banerjee-led West Bengal government of giving "shelter to rioters" following the violence in Murshidabad, and claimed that the silence proved complicity. "The West Bengal government's silence on the premeditated and planned attack on Hindus in Murshidabad is proof that Mamata Banerjee's government has given shelter to the rioters," Chugh told ANI. Stepping up his attack on the West Bengal Chief Minister, Chugh said that Bengal has been "ruined and disgraced" under Banerjee's leadership due to "atrocities on Hindus.""Mamata Banerjee has ruined and disgraced Bengal with her atrocities and misrule... This (Murshidabad violence) is a blot on humanity. Her politics of appeasement have given a free hand to criminals in the state," he added. Chugh's comments come after the National Commission for Women expressed deep concern over the recent "communal violence" in Murshidabad and Malda districts, where women and girls were "subjected to unspeakable acts of sexual violence, physical assault, and rape threats.

Everything ended in a second: Pahalgam attack victim's wife recounts horror
"In the final moments, if I had been with him, he would definitely have said 'I love you' to me, but everything ended in a second," said Aishanya, the wife of Shubham Dwivedi, a resident of Kanpur and one of the 26 people killed in the deadly Pahalgam terror attack. Sharing her heart-wrenching account of the incident in an exclusive interaction with AajTak, Aishanya said that the couple initially thought the terrorist was approaching them for a game. "With a smile on his face, he asked us if we were Hindus or Muslims, looked into our eyes and asked us to recite a kalma," Aishanya said, recalling how they were in the middle of answering that they were Hindus and Shubham was shot. advertisement"If he was injured or could breathe even barely, he would've said 'I love you'. He loved me a lot," Aishanya further said, adding that the terrorist "checked" Shubham's body after shooting him. She also said that the gunfire lasted for 45 minutes, but no one came to help. "The terrorists knew that no one would help, and hence, had time to enquire about people's religious identities," Aishanya said. Shubham Dwivedi, a 31-year-old businessman from Kanpur, married Aishanya on February 12 this year. The couple was in Kashmir with their nine family members on a week-long holiday, visiting Sonamarg and Gulmarg before reaching recounted that they sought help from the horse riders, asking them to escort her elderly parents to safety, but were refused. "They said, 'We are not your horsemen' and did not help us," she expressed her suspicion regarding the involvement of locals, especially after seeing a viral video of a zip-line operator. "Even our horseman kept asking us questions repeatedly, which makes us doubt local complicity in the attack."According to Aishanya, some members of their family were reluctant to go up, but the horseman insisted for about 10 minutes that they should proceed. "We even offered him the full payment, but he kept pushing us to go ahead," she said. "I only know one thing- if we were Muslims, we would have been saved. We were killed just because we were Hindus."In her emotional plea, Aishanya said that the government's efforts were futile, as the terrorists are still hiding in the area. "Why haven't we been able to find them yet? These terrorists should be shot in front of their own families," she was one of the 26 people killed by terrorists in the Baisaran Valley near Pahalgam on April 22. Aishanya is now demanding that Shubham be posthumously recognised as a martyr.
