"Suffering they are going through is inhuman": NCW Chairperson Rahatkar led delegation meets violence-affected people in Bengal's Murshidabad

Murshidabad (West Bengal) [India], April 19 (ANI): A delegation of the National Commission of Women led by its Chairperson Vijaya Rahatkar on Saturday visited the violence-affected Murshidabad area and said it will submit its report to the Centre.
Rahatkar said the commission will put forth the demands of the people before the government.
Speaking to mediapersons here, Rahatkar said "The suffering these people are going through is inhuman. We will put their demands in front of the government..."
On her meeting with the family of a father and son duo in Jafrabad, who were allegedly killed in the violent protests, Rahatkar said that she did not have words to describe the pain of the family. "These people are in so much pain, that I am speechless right now. I don't have the words to describe their pain," the NCW Chairperson said.
Rahatkar arrived in Kolkata on Thursday evening to lead an inquiry into the recent violence. She is part of the probe committee constituted by the NCW, which is on a three-day visit to affected areas in West Bengal, including Malda and Murshidabad. The NCW chairperson said that her visit aims to boost the morale of women who have been left traumatised by the communal unrest.
She met with families affected by the Murshidabad violence at a shelter home in the State's Malda district on Friday.
Meanwhile, BJP MLA Agnimitra Paul stated that what happened in Murshidabad was an "eye-opener"
Paul told reporters on Friday, "They (NCW team) should visit, what happened in Murshidabad is an eye opener...the whole country is witnessing what is happening...Jihadis are burning the houses of Sanatani people, shops and temple...Is this Syria, Afghanistan or Pakistan?...We need the National Investigation Agency to investigate...People should know what exactly happened and what was the role of (Chief Minister) Mamata Banerjee..."
Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose visited a relief camp in Par Lalpur on Friday, located in the state's Malda district and assured proactive action.
Speaking to ANI after his visit, Governor Bose said, "I met the family members who are in this camp. I had a detailed discussion with them. I listened to their grievances and understood their feelings. They also informed me of their requirements. Certainly, proactive action will be taken.
The visit comes in the wake of violence that erupted on April 11 during protests against the Waqf (Amendment) Act, which resulted in the deaths of three people, injuries to several others, and widespread property damage. Several families have been displaced, with many migrating to Jharkhand's Pakur district, while others have taken refuge in relief camps set up in Malda. (ANI)
