Bose has sent a report on the recent riots in Murshidabad district to the MHA, mentioning that the “twin spectre of radicalisation and militancy” poses a serious challenge to the state.In his report, he suggested a slew of measures, including setting up an inquiry commission and outposts of central forces in districts bordering Bangladesh, besides writing, “needless to add, the provisions under Article 356 of the Constitution also remain”.The imposition of Article 356 of the Constitution refers to the President’s rule in a state.The governor also suggested several measures in the aftermath of violence that claimed the lives of at least three people, including a man and his son, and left several injured. The riot occurred amidst anti-Waqf (Amendment) Act protests.In the report, the governor also claimed that the riots appeared “premeditated” and the state government was “aware of the imminent build-up of a threat to law and order in Murshidabad”.Banerjee, meanwhile, said her party, the Trinamool Congress, stands with the central government on matters of national security in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack..”Our party is with the government on issues related to internal and external security,” she added.
