New Delhi [India], April 16 (ANI): Sudarshan Vahini, a Hindu group on Tuesday protested outside the Trinamool Congress office in Delhi over the violence in Murshidabad, demanding that President's rule be imposed in West Bengal.
Azad Vinod, a protester, said that they were protesting against the atrocities being committed against Hindus in West Bengal's Murshidabad district and demanded that the President's Rule be imposed.
'In Bengal, the way atrocities are being committed against Hindus, the migration of Hindus is happening. Mamata Banerjee, through her appeasement politics, is oppressing Hindus. Such govt should be immediately dismissed, and President's Rule should be imposed. We appeal to our Prime Minister Modi to immediately save our Hindu brothers,' he told ANI.
Amarjeet, another protester, said that what was happening in Bangladesh is now happening in Murshidabad and demanded that the Central government take strong action on the Murshidabad issue.

Unrest broke out in Murshidabad during protests against the Waqf (Amendment) Act on April 11. The law has been a contentious issue in the region.
