Waqf Act will not be implemented in Bengal says CM Mamata Banerjee

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Saturday said the Waqf (Amendment) Act will not be implemented in the state.

“We have made our position clear on this matter – we do not support this law. This law will not be implemented in our state. So what is



the riot about?” she said in a post on social media platform X.

Her post comes at a time when several pockets in the state, especially at the minority-dominated Murshidabad district, have been on the boil for the last few days over the protests against the Waqf Act.
