Majumdar posted about his visit and concerns on his official ‘X’ handle (formerly Twitter), where he described the situation as dire and called for immediate action.
“Today, I reached Malda and met several displaced, persecuted, and terrified Hindu families who were forced to flee Murshidabad due to barbaric persecution by fundamentalist miscreants. The stories they shared were horrifying and heartbreaking–clear evidence of targeted violence and fear. I have written in detail to the Hon’ble Governor of West Bengal, urging immediate and decisive action. The safety and dignity of these vulnerable Hindu citizens must be protected at all costs. This is not just a law and order issue; it is a humanitarian crisis. I appeal for swift intervention,” his post read.

Earlier on Monday, Majumdar expressed deep concern about the escalating tension in Murshidabad and suggested the prolonged deployment of Central forces like the CRPF to help stabilize the region.
“The situation is very tense and bad. The situation can be improved by keeping the Central force here for a long time. I will request the Chief Minister to take the initiative and ask the Center to deploy CRPF here and the Central force should stay here until the situation becomes normal. Our demand is that peace should be established, the state government should take action for this,” Majumdar told ANI.
The violence in Murshidabad erupted following protests against the Waqf Amendment Act, which has sparked widespread controversy in the area. The protests took a violent turn, leading to the deaths of three individuals, numerous injuries, and extensive damage to property.
The BJP has blamed the Trinamool Congress (TMC) for allegedly supporting the protests. BJP leaders have also strongly condemned remarks made by TMC MP Bapi Halder, accusing him of inciting violence. Majumdar specifically criticized Halder’s statements and questioned the state police’s failure to take action.
