Tensions in India's West Bengal have surged following an amendment to Waqf laws that expands government control over Muslim religious properties. Since April 11, violence has erupted, leading to fatalities and injuries amidst clashes between Hindu and Muslim communities. Many Muslims view the amendmentâproposed by the BJP governmentâas a significant threat to their religious property rights. The unrest, intensified by misinformation and political disputes, has prompted a Supreme Court review, while rival political factions are accused of exploiting these tensions for their agendas.
Since April 11, at least three people have been killed and dozens more injured in communal clashes between Hindus and Muslims, police say.
The amendment to India's Waqf laws has been perceived by many in the Muslim community as a threat to their property rights and religious institutions.
