Kolkata, July 31 -- Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and the Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the West Bengal Assembly, Suvendu Adhikari, on Thursday welcomed the Calcutta High Court's decision to extend the deployment of paramilitary forces in violence-hit Murshidabad district for six more weeks.

Speaking to ANI, Suvendu Adhikari said, "Paramilitary forces will stay there for six more weeks. My appeal is that in a few weeks, Hindu festivals are going to commence, and in the riot-hit areas of Murshidabad district, there are not more than 20 per cent Hindus. During the Hindu festivals, the miscreants will again attack the Hindus, and they will create trouble. So the High Court should extend the order further in Dhuliyan and Samserganj." ...
