Fresh clashes broke out in West Bengal on Monday over the Waqf (Amendment) Bill as supporters of the Indian Secular Front (ISF) clashed with police at Bhangar in South 24 Paraganas.
The clashes erupted at the Basanti Highway in South 24 Paraganas when police stopped ISF supporters from heading towards Ramlila Maidan in central Kolkata to attend an anti-Waqf (Amendment) Act rally, according to a report by Anandabazar Patrika.
The protesters reportedly blocked the Basanti Highway against the police’s decision to not let them pass and participate in the rally, addressed by party leader and Bhangar MLA Naushad Siddique.
