On Sunday, BJP MP Sukanta Majumdar alleged that a Ram Navami rally was attacked in the Park Circus Seven Point area of Kolkata. He claimed this in a post on X, while the police clarified that no official permission had been granted for such a procession. Majumdar, who represents Balurghat in the Lok Sabha, said that "stones were rained down on vehicles just for carrying saffron flags".

He described the scene as chaotic and shared videos showing damaged vehicles, stating, "Windshields shattered. Chaos unleashed. This wasn't random - it was targeted violence. And where was the police? Right there. Watching. Silent. Spineless. The very force handpicked by (West Bengal Chief Minister) Mamata Banerjee - completely paralysed by her politics of appeasement. Not one step was taken to protect innocent Hindus." He further said, "This cowardly inaction proves ONE thing: the roar of united Bengali Hindus during Ram Navami has shaken the system. Mamata's pampered "Shanti Vahini" isn't peaceful - they're panicked. Rattled. Terrified".

As a Union Minister and president of the Bengal BJP, Majumdar concluded that this was "just the beginning".

In a post tagging the Kolkata Police, BJP leader Sukanta Majumdar declared, "We promise from Kolkata - next year, an even larger, louder, and mightier Ram Navami procession will storm through Park Circus. And the same cops who stood mute today? They'll shower flowers on us. Mark these words."

The police stated they "intervened promptly to restore order" after getting reports of a damaged vehicle. "With reference to an alleged incident at Park Circus, it is clarified that no permission was taken for any procession, nor did any such movement occur in the area. Upon receiving information about damage to a vehicle, police intervened promptly to restore order. A case is being registered to investigate the matter. The public is advised not to heed any rumours,"  the police said in a post on X.

BJP leader Tarunjyoti Tewari pushed back against the police’s statement, questioning whether permission is needed for "anything" in Park Circus.

He pointed to a recent protest, saying, "Was there any permission for the gathering that took place in protest against the Waqf amendment?" Tewari was referring to the demonstration by members of the minority community at Park Circus Crossing on Friday, where they demanded that the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2025, passed by Parliament last week, be withdrawn immediately.

More than 2,000 Ram Navami rallies took place across West Bengal, drawing participation from prominent leaders of both the BJP and Trinamool Congress (TMC). What began as a religious celebration also became a stage for political activity, especially with state assembly elections scheduled for next year.

Around 6,000 police officers were deployed across key areas, supported by drone surveillance, CCTV cameras and quick response teams to maintain security.

Governor CV Ananda Bose showed gratitude to the public for keeping the event peaceful. He credited the combined efforts of the state government, political parties, and the Raj Bhavan for the smooth and safe conduct of the celebrations.
