Sadhus take to the street in Kolkata against Mamata Banerjee derogatory attack on Hindu institutions like Ramakrishna Mission & Sevashram. It's really sad that Sanyasi has to go through these.
Mamata Banerjee targeting a monk of Bharat Sevashram Sangha has drawn a sharp response from Saints all over bengal in demand of apology.
Halfway through the Lok Sabha election in West Bengal, Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress chairperson Mamata Banerjee has opened a new front, that against Hindu monks, stirring the poll pot in the State.
For the second time in three days, the Chief Minister targeted a prominent monk of the Bharat Sevashram Sangha (BSS) and blamed him for the riots at Beldanga in Murshidabad during Ram Navami processions last month.
“If he wants to do BJP, he can, but he should do it wearing its badge,” Ms. Banerjee said, while referring to Kartick Maharaj of BSS, at a rally in Bankura district. The Chief Minister said the monk was earlier associated with Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury and now is with the BJP.
Swami Paramatmananda replies - Who is monk who is not it’s not upto her to decide, I even wonder and doubt if she is a Hindu or not as even after being a Brahmin women she wearing hijab does namaz just to appease one special community of “Dudhel Gai” (Peacefuls).
As CM Mamata Banerjee's crass remark about monks influencing people politically drew sharp reactions from the community. Now, bodies like Bharat Sevashram Sangha, ISKCON, and Ramakrishna Mission will hold a mega rally on May 24 to demand her apology.
