Kolkata: Scores of BJP workers on Wednesday staged a protest in Kolkata against West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjeefor his remarks of “Mrityu-Kumbh” on Maha Kumbh stampede.
The protests were led by the Union Minister and West Bengal BJP President Sukanta Majumdar
Majumdar accused Mamata Banerjee of insulting the Hindus.
“The way Mamata Banerjee has insulted the Hindus and Hindu religion, there should be protests against her in the entire country…We have written to the Governor to take action on the matter.”
Meanwhile, amid the row over Mamata Banerjee’s ‘Mrityu Kumbh” remarks, Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya demanded that Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee should apologise for hurting the faith of the people
“Akhilesh Yadav ji, Mamata didi and Congress president Malliakarjun Kharge ji, the statement of these three leaders, is anti-Hindu. It is against devotees and Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj. I strongly condemn it and think they are not in a good state of mind. And they should apologise to the country, the devotees and people of the state for hurting the faith of the people,” he told reporters.
On Tuesday, Mamata Banerjee in her statement while addressing the Legislative Assembly, expressed her respect for the holy ‘Ganga Maa’ and the significance of the Maha Kumbh but strongly criticized the organizers for the inadequate arrangements that resulted in stampedes on January 29 in Prayagraj and February 15 in New Delhi Railway station.
Mamata Banerjee said, “This is ‘Mrityu Kumbh’…I respect Maha Kumbh, I respect the holy Ganga Maa. But there is no planning…How many people have been recovered?”
