Mamata Banerjee.
West Bengal chief minister and Trinamool Congress leader Mamata Banerjee, in her latest book – “India in Distress”, has said under Narendra Modi’s premiership, India is becoming a country of religious orthodoxy.
She, in her book, wrote: “Under this BJP regime, India is losing its feature of being non-violent, secular and harmonious and is being converted into a country of religious orthodoxy, violence and brutality.”
The also accused the BJP government of using Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel’s legacy for publicity. She wrote: “All of a sudden, the BJP spent thousands of crores of rupees to erect his (Patel’s) statue. What is surprising is how constructing such a huge statue of Gandhiji was not considered; how building statues of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose or Babasaheb Ambedkar or Rabindranath Tagore was not thought of.”
She raised seven questions on the lapses in the security apparatus related to the Pulwama tragedy and said, “If the government of India had intelligence input a week ago about the terrorist attack on a convoy movement, then why was the input not shared and why the standing operating procedure of sanitizing the route of the convoy not followed.”
The book was launched by TMC MP Derek O’Brien in New Delhi, on Friday.
