Mamata Banerjee question Sangh Parivar’s Hinduism, challenges Narendra Modi to mantra contest 

Mamata Banerjee.

The Trinamool Congress leader and chief minister of West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee, on Tuesday, challenged the prime minister, Narendra Modi, and the Bhartiya Janata Party president, Amit Shah, to a mantra-chanting contest. She threw the dare at a pre-Holi get-together organized by the International Marwari Federation.

While questioning the Sangh Parivar’s version of Hinduism, Banerjee said, “I believe in celebrating Holi with colours and a pure mind, unlike some leaders who believe in playing Holi with the blood of others.”

She added, “Some people only make tall promises without trying to fulfil them. … They use the Ram mandir only as political rhetoric before elections. We don’t believe in the religion of hatred. We believe in humanism.”
