Mamata Banerjee says BJP is mixing religion and politics with ‘Jai Sri Ram’ slogan
Mamata Banerjee.
While trying to justify her outburst against people chanting “Jai Shree Ram”, West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee, on Sunday, said that the Bharatiya Janata Party is mixing religion with politics by using the slogan.
In a detailed Facebook post, Banerjee said, “BJP is using religious slogan Jai Sri Ram as their party slogan in a misconceived manner by way of mixing religion with politics. We do not respect this forcible enforcement of political slogans on others in the name of so called RSS which Bengal never accepted.”
She added, “This is a deliberate attempt to sell hatred ideology through vandalism and violence which we must oppose together.”
Banerjee also asserted that there is a need to oppose “such moves” by the BJP to “keep the secular character of the country as enshrined” in the Constitution.
