"The only reason she hasn't attended this event is that she's so accustomed to hearing the Namaz that hearing the Gita makes her ears bleed," Tibrewal said.
Bageshwar Dham Sarkar Acharya Dhirendra Krishna Shastri has said that over five lakh people recited the Gita simultaneously in Kolkata on Sunday, and the enthusiasm and surge of faith were as if the Maha Kumbh Mela had taken place.
Addressing the press conference in Kolkata, Banerjee said, "I heard some people from the BJP say that they don't appreciate Netaji. You don't appreciate Netaji, Rabindranath Tagore, Raja Ramohun Roy, then who do you appreciate?"
Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Shatrughan Sinha on Saturday accused the BJP of repeatedly using religion to provoke voters, while praising West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's leadership and popularity across the state.
Majumdar accused the West Bengal police of fully supporting the act and held West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee responsible for the laying of the mosque's foundation stone.
This comes after the Trinamool Congress (TMC) suspended West Bengal MLA Humayun Kabir on Thursday over his remarks, in which he claimed he would inaugurate a Babri Masjid in the state's Murshidabad district today.
Announcing an ex-gratia of Rs 2 lakh for the families of the deceased and Rs 1 lakh for those hospitalised, Banerjee accused the Centre of selectively implementing SIR in non-BJP-ruled states such as West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala.
Speaking with ANI in Murshidabad, Kabir alleged that she is working in the interests of the RSS. Kabir pointed out the significant increase in RSS branch offices in the state, from 400 in 2011 to 12,000 currently, implying Banerjee's alignment with the organisation.
In a strong statement targeting the Chief Minister, Kabir said to reporters, "The Chief Minister should be an ex-Chief Minister. In 2026, the Chief Minister will not become the Chief Minister, will not be sworn in, and will be branded as an ex-Chief Minister."
