In light of the controversy, Pro-tem Speaker of Madhya Pradesh Assembly Rameshwar Sharma gifted a copy of the Ramayana to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Sunday, appealing her to read it carefully.
Rameshwar Sharma alleged that CM Mamata Banerjee is opposing Ram's name "under pressure from Bangladesh" and "due to her vote bank".
"Everyone knows what is the current status and condition of those who opposed Lord Ram's name in the past," he said.
While speaking to India Today TV, Sharma said "Did anyone have an empire bigger than Ravana? But he opposed Ram's name and everyone knows what happened to him."
