Mamata Banerjee flays hecklers and Bharat Jalao Party She accused the saffron camp of having added Netaji to the list of icons the BJP has “insulted” while trying to appropriate them
Mamata Banerjee on Monday lambasted attempts at “teasing” her with Jai Shri Ram chants by some in the audience at the BJP-led Centre’s supposedly apolitical event on Saturday to honour Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose on his birth anniversary.
“Tell me, my mothers and sisters, if you invite me over for a meal at your home, would you call me and then tell me that you will give me one tight slap, that I should get out of your home? Would you ever do that? That is not our tradition, not our courtesy, not our decency,” said Mamata, at a party event in Hooghly’s Pursurah, in her first public reaction to the heckling.
