19:08 PM IST: Responding to the controversy at the Netaji event in Kolkata, Netaji s Subhas Chandra Bose s grandnephew and BJP leader CK Bose said, Netaji stood for unity. He had people of all communities in the Azad Hind Fauj. Whether you say Jai Hind or Jai Sri Ram , I don t find difference. Jai Sri Ram isn t a statement where one should react in allergic manner.
On Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee s refusal to speak at the event following sloganeering, he said, I think the CM need not have reacted adversely to a slogan whether it s Jai Hind or Jai Shri Ram . This is not the day to do any politics. It is a day to celebrate, it is a day to pay homage to the soldiers and martyrs of Indian National Army.
