'Wants To Appease Muslim Voters...': Amit Shah Condemns Mamata Banerjee's Remark On Ramakrishna Mission
The Home Minister said that in the remote areas of North-East India, Ramakrishna Mission works to provide healthcare, education, and water supply among other services

Union Home Minster Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday condemned West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s remark on Ramakrishna Mission and said that the TMC supremo wants to appease Muslim voters by defaming organisations like Bharat Sewashram Sangh, ISKCON and Ramakrishna Mission.

While addressing the media, Shah said, “I condemn this comment made by Mamata Banerjee. Bharat Sevashram Sangh is an organisation because of which West Bengal is a part of India… Mamata Banerjee wants to appease Muslim voters by defaming organisations like Bharat Sewashram Sangh, ISKCON, and Ramakrishna Mission.”

The Home Minister further said that in the remote areas of North-East India, Ramakrishna Mission works to provide healthcare, education, and water supply among other services.

“BJP will protest against the West Bengal government for police action on properties of the ashram,” he said, in a conversation with news agency ANI.

What CM Mamata Banerjee Said?

Addressing a poll rally in Goghat under the Arambagh Lok Sabha constituency, Bengal CM had claimed, “Some monks of Ramakrishna Mission and Bharat Sevashram Sangha are working under the influence of BJP leaders in Delhi. Those who are looking after temples are doing great spiritual jobs, but everyone is not doing so. This is not done.”

BJP Reacts

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while speaking at a rally in Purulia on Sunday, said that the TMC has crossed the limits of decency by stooping so low that it is “spreading canards against ISKCON, Ramakrishna Mission and Bharat Sevashram Sangha”.

“The TMC has gone beyond its limits by spreading canards against ISKCON, Ramakrishna Mission and Bharat Sevashram Sangha. West Bengal Chief Minister (Mamata Banerjee) is threatening them. They are threatening them just to appease their vote bank,” he said.

Bengal BJP chief Sukanta Majumdar was the first to respond to Mamata’s allegations, saying “Her delusional rants are a travesty for the people of Bengal.” “Mamata Banerjee’s recent attack on ISKCON, RKM, & Bharat Sevashram Sangh hits a new low. She accuses them of threatening India’s future, claims RKM is campaigning for the BJP via WhatsApp. As the CM, her delusional rants are a travesty for the people of Bengal,” he said.
