TIL Desk/National/Kolkata/ West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee Tuesday lashed out at the BJP for questioning her religion and said neither she nor the people of the state need to learn the meaning of ‘communal harmony’ from the “divisive BJP”.
“There are people who question my religion. I want to tell them that my religion is humanity and I do not need lectures from others about religion,” she said at a programme here in connection with the upcoming Holi festival.
“They (BJP) try to point fingers at me and say I do not allow puja to be conducted in Bengal. They should go and see how many ‘mandir’ (temples) have been constructed during the TMC regime,” the Trinamool Congress supremo said.
The BJP had often questioned her religion and accused her of following the politics of appeasement. Continuing to hit out at the saffron party, Banerjee, who is among its harshest critics, said she believed in playing Holi with colours “unlike some sections (BJP) which believe in paying with blood”.
