‘Don’t create a riot-like situation’
On April 2, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee urged all communities to maintain peace during Ram Navami.
“They are doing a rally on Ram Navami. We want peace. Everyone will do puja. I request everyone and all communities to maintain peace. Don’t create a riot-like situation. We will follow Ramakrishna, not jumla party. We will follow Vivekananda, not jumla party. I repeat, don’t try to disturb each other’s programs and festivals,” she said.
