Mamata assaults Centre over cancellation of Christmas as nationwide vacation

Later within the night whereas addressing a Christmas occasion organised by Kolkata’s iconic St. Xavier’s Faculty, the chief minister once more attacked the BJP each over the Ambedkar feedback and the deletion of Christmas from the record of nationwide holidays.

“I strongly imagine whereas faith is private to every, festivals are common. That’s the reason I’ve declared holidays on non secular events. In a rustic like India, we can not implement one specific path or lifestyle. Unity in range is the basis of Indian philosophy,” the chief minister stated.

Banerjee stated on Wednesday that because the Indian Parliament mirrored on 75 years of the Structure, the Union Dwelling Minister selected to tarnish this event with derogatory remarks in opposition to Ambedkar and that “too within the temple of democracy”.

“It is a show of BJP’s CASTEIST and ANTI-DALIT mindset. If that is how they behave after being decreased to 240 seats, think about the injury they’d’ve inflicted if their dream of 400 seats had been realised. They’d have rewritten historical past to completely erase Ambedkar’s contributions,” the chief minister added.
