If not in India, will we take Ram’s name in Pakistan: Amit Shah asks Mamata Banerjee

BJP president Amit Shah on Tuesday alleged that West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is not allowing people to chant ‘Jai Shri Ram’ in the state, and wondered if the Lord’s name cannot be taken in India, will it be uttered in Pakistan.

Shah also dared Banerjee to arrest him for chanting ‘Jai Shri Ram’ at the multiple election rallies he addressed in the state on Tuesday.

“Lord Ram is a part of the culture of India… Can anybody stop people from taking his name? I want to ask Mamata didi, if Shri Ram’s name is not taken in India, will it be chanted in Pakistan?” he said.

“I want to tell Mamata didi that this is West Bengal and not Pakistan… I am going to Kolkata from here (Bishnupur), put me in jail if you have the guts,” the BJP chief said.

He addressed rallies in Ghatal, Keshiari and Bishnupur in West Bengal.
