Complaints after Bageshwar Baba’s remarks
You have done enough,” Adhikari said in the Assembly. Adhikari issued clear instructions that those who burnt his photos should be arrested immediately While a section of the opposition claimed his remarks were an “attack on Bengali culture”. Warning political opponents against “appeasement politics”, the CM said, “Think five times before insulting the saffron colour or insulting the society of saints and monks.
“I saw a number of people burning his photographs outside Bhowanipore Police Station. I am directing the CP that these people need to be arrested. This will not be tolerated in this state. “A saint came to Liluah, he spoke like a saint about nationalism, Akhand Bharat and culture. Those who want to accept will accept, and those who do not want will not. Apart from the complaint by the state Congress, multiple complaints have since been lodged at Kolkata and Howrah police stations against Garg. Appeasement politics has gone on in this state for many years, now it will be no more.”
Kolkata : Breaking his silence on the controversy around Dhirendra Krishna Garg alias Bageshwar Baba and the consequent protests across the state, chief minister Suvendu Adhikari on Thursday directed Kolkata Police commissioner Ajay Nand to identify and arrest those who burnt the godman’s photographs outside Bhowanipore Police Station. He did not impose it on anyone. ” During a Hanumant Katha event at Liluah in Howrah on Saturday, the self-styled godman’s remark on Bengalis having non-vegetarian food during Durga Puja started off a political controversy. On Tuesday, members of the state Congress lodged a complaint against him at the Bhowanipore Police Station for allegedly hurting religious sentiments of Bengalis and burnt his photos in protest.
