CM Suvendu Adhikari at the ‘Gerua Samman Yatra’ on Wednesday
This is my clear message,” Adhikari said after leading a 2.5-km “Gerua Samman Yatra” from Golpark to the 8B crossing in Jadavpur. Vowing strong action against certain wall graffiti at JU, Adhikari said: “I have taken an oath. The CM said a three-day programme of Veda recitation will be held at the 8B intersection, followed by two ceremonies where Gita and Hanuman Chalisa will be read. I expect all nationalist people to participate in it,” Adhikari said in his six-minute speech.
“I have come here only to issue a warning. I will uproot the ‘Kashmir demands azaadi’ gang and those who raise slogans such as ‘Free Palestine’ and ‘Red salute to Kishenji’ from Jadavpur, which houses a centre of excellence and is the land of Rishi Aurobindo. He asserted, “Bengal’s chief minister knows how to cleanse the campus of them. “Hiranmayananda ji Maharaj is organising a three-day Ved Paath programme.
In today’s West Bengal, where there is a spiritual awakening around saffron, we will not tolerate anyone uttering insulting words against or writing derogatory comments about it.
Last month, Adhikari had led a programme titled “10,000 Voices for Vande Mataram” near JU, criticising slogans allegedly raised on the campus and questioning the nature of protests there. Naga sadhus were among those who walked. Adhikari, dressed in a saffron T-shirt and trousers, walked alongside industry minister Tapas Roy, Kartik Maharaj, Shanku Deb Panda and other party functionaries. The choice of Jadavpur for Gerua Samman Yatra added political significance to the mobilisation.
