PM Modi accuses TMC of questioning character of Sandeshkhali women: ‘To protect their Shahjahan…’.

PM Modi also alleged that the TMC is spreading canards against ISKCON, Ramakrishna Mission, and Bharat Sevashram Sangha. Addressing a poll rally in Purulia, Modi alleged that members of the TMC are raising questions on the “characters of the sisters of Sandeshkhali”. “…To protect ‘their Shahjahan’, the people of TMC are questioning the character of the sisters of Sandeshkhali,” Modi said. “The kind of language that they (TMC) are using for them, the daughters of Bengal will reply to the TMC by destroying it through their votes.” Modi said that the Mamata Banerjee-led party had given a slogan of ‘Maa, Maati and Manush’ but they did nothing to protect them. “The incident of Sandeshkhali has shaken the women of Bengal… TMC has dehumanised the women of SC and ST communities to protect Shahjahan Sheikh,” the prime minister said. “Leaders of TMC are pointing fingers at the women who suffered atrocities.” Modi also said that the TMC has crossed the limits of decency by stooping so low that it is “spreading canards against ISKCON, Ramakrishna Mission and Bharat Sevashram Sangha”. “The TMC has gone beyond its limits by spreading canards against ISKCON, Ramakrishna Mission and Bharat Sevashram Sangha. West Bengal Chief Minister (Mamata Banerjee) is threatening them. They are threatening them just to appease their vote bank,” he said. Modi’s reference was towards an election speech by Mamata Banerjee in which she had alleged that some monks of Ramakrishna Mission and Bharat Sevashram Sangha are working under the influence of BJP leaders in Delhi. “Those who are looking after temples are doing great spiritual jobs, but everyone is not doing so. This is not done. We respect the monks,” she had said.
