In a recent turn of events, the monks of West Bengal have decided to take a stand against Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's comments regarding certain monks of the Ramakrishna Mission and Bharat Sevasharam Sangha. They plan to do so by organizing a rally in Kolkata on May 24th, which has been named the 'Sant Swabhiman Yatra'. This initiative has been backed by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and the Bangiya Sanyasi Samaj, a prestigious organization of monks in West Bengal.
The rally, which will take place in the northern part of Kolkata, aims to not only voice their disapproval of the Chief Minister's remarks but also protest against the recent attack on the Ramakrishna Mission Ashram in Jalpaiguri. "We strongly condemn the CM's remarks which we believe are driven by vote bank politics," expressed VHP leader Sourish Mukherjee. It is evident that the monks of West Bengal are not taking these accusations lightly and are determined to make their voices heard through this protest.
The controversy arose when Banerjee claimed that certain monks from prominent monastic orders in West Bengal were influenced by the BJP during the elections. This statement was met with criticism from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who accused the Trinamool Congress of using intimidation tactics to sway the monks' votes. However, Banerjee defended her statement by stating that she was referring to specific individuals and not the institutions themselves.
In a shocking turn of events, unidentified individuals entered the premises of the Ramakrishna Mission in Jalpaiguri and threatened the monks and other employees at gunpoint. While a Ramakrishna Mission official suggested that the attack was a result of a property dispute involving local land mafia, the monks have filed a complaint against the perpetrators at Bhaktinagar police station.
This incident has sparked outrage and further solidified the monks' decision to carry out the 'Sant Swabhiman Yatra'. They believe that such acts of violence and the Chief Minister's remarks are a threat to their community and must be condemned. It is evident that the monks of West Bengal are determined to stand up for their rights and ensure that justice is served. The rally in Kolkata is a testament to their unity and determination to fight against any injustice.
