After returning to Kolkata, Mamta Banerjee attended a function at the Dakshineswar temple. He inaugurated the Light and Sound Show there. Speaking from the program, the Chief Minister said, “A skywalk worth Rs 300 crore is being built in Kalighat like Dakshineshwar. A lot of work has been done on religion in whole Bengal. KMDA will give another Rs 10 crore to complete the construction of guest house at Dakshineswar. Work. Bengal does not beg anyone.” Mamata also launched a museum and project on Thursday after visiting the Dakshineswar temple and offering prayers. He also published a book containing the history and pictures of Dakshineswar.
On the state of unrest created across the state over the Prophet’s remark controversy, Mamata said, “Religion should not be politicised. Common people don’t play with religion. Some political leaders do such things. Some greedy leaders do.” They create unrest. I don’t offer Namaz, I go to Iftar. If I go to Durga Puja, Jain temple, no one asks questions. Rs 1 crore has been provided for Jain temple.”
