Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari demanded an apology from Congress leader Sonia Gandhi on Sunday for disrespecting Vande Mataram at the party headquarters on Independence Day. Accusing the Congress of indulging in 'appeasement politics', Adhikari called for an apology. "Enter Bengal is fuming as Congress has disrespected Rishi Bankim Chandra Chatterjee.
This is an insult to nationalism. The people of India have seen this. As a Chief Minister of Bengal I am condemning this act," Adhikari stated. The demand for an apology followed a letter written by BJP Naihati MLA Sumitro Chatterjee, who is a relative of Bankim Chandra Chatterjee, to both Sonia Gandhi and Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge.
Sumitro expressed hurt at Congress' disrespect towards Bankim Chandra Chatterjee, stating, "Vande Mataram is not merely a mantra, but a religion of love for the country."
