Adhikari targets ‘Azadi’ slogans, JU wall writing
Kolkata - West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari criticized those raising Azadi slogans and questioned the writing of Red Salute Kishanji on the walls of Jadavpur University. During a Raksha Bandhan program in his Bhabanipur constituency, Adhikari discussed patriotism, the state's role in the freedom struggle, and the sacrifices of freedom fighters.
He also addressed the issue of anti-national elements attempting to weaken the country from within. Adhikari expressed his disapproval of Azadi slogans on Kolkata streets and references to Kashmir, questioning their meaning when the country had already gained independence. He further questioned the writing of Red Salute Kishanji on the university walls, referring to Kishanji as someone who demanded the country's partition and did not accept the Constitution.
Adhikari urged those opposing the complete rendition of Vande Mataram to take a pledge to eliminate such elements, comparing them to household garbage. Later, Adhikari participated in a procession and a kirtan in front of TMC leader and former Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee's residence.
