NEW DELHI: The Bharatiya Janata Party slammed Mamata Banerjee over a viral video of the ‘Kaaba in my heart’ song being sung at a Durga Pandal, and the West Bengal chief minister clapping to it and said that this is the limit of appeasement politics. A video, shared by BJP IT cell chief Amit Malviya, showed Trinamool Congress MLA Madan Mitra singing inside a Durga Puja pandal in West Bengal’s Kolkata. In the video, the lawmaker can be heard singing, “There’s Kaba in my heart and Medina in my eyes.” Mamata Banerjee can be seen clapping and enjoying the performance.Reacting to the video, BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi asked whether the landmines are being spread to fight and attack the ‘Shakti’ of Hinduism and uproot Hinduism?While talking to ANI, Trivedi said, “When the entire nation is celebrating Navratri, malign thoughts and suspicious emotions of INDI Allaince leaders are surfacing. In March 2014, Rahul Gandhi said that he needs to fight the ‘Shakti’ in Hinduism. Looks like the attack on that ‘Shakti’ has begun during this Navratri. Recently, the Karnataka government made Banu Mushtaq offer prayers in a Devi temple.” “Today, WB CM Mamata Banerjee, in a Durga Pandal, clapped and enjoyed a song ‘Dil mein Kaaba, nazar mein Madeena’… There is no issue with it, but what is suspicious is why it is being sung in a Durga Pandal, during Navratri, in the presence of the WB CM… Are landmines being spread to fight and attack the ‘Shakti’ of Hinduism and uproot Hinduism?… Singing a song of another religion during Puja is secular for them… This is the limit to secure the radical votes, and the nation needs to be aware of this… This is the limit of appeasement politics,” he added. Earlier, while sharing the video, Amit Malviya took to his account and criticised Mamata Banerjee over the video. He claimed that the West Bengal CM inaugurated several puja pandals wearing a hijab during the inauspicious Pitru Paksha. “This is how Sanatan Dharma and Sanatani beliefs are being trampled in West Bengal. Hindus in the state must rise to protect their traditions; otherwise nothing will be left to defend, and they will be at the mercy of rampaging jihad, consequences of which are visible across Bangladesh,” he said in a post on X.
