Ajit Anjum has been touring round Kolkata forward of the meeting elections in West Bengal, reporting on the temper of the general public. While folks have largely been reluctant to disclose their voting preferences, the ‘journalist’ has properly and actually continued in his makes an attempt to glean any data he can.
However, Ajit Anjum failed spectacularly to forestall his political preferences from colouring his protection of the temper of the general public. While reporting from Bhawanipore, he went as far as to say that Jai Siya Ram is permissible however Jai Shri Ram is objectionable.
The dialogue ensued after one of many people being interviewed stated that there was a change in Mamata Banerjee’s manner and underneath strain from the BJP, she has began taking note of Hindus and Hindi talking residents of the state.
Ajit Anjum, taking a dig on the BJP, remarked in the course of the dialogue that he believed that ‘Jai Shri Ram’ shouldn’t be stated at any political rally by any political occasion to which the person remarked that the opposite aspect says ‘Jai Siya Ram’ which is identical factor.
As quickly as the person stated that, Anjum jumped up saying that ‘Jai Siya Ram’ and ‘Jai Shri Ram’ should not the identical. “Jai Shri Ram is a political slogan and Jai Jai Siya Ram, it is something we have heard since childhood. Mandirs never used to chant ‘Jai Shri Ram’, not even in Ayodhya,” Anjum barked out.
The particular person coolly responded, “Jai Shri Ram has been politicised, Ram is not a political figure. One party would say Jai Shri Ram, the other would say Jai Siya Ram. They have to take Ram’s name, whether alive or dead. Ram is not tied to any political party.”
The fascinating factor to notice right here is that Ajit Anjum has no phrases to supply concerning the truth that Mamata Banerjee has been going round chanting Chandi Paath and Durga Paath at her personal rallies. Furthermore, it’s Mamata Banerjee herself who has sparked the Jai Shri Ram controversy by opposing the slogan.
Shri Ram is a revered Hindu God and none ought to have an issue with Jai Shri Ram slogans simply as no person has an issue with Chandi Paath and Durga Paath at election rallies. However, the ‘journalist’ doesn’t see it that manner.
The folks Anjum interviewed at Bhawanipore, Mamata Banerjee’s constituency, appeared reluctant to say who they have been voting for. However, they did admit, at the very least publicly, that they imagine Mamata Banerjee will return to energy on the 2nd of May. Nonetheless, that’s not indicative of their voting preferences itself as a result of their phrases in the course of the interview made it evident that they have been sad with the ruling dispensation.
