In a letter, addressed to the Prime
Minister, the state Chief Minister, Mr.Budhdeb Bhattacharjee has expressed
his displeasure over the practice of chanting of "Saraswati Bandana" at
the beginning of govt. functions and has urged him to stop the practice
immediately. He has categorically mentioned that, it is unethical and unhealthy
for a secular country like India, to follow a particular religious belief.
He has referred to the opening ceremony of "Bharatiyam Cultural Multicomplex"
at Salt Lake, where the Vice President, the Union Human Resource Minister
and himself were present. He mentioned that the incident was embarrassing
not only for him, but also for other secular minded people, present at
the ceremony. The Chief Minister, while reminding the Center to respect
all religious and cultural faiths, has requested the PM to personally look
into the matter and act accordingly.
