Join Mamata Banerjee’s historic interfaith rally in Kolkata, fostering unity amidst Ayodhya Temple inauguration. Diverse religious backgrounds come together in this celebration of harmony.
In a unique display of interfaith harmony, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is set to lead a rally across Kolkata on January 22, coinciding with the inauguration of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. The event aims to bring together people from diverse religious backgrounds, covering mosques, temples, churches, and gurdwaras along its route.
Banerjee, who is also the Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo, revealed her plans, stating, “I will do a rally on January 22. It will begin from Kali Mandir, where only I will visit to offer prayers to Maa Kaali. Following that, we will hold an interfaith rally from Hazra to Park Circus Maidan and hold a meeting there. We will cover mosques, temples, churches, and gurdwaras along the way. Everybody is welcome to join the rally. People of all faiths will be there at the rally.”
Highlighting the inclusive nature of the event, Banerjee emphasized, “Many people have been asking me about various temples, but I have nothing to say. I have always said Dhorma Jaar Jaar, Utsob Shobaar (Religion is personal, festival is universal).”
Additionally, on the same day, TMC party members are slated to hold rallies in every block and district at 3 pm, ensuring widespread participation in the festivities.
