Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee Saturday refused to address a programme being held to celebrate the 125th birth anniversary of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, citing “humiliation”.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Governor Jagdeep Dhankar were also present at the event in Kolkata’s famous Victoria Memorial.

Banerjee refused to speak at the event after a section from the audience shouted ‘Jai Shri Ram’ when Banerjee was about to deliver her speech. She, however, didn’t walk out of the venue.

“This is a government programme and there must be some decorum and discipline here. It should have some dignity,” she said. 

“It is not a political programme. You cannot invite people here and insult them. I am invited and humiliated. In protest, I am not saying anything (referring to her speech),” she said and went back to her seat.

Banerjee held various state government’s programmes related to Netaji’s birthday celebrations Saturday before reaching the Victoria Memorial to attend the central government’s programme.

Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose would have been proud of the way India is helping other countries during the coronavirus pandemic, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday in Kolkata as he raced West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to honour the Independence movement icon on his 124th birth anniversary. 

The PM and the Chief Minister made a rare joint appearance at the city's Victoria Memorial to launch an exhibition to honour Netaji but Ms Banerjee cancelled her speech after being heckled by supporters of the BJP with chants of "Jai Shri Ram". With West Bengal elections just a few months away, honouring the Netaji this year has become vital for political points.
