The symbolic chanting, Jai Shree Ram (Hail Lord Rama), of Hinduism is allegedly annoying the chief minister of West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee, these days. The chanting that makes Hindus feel fearless and determined, is allegedly termed as “abusive” by Banerjee. The latest of this incident came to light after a video started making rounds on social media wherein Banerjee could be seen berserking at a crowd for sloganeering Jai Shree Ram outside her convoy.

“What do you think of yourself? You will come from other states, stay here and abuse us? I will not tolerate this. How dare you all abuse me? All of your names and details will be noted down,” Banerjee could be heard in the video shouting at the people outside her car, reported media reports.
The chief minister of West Bengal then comes back to her front seat of her vehicle after showing her anger to the Jai Shree Ram sloganeers. The same video as plays further shows Banerjee again coming out from her vehicle after people outside her vehicle shout Jai Shree Ram. Banerjee, outside her vehicle, is seen pointing at someone and asking to stop as the person seems to be escaping from the spot. She then turns towards a media reporter and says, “we will take action, we will take action”.

I was booked under 307 because I made a speech the local MLA didn’t like. Had to spend a night in JC,” tweeted Roy after the news of Banerjee admonishing ‘Jai Shree Ram’ chanters went viral.
