Brigade parade ground: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday called for a large rally at Brigade Parade Ground in Kolkata on March 10. Interestingly, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday addressed a public meeting at Barasat in North 24 Parganas district of West Bengal.
Chief Minister Banerjee said in a social media post that the “Bohiragoto Jomidars” (foreign landlords), meaning the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), should not consider the patience and courtesy of Bengalis as weakness.
“The patience and courtesy of Bengalis should NOT be mistaken for their weakness. The Bohiragoto Jomidars must be reminded of this on March 10. The #JonogorjonSabha at Brigade Ground this Sunday will be a historic event for the country that has always fought for its rights. Join us as we lead the people’s movement for the secure future of Bengal. Bengal will show the way,” she wrote on X.

Mamata Banerjee also shared a video message with this post in which she appeals to people of the state to gather in large numbers at the Brigade Parade Ground.
“We will protest against the manner in which Bengal and its people are being deprived by cutting off funds for road construction, house construction, hundred-day work, health programs and various other programs. They are trying to create a distorted environment in Bengal which is against the Bengali ethos,” the CM said while pointing out that people of Bengal do not discriminate on the basis of religion and accept people from multiple cultures.
“Bengal is the cultural capital of India and shows respect for all cultures. We say that although people have individual beliefs, everyone can share the festivities surrounding them. We do not discriminate among ourselves. We cannot accept how they are conspiring to divide Bengal and end Bengali culture,” the chief minister said.
“I love all cultures, be it Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, Jain, Parsi, Muslim and Christian. We love everyone. We treat everyone as one among us. But if you humiliate Bengalis, it means humiliating those who stay here,” she added.
Banerjee said that just as Bengal showed India the way forward during the freedom struggle, it will also do the same.
“Bengal has shown the way to the freedom struggle, to the renaissance of India. Bengal has contributed to the progress of the country. There is a conspiracy to tear this Bengali consciousness to pieces. Let us unite against this conspiracy for one day,” the Prime Minister said.
