Mamata Banerjee receives a legal notification from a Bharat Sevashram Sangha monk.

Two days after Mamata Banerjee identified Swami Pradiptananda of Bharat Sevashram Sangha (BSS) and accused several monks of being part of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Banerjee, the chief minister of West Bengal, received a legal summons from BSS demanding an unconditional apology within 48 hours.

Pradiptananda’s attorney Billwadal Bhattacharyya sent a notice stating, “…call upon you [Banerjee] to forthwith address the press and issue an unconditional apology and retract your virulent and malafide statement within 48 hours from receipt of the instant notice and cease and desist from making further similar statements against my client defaming and maligning my client.”

The warning said that Banerjee would be considered to have intended to disseminate the defamatory information widely in order to deliberately and falsely disparage Pradiptanandaand if she did not respond within four days. It further stated that Pradiptananda, also known as Kartick Maharaj and the BSS secretary in Aurangabad, Payradanga (Nadia), and Beldanga (Murshidabad), retains the authority to file criminal charges against Banerjee.

Banerjee stated on Saturday that while she has a lot of respect for monks, not all of them are the same. A BSS unit is located at Berhampore. It’s been a while since I heard of a Maharaj [monk]. His name is Maharaj Kartick. According to him, he won’t permit any TMC electoral agents to enter polling places. His active involvement in politics makes him everything but a monk in my opinion. He is destroying the nation. Banerjee remarked, “I have a lot of respect for Bharat Sevashram Sangha,” during a Hooghly rally.

On Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi called the governing Trinamool Congress (TMC) party’s support base, accusing Banerjee of “bad-mouthing” and “threatening” ISKCON, RKM, and BSS to defend Muslims and infiltrators.

“…the chief minister is defaming and smearing our wonderful organisations in an effort to win votes, thanks to pressure from radical Muslim groups.” Bengal’s history and culture are being disparaged by TMC. They constantly disparage Ram Mandir [in Ayodhya] using foul language. At a rally in Bankura, Modi questioned, “Would you not respond with your votes to TMC’s appeasement politics?”
