News Desk: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has said that the legacy of the country is unity in diversity and that “we must preserve this to our last breath”.
Ms. Banerjee’s remarks on social media came on a day Prime Minister Narendra Modi took part in the ground-breaking ceremonyfor the construction of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya.
The Chief Minister, however, did not refer to the ground-breaking ceremony in Ayodhya. The Trinamool Congress leadership has remained silent on the Supreme Court order on the construction of the temple and the related developments.
The West Bengal government is observing a total lockdown during the day to prevent the spread of COVID-19 pandemic. The State Bharatiya Janata Party leadership has called for revoking the lockdown in view of the ceremony in Ayodhya.
