In a bizarre clash of gods, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) is planning to organise a session to worship Lord Hanuman to counter the RSS’ aggressive Ram Navami celebrations in West Bengal. According to a report in India Today, while RSS and other Sangh Parivar outfits took out processions across the state, the TMC aims to counter that by celebrating Lord Hanuman. 

The procession will reportedly be led by TMC’s Anubrata Mondal who had announced on Tuesday that his party’s men would worship Hanuman during Ram Navami celebrations. He was quoted saying: “There are 127 Bajrangbali (other name for Hanuman) temples in Birbhum district. On Wednesday evening in each of the temples, puja will be held. All our legislators and other party leaders and workers will take part. We will worship Bajrangbali everywhere.”

RSS and Sangh Parivar celebrate Ram Navami in West Bengal

To strengthen its organisation in West Bengal and 'unite' Hindus, RSS and various Sangh Parivar outfits organised serveral Ram Navami processions across the state which were supported by the BJP. Activists of Sangh parivar carried saffron flags and posters of Lord Ram in the processions shouting 'Jai Sri Ram' slogan. Posters were seen pledging construction of Ram Mandir at Ayodhya.

In the metropolis, 22 Ram Navami processions were organised by the Sangh Parivar members. Ram Navami processions were also taken out in Siliguri, Birbhum and some other places in the state.

"The response from the common people was very good," said a senior RSS functionary. Police said there was no report of any untoward incident from anywhere in the state regarding Ram Navami processions. "It is a religious festival but through this we plan to unite the Hindus against the fundamentalist forces," a RSS functionary said.

"Fundamentalist forces have increased across Bengal. Several bordering districts are witnessing huge demographic imbalance due to infiltration," Bidyut Mukherjee, the organisational secretary of RSS, West Bengal and Andaman and Nicobar Islands, has said.

Expressing support to the RSS programme, state BJP president Dilip Ghosh had said, "We fully support such programme to celebrate Ram Navami. It will help people to unite against the anti-national forces and vote bank politics".

RSS had passed a resolution at its recent Coimbatore Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha expressing concern over the 'growing Jehadi activities' and the 'declining' Hindu population in West Bengal.
