Saffron waves hit WB on Ram Navami, TMC worships Hanuman, holds peace rally
A large number of right wing activists took part in those rallies, which were organized in Kolkata and several other districts of the state, carrying swords and other sharp weapons, according to reports.
RSS leaders said that they would celebrate the birth of god Rama throughout the running week.
State's ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) worshiped Hanuman, an ardent devotee of Rama, across the state, specially at Suri area in Birbhum district where RSS and VHP held a massive Ram Navami rally.
TMC activists also hosted peace march in several districts of Bengal on Wednesday against BJP and RSS's alleged practice of hurting communal harmony, reports said.
Meanwhile, alleging that RSS and BJP are spreading communal politics in the state through Ram Navami celebration, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee attacked the ruling party of India.
"Ram Navami is not your own festival, don't try to practice communal politics here. Festivals of all religions are practiced here in Bengal," Mamata Banerjee said, during a meeting in Bankura district of West Bengal.
