Different opinions after Mamata's reaction over 'Jai Shri Ram' slogans

The BJP has made a huge issue of Mamata's refusal to deliver a speech at the 125 birth anniversary celebrations of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose at the Victoria Memorial in Kolkata in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on January 23 as she was miffed at shouting of 'Jai Shri Ram' slogans by a section of the audience.

On the other hand, the Chief Minister alleged that the commemoration function had been reduced to a political one and said that it was not right to invite someone to such an event and then insult him or her. She also talked of maintaining the dignity of the programme.
