Kolkata:<\/strong> West Bengal\u2019s political discourse has plunged to a new low after Trinamool Congress (TMC) MLA Madan Mitra made remarks questioning the Hindu identity of Bhagwan Ram, calling Him a Muslim and mockingly asking, \u201cWhat is the surname of Bhagwan Ram?\u201d The comments, captured in a now-viral video, have ignited massive outrage across the country and reinforced long-standing allegations that the Mamata Banerjee\u2013led TMC has institutionalised anti-Hindu rhetoric and minority appeasement as a political strategy.<\/p>\n While the TMC has tried to portray the controversy as a distortion by political opponents, critics argue that the episode is merely the latest manifestation of a decade-long pattern one that has repeatedly undermined Hindu beliefs, traditions, and cultural identity in Bengal.<\/p>\n In the controversial speech, delivered in Bengali at a public gathering, Madan Mitra began by reciting a Hindu shloka only to follow it up with comments that many saw as deeply offensive and deliberately provocative. Claiming that Bhagwan Ram was a Muslim, Mitra challenged BJP leaders to prove otherwise by asking for Ram\u2019s \u201csurname,\u201d an argument that critics have described as both theologically ignorant and intentionally insulting.<\/p>\n Madan Mitra, a TMC leader and close aide of Mamata Banerjee, known for his rather colourful lifestyle, has now openly insulted Bhagwan Ram and called Him a Muslim. He has even asked, \u201cWhat is the surname of Lord Ram?\u201d<\/p>\n Earlier, Kolkata Mayor Firhad Hakim called being born a Hindu\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/xo8bRcpxgu<\/a><\/p>\n\n
