Buddhadeb clarifies position on Lord Ram
Staff Reporter
Kolkata: In a written statement issued here on Saturday, the West Bengal Chief Minister, Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee, clarified his position on the existence of Lord Ram.
Mr. Bhattacharjee was referring to the controversy generated by reports in a section of the media (not The Hindu) that said that the Chief Minister, while delivering a public speech on the 15th anniversary of the demolition of the Babri Masjid on Thursday, had said that Lord Ram existed only in the poet’s imagination.
“While addressing a public meeting organised by the government of West Bengal, Sports and Youth Service department, in connection with the 15th anniversary of the demolition of the Babri Masjid, I quoted the following lines from Rabindranath Tagore: ‘Kobi tobo monobhumi Ram er jonmosthan Ayodhya r theke satya jeno’ [the poet’s mind is the birth place of Ram, which is more real than Ayodhya],” the statement said.
A section of the media had taken it out of context, it said.
