He was addressing a public meeting in Kulpi in South 24 Parganas. The Trinamool Congress leader \u2013 Mamata Banerjee\u2019s nephew \u2013 compared women\u2019s freedom, safety and security in Bengal with those of other states, adding that it was not the same especially those ruled by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).<\/p>\n<p>Abhishek Banerjee referred to Bengal BJP president <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/city\/kolkata\/dilips-durga-remark-draws-tmc-insult-fire\/articleshow\/80889253.cms\" data-schema-attribute=\"\"><strong>Dilip Ghosh\u2019s comment on Friday in which he had said<\/strong><\/a>: \u201cBhagvan Ram was a king. Some believe he was an incarnation.\u00a0And you will get to know his 14 ancestors. Will you get the same for Durga? Durga was worshipped by Ram. Even Gandhiji referred to Ram Rajya to harp on good governance.\u201d The Trinamool called the remark \u201cshocking\u201d, adding how Durga could be questioned and disregarded. The party called the comment an \u201cinsult to all Hindus.\u201d In a statement, the party said: \u201cIt is unthinkable. Devi Durga is our mother, strength, inspiration. Those who claim to protect and support Hinduism have insulted Devi Durga.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, Abhishek Banerjee said that this itself indicated that the BJP leaders showed no respect towards women. He said, \u201cDilip Ghosh says Maa Durga has no identity. Such is their treatment of women. Women are oppressed in BJP ruled states.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Trinamool MP called upon those who were involved in Hathras and Unnao rape cases to give appropriate answers.\u00a0He challenged the BJP leaders to say \u201cJai Siya Ram\u201d instead of \u201cJai Shree Ram\u201d.\u00a0\u201cThey do not respect women, and cannot place Sita before Ram, and so they cannot use the slogan Jai Siya Ram,\u201d Abhishek Banerjee said.<\/p>\n<p>Mamata Banerjee and her party leaders have been focusing on women\u2019s empowerment in Bengal, stressing that women in villages can move around in confidence and are in charge of the health insurance scheme, the Swasthya Sathi card, that also offers benefits to the woman\u2019s parents.<\/p>\n<p>Abhishek Banerjee further said, \u201cHere is a woman against whom scores of leaders from all over India, from the BJP all-India president to the Prime Minister, Home Minister, defence minister, cabinet ministers are camped in Bengal, saying, they will make a double engine government.\u00a0The BJP has to use 500 engines to fight one Mamata Banerjee.\u201d He said the Trinamool is here to stay for the next 50 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mamata Banerjee is the only woman chief minister in India, and she is working for women\u2019s empowerment in the state, Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee said on Saturday.
