The chief minister had on Wednesday lashed out at Adhikari over his controversial remarks, and accused the BJP of importing “fake Hinduism” into the state.Adhir Chowdhury also alleged that there was total lawlessness in Bengal under Banerjee.”Societal, political, financial and administrative vandalism is underway in the state under her leadership,” he claimed.He took exception to an order,by the chairman of the Nabadwip municipal body in Nadia district, which appealed to residents of the town to consume vegetarian food for three days during Holi, popularly known as ‘Dol Utsav’ there.Biman Kumar Saha, the town’s municipal body chairman, had urged all concerned to ensure that non-vegetarian food is not sold or cooked during the festival.”She (Banerjee) has stopped the sale of fish and meat in Nabadwip to make people happy.We have seen such things in BJP-ruled states. And to appease the Muslims, she is holding Iftar parties at the expense of government money.”In future, she may someday ask Muslims not to hold their prayers because Holi is celebrated on a Friday,” the former Pradesh Congress Committee president said.He was also critical of the Kolkata Police’s proposal to set up an outpost inside the Jadavpur University campus, alleging that it was a ploy of the state administration to tame protests at varsities.”There is no logic behind the decision to set up a police outpost there. This seems to be an attempt to create an atmosphere where students are seen either as anti-socials or terrorists,” he claimed.
