ANIWest Bengal CM Suvendu Adhikari said his government would protect 'gaumata' and jail those who insult monks, asserting that the state’s political winds have changed.
Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari on Sunday said his government would protect 'gaumata' and jail anybody who insults monks, while asserting that winds have changed in the state.
Addressing a Bhagavad Gita recital event organised by Bangur Jagaran Mancha at the Netaji Indoor Stadium here, he said there was nothing to fear while following or promoting a faith.
"Recite and distribute the Bhagavad Gita, distribute Hanuman Chalisa without any hesitation. Chant Hare Krishna mantra, blow conches; there is nothing to be scared of. The winds have changed ('mausam badal gaya hai')," he said.

The chief minister further said his government "would imprison those who insult monks".
He also urged the gathering to remain alert against divisive forces.
