Kolkata, Sept 5: The RSS today alleged that a state-owned auditorium here where its chief Mohan Bhagwat was scheduled to attend a programme on October 3 has cancelled the booking for the event.

The move to cancel the booking was condemned by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh(RSS) but the auditorium authorities said renovation and repair work would be undertaken around that time and therefore the facility cannot be provided due to "safety and security reasons."

"This is not the first time that such a move was taken. Earlier also the state(West Bengal) government had done it. We condemn this move," Jishnu Basu, RSS spokesperson in the state, alleged.

A spokesman of the Sister Nivedita 150th birth anniversary celebrations committee, which had booked Mahajati Sadan for the programme, claimed that the auditorium authorities had accepted the booking in June.

"But last week, officials of the auditorium first said that we need police permission. When we informed them that we have already informed the police about the programme, they said that renovation work will be undertaken in the auditorium during the time and our programme could not take place there," said Rantidev Sengupta, the general secretary of the celebration committee.

Sources in the auditorium said that renovation and repair work would be undertaken and therefore the facility cannot be provided for the event due to "safety and security reasons."

The bookings for other organisations during that time have also been cancelled, the sources said.

If Hindus are not allowed to live in their own country India that is Bharatha, where shall we go? Since Nehru's family is a mixture of Christians and Muslims, and ably assisted by Ahmed Patel, there is a plan to hound out Hindus from their own country. In karnataka, Sonia's congress government is planning to close all government schools making way for Christian Missionary schools as per the instructions of Sonia.

Mahajati sadan is n't the Party H/Q of TMC to block any public meeting like that of
RSS/BJP.Democracy can't work at sweetwill of Mamataji.In politics no body is a friend or
foe.Perhaps TMC is counting its last days in power.

West Bengal is fast turning into Darfur area of Sudan, and parts of Syria and Iraq occupied by
ISIS. Basically we have the same Islamic ideology ruling west Bengal as other places
mentioned above. With porous borders we have thousands of Jihadi fighters entering everyday
from Bangladesh. As long as they pay homage to this megalomaniac called Mamta, the Jihadis
are allowed to Rape, murder and pillage at will. It is very strange that this occurs in 21 century
India.
