TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee makes shocking 'Saffron Rapist' remark; outraged BJP lashes out

On Sunday, BJP leader and former Tripura and Meghalaya Governor Tathagatha Roy accused Trinamool Congress MP Kalyan Banerjee of using derogatory remarks against Hindu deity Goddess Sita. Posting a video on Twitter, Roy asked if Banerjee is Hindu and stated that he has insulted the religion by uttering such disgraceful words. In the video, Kalyan Banerjee is heard and seen saying, "Goddess Sita told Lord Ram that it was better that she was abducted by Ravana, because if his followers in Saffron would have abducted her, then her fate would be same as Hathras rape victim." Slamming Kalyan Banerjee, BJP's poll in-charge Kailash Vijayvargiya said that TMC is rattled due to the popularity of BJP. He said, "All these are rubbish and foolish remarks. I would not even react to it because this kind of rubbish is said by rubbish people. I would just want to advise that they should go to a psychiatrist." Know this man? Kalyan Banerjee,a Trinamool MP with a Hindu Brahmin name. He's saying,"Sitaji tells Rama,I'm lucky that I was kidnapped by Ravana. If it was your chelas wearing bhagwa headgear,my state would have been like the raped woman of Hathras".
