A leader from BJP Maharashtra has filed a complaint against Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for disrespecting our ‘National Anthem’. While singing the National Anthem during a press conference in Mumbai, Mamata Banerjee did not complete the anthem and sat down midway.
Till now, there has been no official statement by Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee after being accused for disrespecting national anthem. Rather, Banerjee spoke to the reporters and slammed UPA." What is UPA? There is no UPA," said West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday.
The West Bengal BJP unit noticed this and raised their voice against this. They wrote on Twitter, "Mamata Banerjee was sitting down at first then stood up and stopped singing halfway the national anthem of India. Today, as a Chief Minister, she has insulted the culture of Bengal, the national anthem and the country, and Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore!"
Dr Sukanta Majumdar, BJP West Bengal State President, said, “Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee sitting at a constitution post insults National Anthem at a gathering in Mumbai. Doesn’t she know proper National Anthem etiquette, or is she insulting knowingly?”
BJP leader Amit Malviya tweeted, "Our national anthem is one of the most powerful manifestations of our national identity. The least people holding public office can do is not demean it. Here is a mutilated version of our national anthem sung by Bengal CM. Is India`s opposition so bereft of pride and patriotism?"

Tejasvi Surya, National President of BJP Yuva Morcha, tweeted, "Here we have a Chief Minister, who fails to respect our National Anthem. Expecting the opposition parties to respect Bharat and its values is a lot to ask for these days. This deplorable behaviour from a Constitutional Authority is extremely shameful and condemnable."
