One world

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has been vocal in her attack against cow census, beef ban - almost anything that might affect the sentiment of minority communities.
Her statement, "I eat veg, someone eats chicken, someone may have cow meat. What is wrong in it? It is a personal choice," had earned her much praise on social media.
Now she has penned a theme song "Prithibi ektai desh (the world is but one country)" for Durga puja which will be played at Suruchi Sangha, a Kolkata puja adopted by Minister for North Bengal Development Aroop Biswas. Last year, too, secularism was the theme for Banerjee's Durga puja song.
