Mamata digging her own grave: Aparna Sen

Filmmaker Aparna Sen on Tuesday held that Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee could be digging her own grave with her “kneejerk” reaction to BJP’s ‘Jai Shri Ram’ campaign.
At the same time, Sen also expressed her concern about mixing politics with religion and nationalism with Hindutva. In an interview to a private TV channel, she said: “I didn’t like the way our CM got out of the car and tried to stop them and used abusive language. That doesn’t behove her.”
“She’s turning her voters against herself. She’s digging her own grave,” she added. “... I am sure Mr Modi (Prime Minister Narendra Modi) will make a real effort to set things right. But their basic idea is of equating nationalism with Hinduism... the Savarkar brand of nationalism that worries me. I would much rather go with Gandhi’s pluralism,” Sen said.
