Mamata Banerjee Slams Kesari Chapter 2

Let us tell you that Mamata Banerjee, while talking to X, said that the changes made in the film are 'an attack on the Bengali language and also an insult to the freedom fighter'. The Chief Minister of West Bengal (Mamata Banerjee Slams Akshay Kumar Kesari 2) wrote on X, "Let me write something. Recently, revolutionary Khudiram was called 'Singh' in a Hindi film. Why are those who gave their lives for freedom being insulted? Will the language-terrorists now drag the name of that leading immortal revolutionary Khudiram as well? Our indomitable youth of Medinipur has been portrayed as a boy from Punjab. Unbearable! But we have always paid tribute to this person, a symbol of patriotism and supreme sacrifice."

Mamata Banerjee said this

Continuing her point, Mamata Banerjee further said, "In the memory of Khudiram Bose (freedom fighter Khudiram Bose), we have established Mahabani Development Authority for the development of Mahabani and its surrounding areas. Not only in his birthplace Medinipur, but in honor of this great revolutionary, we have also named a metro station in Kolkata after him. We are proud".

Freedom fighter Khudiram Bose was hanged on 11 August 1908 (At what age was Khudiram Bose hanged)

Freedom fighter Khudiram Bose, best remembered for his role in the Muzaffarpur bomb blast, was hanged on 11 August 1908 when he was just 18 years old. Mamata Banerjee accused the film of erasing his roots. She posted, "Our indomitable teenager from Midnapore has been shown as a son of Punjab. Unbearable! But we have always paid tribute to this man who epitomised patriotism and supreme sacrifice."

FIR has been filed against the makers 

For your information, let us tell you that the makers had faced these criticisms earlier as well. In June, an FIR was lodged against the makers at the Bidhannagar South Police Station for misrepresenting Khudiram Bose as "Khudiram Singh" and portraying Amritsar's Barindra Kumar Ghosh as "Birendra Kumar". The Akshay Kumar-starrer is now facing fresh criticism after Banerjee's remarks.
