Divide and Rule Has Created a Situation Where India is `Not Fine': Mamata

Lamenting that the policy of divide and rule and politics of isolation have created a situation where the country is not fine, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday asked people to unite to change the situation. Participating in Eid-ul-Fitr prayers held on a rain-drenched Red Road here, the chief minister appealed to the people to fight against the power which is trying to divide the country and oppress the people. Without naming her rival, the Bharatiya Janata Party, which she has often accused of trying to divide people on the basis of religion for electoral gains, Banerjee quoted the lines from a song sung by musical icon Lata Mangeshkar Ishwar allah tero naam, sabko sanmati de bhagwan, to underline her point. Referring to the BJP’s rhetoric of achhe din, Banerjee assured people at the gathering of real `achhe din’, not the jhootha ache din.
