The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) slammed Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Mehboob Mallik for allegedly heckling Bengali singer Lagnajita Chakraborty<\/a><\/strong> for singing a religious song related to Durga Puja during a live performance at a private school in Purba Medinipur.<\/p>\n

The controversy came after Chakraborty alleged that she was abused and nearly assaulted during the live performance for singing the song \u2018Jago Ma\u2019, which was released during the last Durga Puja. She filed a police complaint, where she identified Mehboob Mallik, one of the owners of the school, for allegedly abusing and nearly assaulting her.<\/p>\n

After the incident sparked outrage, BJP spokesperson Pradip Bhandari accused the TMC of suppressing Hindu chants and hurting the religious sentiments of millions of Bengalis.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Jago Ma\u2019 silenced in Bengal. Famous Bengali Singer Lagnajita Chakraborty was heckled and abused for singing a Durga Maa song \u2014 declared \u201cnot secular enough” by a TMC neta. TMC NETA Mahboob Malik, abused her on stage,” he said on X.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe same \u201cJoy Maa” that Bengalis chant for Maa Kali is now deemed offensive. The same \u2018 JOY MAA\u2019 chants that millions of Bengali use to pay their devotion to Maa Kaali. TMC IS NOW DIRECTLY SUPRESSING HINDU CHANT USED FOR PRAYING TO MAA KALI. Bengali Asmita reduced to a TRIFLE!” he added.<\/p>\n

What Are Chakraborty\u2019s Allegations?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chakraborty said that while she was performing at South Point Public School, the event began smoothly until she finished singing the seventh song on her list, which was religious in nature. \u201cThe seventh song I had just completed was \u2018Jago Ma\u2019 from the film Debi Choudhurani, which was released during the last Durga Puja,” she said in her police complaint.<\/p>\n

She then described how a man suddenly rushed onto the stage. \u201cAfter finishing this song, while I was talking to the audience before starting the eighth song, the man suddenly ran onto the stage and came very close to me -almost up to my lips. At that point, 2\u20133 people stopped him. I do not know who they were,” she wrote.<\/p>\n

The singer said the man attempted to physically assault her. \u201cAlthough he attempted to hit me, he could not do so because he was restrained,” she said. \u201cWhen he failed to hit me and was being taken off the stage, he shouted, \u2018There has been enough \u2018Jago Ma\u2019; now sing something secular\u2019.”<\/p>\n

Chakraborty said the comment was clearly heard by everyone present and she decided to stop the show immediately. She lodged a police complaint and named Mehboob Mallik as the accused, saying he is also a member of the school\u2019s governing body.<\/p>\n

Police confirmed that a man has been arrested in connection with the incident. An investigation is ongoing based on the singer\u2019s complaint and statements from those present at the venue.<\/p>\n
