Basu said “The Sangh is unhappy with what happened. Those who raised the slogan neither showed respect to Netaji nor showed respect to Ram. The event was held to pay homage to Netaji. Those who shouted ‘Jai Shri Ram’ must be identified. The party (Bharatiya Janata Party) must find out who were involved and whether this was an act of sabotage of some sort.”
