西孟加拉邦首席部长玛玛塔·班纳吉：国家正在经历黑暗时期

KOLKATA: Chief minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday remembered a fivedecade-old popular Bengali film song to stress that the country was passing though “dark times” and “unity” was the need of the hour as she threw open the Christmas festivities at Allen Park on Park Street.

“Aami ondhokarer jatri, probhu aalor drishti daao (I am passing through darkness, Almighty lead me to light),” Banerjee quoted from the Asha Bhosle number and harped on the need for unity and peace. “Let there be peace. Peace must exst in the world. Different religions may have different gu-rus but we don’t believe in division. We don’t divide, we unite. Unity is our strength and division is dangerous,”she said.

The CM also asked tourism minister Babul Supriyo and junior information and culture minister Indranil Sen — both accomplished singers — to remember other popular Bengali film songs from the Seventies and Eighties dedicated to Jesus Christ like Mangal dweep jele and Biswapita tumi he probhu and sing them like Christmas carols and spread their message among people.

“These songs are just like Christmas carols and should be propagated among all,” she said as Supriyo could recall only the first few lines of Biswapita tumi he probhu , which he sung while kicking off the event.

周三，首席部长玛玛塔·班纳吉在公园街的艾伦公园举行圣诞庆祝活动时，提到了50年前流行的一首孟加拉电影主题曲，强调国家正处于“黑暗时期”，当务之急是“众志成城”。

“Aami ondhokarer jatri, probhu aalor drishti daao(我正在穿越黑暗，万能的主带我走向光明)，”班纳吉用阿沙·波斯勒的歌曲，多次强调团结与和平的重要性。“让和平降临吧。和平肯定存在于这个世界。不同的宗教有不同的领袖，但我们不相信分裂。我们不要分裂，我们要团结。团结就是我们的力量，而分裂是非常危险的。”

首席部长还要求旅游部长巴布·苏普日亚及信息和文化部长因德尼尔·达斯——都曾是名噪一时的歌手——回忆七八十年代献给耶稣基督的其他流行孟加拉电影歌曲，如Mangal dweep jele和Biswapita tumi he probhu，像圣诞颂歌一样咏唱，并在民众中传播耶稣的思想。

“这些歌曲跟圣诞颂歌一样，应该在群众之间传播，”她说，因为苏普日亚只记得Biswapita tumi he probhu这首歌的前几句，于是他在活动开始时唱起了这首歌。

Chief minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday attended an event at St Xavier’s College, where she unveiled a replica of the outer wall of St Peters’ Basilica and offered prayers to Jesus Christ before taking the dais.

“I believe in the message of Jesus Christ to never neglect the poor, downtrodden and marginalised. Don’t deny power to poor people. I will never bow my head to insolent minds. I will always work for farmers, workers, downtrodden and students. I love all my students, they are the future of our country,” she said.

Banerjee added that once December 25 used to be a national holiday.

“But the current government at the Centre doesn’t acknowledge it as a national holiday. However, since December 25 has fallen on a Sunday, we have announced December 26 as a holiday so that you can celebrate more,” she said.

Terming St Xavier’s a unique institute with a very powerful alumni spread across the world, the CM appealed to them to spread the message of unity and love.

Addressing students present at the programme, she said, “Be cool, be positive, be constructive and keep smilingno matter what comes in your way. If you see a smiling face, your heart will also smile and will be filled with confidence. You should smile to avoid depression and avoid negativity. And we should all think, walk and work for unity. ”

周三，首席部长玛玛塔·班纳吉出席了圣泽维尔学院举行的一场活动，她为圣彼得大教堂外墙的复制品揭幕，并在走上讲台前向耶稣基督祈祷。

“我相信耶稣基督的口信，决不能对穷人、受压迫和被边缘化的人不管不顾。不能剥夺穷人的权力。我决不向傲慢的人低头。我将永远为农民、工人、受压迫者和学生工作。我爱我所有的学生，他们是我们国家的未来。”

班纳吉补充说，12月25日曾经是国家假日。

“但现任中央政府不承认这个全国性节日。但鉴于12月25日是周日，所以我们把12月26日定为假日，这样大家就可以多庆祝一天。”

称圣泽维尔是一所很特别的学院，校友遍布世界各地，首席部长呼吁他们传播团结和爱的信息。

她在演讲中对在场的学生说:“无论遇到什么困难，都要冷静、积极、保持微笑。如果你们看到一张笑脸，你们的心也会跟着微笑，充满自信。你们应该多笑笑，对抗抑郁和消极情绪。我们都应该团结起来。”

Cant believe she is still in power. WB folks wake up!
