Amid SIR controversy, Mamata reaches out to Matua community

Against this backdrop, Mamata posted a message on social media on March 5 marking the death anniversary of Veenapani Devi, revered among Matuas as “Baroma—the community’s supreme.” In her tribute, the Chief Minister honoured the spiritual leader and reiterated her government’s commitment to the welfare and dignity of the Matua community.
