On the state of unrest that had arisen across the state over the Prophet Comment Controversy, Mamata said, "Religion should not be politicised. Ordinary people don't mess with religion. Some political leaders do this type of things. Some greedy leaders spread unrest. I don't read namaz, I go to iftar. If I go to a Durga Puja, a Jain temple, no one asks questions. Rs 1 crore has been provided for the Jain temple."
