Why is secular lobby silent over arrest of few people in Bengal for chanting "Jai Shri Ram"?

Umang, you have raised a good point. The secular brigade who also happens to be the strong advocates of freedom of expression are silent because this event does not suit them at all. Secularism is threatened when Hindus harass Muslims or some such thing but it is threatened at all nor is the freedom of expression threatened when a pro-Muslim CM tortures and imprisons a bunch of Hindus wrongly.

There are conflicting reports about this , while some people say that they were disrupting Mamats speech by chanting the slogans , in which case they can be booked for civil disturbance 

Mamta Banerjee's continuous Anti-Hindu stand whether it is against Durga Pooja or Saraswati Pooja has left no doubt that she doesn't believe in secularism and democracy. She's so blind in vote bank politics that she now even doesn't care about Supreme Court's warning for communal behavior. 

By the way, this is not the first instance where Jhehadi didi has got problem with "Jai Shri Ram".

It is possible that some peoples done it to disrupt Mamta speech. It is common  here to raid slogan and hosting black flags during speech. But for it arresting is not fair. 

Mamata said people chanting Jai Shri Ram are outsiders. Let me ask Mamata didi (popularly known as Mumtaz didi) if we can't say Jai Shri Ram in India then should we go and chant it out in Pakistan?

Interestingly, the Bengal government has formed a separate team that will propagate Jai Hind. Therefore, under the circumstances, it's now Jai shri Ram vs Jai Hind in West Bengal.

Actually the video that I have seen clearly shows that the people started chanting Jai Shreeram as she started to sit in her car and depart from that place. She got so angry upon hearing the chants that she made the driver stop the car, alight from it and strode towards the people chanting making rude gestures with her hands and screaming at the top of her voice saying that they are outsiders and I will have them arrested and skinned alive. There is no confusion about what exactly happened.

Actually she doesn't want to annoy her supporters (from across the border which are in a large number in the state) that's the reason she is allergic to Jai Sri Ram. She thinks that people chanting this slogan are not Bengalis but come from other Indian states. She never allows Hindu functions or prefer other religious celebration over the Hindu functions including Durga Puja.

She also is claimed to have either one or both parents who are Muslims and she took up Hindu name only for political purposes in the beginning. Whatever that may be, she is hardcore Hindu hater. today I read news that there people planning to send 10 lakh postcards to her on which Jai Shriram will be written. Would really like to see her face now.

It doesn't matter what is her view on who is Bengali and who is not. She's Chief Minister which is a constitutional post and she's bound to protect fundamental rights of people which includes freedom of pray and prophase choice of religion.

Despite pulled up by Supreme Court on several occasions in cases of her communal conducts, she haven't deterred herself from hating Hindus and Hinduism. It's not only unconditional but also disrespecting Supreme Court as well. It is Hypocrisy.
