Speaking to NDTV, Sen also said that she did not agree with the political use of a religious chant. “Having said that, it (India) is a democracy and people have the right to freedom of expression, you cannot stop them, and I don’t like the way Mamata got out of the car and tried to stop them (the people chanting the slogans),” she added.
