West Bengal (The Stellar News) Saksham Kalia: Allegations against the Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen for allegedly occupying university land, has turned into a political row as University issued a statement against the Mamta Banerjee and calling it, Better off and said, “ we are used to the guidance of PM Narendra Modi”.
University in an issued statement said, “Visva Bharati is a central university. We are better off without your blessings because we are used to the margdarshan (guidance) of the Prime Minister.”
The statement was signed by Visva-Bharati spokesperson Mahua Banerjee.
“We would like to request the chief minister to stop seeing through her ears and use her brain. Your favourite disciple (Anubrata Mondal), without whom you cannot imagine Birbhum, is also languishing in jail,” the statement said.
The whole matter kicks off after the West Bengal Chief Minister Mamta Benerjee came in the support of Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen and presented state government documents of land showing the land was indeed given to Amartya Sen by her father Ashutosh Sen and there was no illegal occupation as alleged by the University.
Chief Minister earlier said that, “I want to tell the truth based on information and that’s why I have rushed here. You can say, for the disrespect meted out to him, I am handing over these papers to Respected Amartya Sen. In the future, the BJP should not try to disrespect him like this and some pro-BJP saffronised personalities also should not do this is what I have to say.”
