Controversy after controversy haunts the world’s best SUV, Shakib Al Hasan. The latest controversy is about his visit to Calcutta a few days ago. After the cricket ban was lifted, he opened a shop in Dhaka without following hygiene rules, threw his mobile phone away from a fan on the Benapole border or went to the opening of a bid as a Muslim. It is going through a controversy.
The controversy is not limited to Bangladesh, it has also spread to India. Hindutva activists are raising the question, why did Shakib apologize after going to the puja mandapa? But these controversies would not have happened if a political leader named Paresh Pal had not invited Shakib to Calcutta. Now let us know about this Paresh Pal. The original home of this Trinamool Congress leader is Barisal, his uncle’s home is Bagerhat. Born one year before the partition of India, Paresh Pal’s family left their birthplace as a refugee and moved to India.
Amid the controversy over Shakib, he said: ‘When I go to Bangladesh before Eid-ul-Adha, I go to the cattle market with my Muslim friends to buy cows for the slaughterhouse. What’s new! And if I need an invitation to go to Bangladesh, that is my birthplace. Our original home was in Barisal and I was born in Bagerhat.
They now live in the Kankurgachhi area of eastern Kolkata. Growing up, politics, everything revolves around that area. Although he later became involved in congressional-style politics, he grew up with left-wing RSP leader Makhan Pal. Or think that Makhan Pal from RSP is like his own father. One of Paresh Pal’s sisters got lost on the way to India after partition. He never forgot that sadness. That is why he hosted mass weddings in his area for many years to help helpless and distressed girls.
Trinamool Congressman Sukhendu Shekhar Roy said: “Paresh probably introduced the idea of the first mass marriage in India some 40 years ago. Also, another great initiative of yours is to celebrate Subhash Mela for a month centered on Subhash Chandra’s birthday. And for 10-12 years he has been celebrating Hilsa. Plus, they do Kali Pujo big time. ‘
However, some residents of the Kankurgachhi-Beleghata area say that although there is a positive aspect to the annual mass wedding organized by Paresh Pal, some brides and grooms are seen to get married in the wedding ceremony every year. The idea of the residents of the area is that it is done to increase the number of mass marriages.
The resident, who did not want to be identified, said: ‘The rickshaw shooters and widows from the area were taken away and married in the ceremony. They feed all day. But we know that many marriages do not last more than three or four days. He always likes to give surprises.
Trinamool Congress Leader Sukhendu Shekhar Roy also said: “Whether in politics or social work, the nature of Paresh is to surprise. This is the controversy about Shakib Al Hasan, it seems that he wanted to surprise. Many other bidding committees started with Indian cricketers. But it worked in his head, why should I bring Indian cricketers, will I bring star cricketers from Bangladesh? He is like that ‘.
However, it can be heard in the area that Paresh Pal raised a large amount of money from wealthy residents of the Beleghata-Kankurgachhi area for these “positive” social works. Before the last assembly elections in 2016, the regular income account to be submitted to the Election Commission shows that Paresh Pal has real estate worth Rs 6 lakh, including three residences and real estate such as bank deposits and cars worth from around Rs 40 lakh.
Whatever the source of income, many in the area feel that Paresh Pal extends a helping hand to the locals regardless of their party affiliation. Parash Pal said: ‘I do not understand or accept all these differences between Hindus and Muslims. If you cut your fingers, they will all bleed red.
You can hear other things about Paresh Pal. A Beleghata resident said, on condition of anonymity: “The rumor that Paresh Pal is extending a helping hand regardless of the party is false. Many left-wing activists have left the area or have left politics due to persecution from fellow activists. Parash Pal. There are many examples where he was beaten for questioning any of his activities.
Jayant Chowdhury, a senior reporter from Kolkata who saw Paresh Pal up close, said: ‘Paresh has a team that is active in the area 24 hours a day. When people are in danger, they move forward. Pareshda is very organized in this regard. You probably learned something from the late Trinamool Congress leader Ajit Panjar. Just as he kept the details of his constituency, so did the Pareshdar team. His influence in the Beleghata region is such that he once challenged Mamata Banerjee herself.
After temporarily resigning from the Trinamool Congress, Paresh Pal won the municipal elections by running his own candidate against Mamata Banerjee’s official candidate. On the other hand, although he returned to the Trinamool Congress. He first became a member of the Legislative Assembly on behalf of the Congress party in 1996. The next time he won. With the exception of the intervening five years, he has been elected Beleghata MLA twice in a row since 2011.
Jayant Chowdhury further said: ‘I have never seen Paresh Pal give a speech or raise any issue in the assembly. He stays in his area and comes up with all kinds of weird ideas. Mamata Banerjee once rang the bell for the symbolic death of the Left Front in the Maidan Brigade. The huge bell that was made was also Pareshdar’s idea. He once went to Dharmatala to protest against the spread of mosquito-borne diseases in Kolkata and hung a huge mosquito net on the street. On another occasion they blocked the road with cows and goats.
Despite being in politics for a long time, Paresh Pal did not become a minister and did not obtain any important positions in the party. In the words of Trinamool leader Sukhendu Shekhar Roy, ‘Paresh probably doesn’t even want this. He is not very interested in doing politics or social work outside the area. But that Paresh Palai has now brought Shakib Al Hasan to the inauguration of Kali Puja and has become a hot topic in both countries. Religious extremists have benefited from the environment.
