Visva Bharati University: ‘Visva-Bharati External Occupation’, Mamata Returns Important Road in Residential Complaint: State Government Returned Shantiniketan-Sriniketan Road from Visva Bharati University

This time the digital desktop: Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had previously criticized the Visva-Bharati authorities and the Center for insulting Nobel Prize-winning economist Amartya Sen. He also reported that he is next to Amartya Sen. In a letter to Amartya on Friday, the prime minister explained that he too was involved in Amartya’s fight against “intolerance” and “totalitarian dictatorship.” And this time the state government also came into direct conflict with Visva-Bharati. The state government resumed the Visva-Bharati highway. PWD ceded the right of the road from Kach Mandir to Kalisai to Visva-Bharati. He announced that he would retake the road after the Chief Minister went to Bolpur the same day. However, the state government got back on track due to complaints from Visva-Bharati residents. This road connects Santiniketan and Sriniketan. Due to the long occupation of Visva-Bharati, that path became almost forbidden for ordinary people. The locals are also happy with the decision.

On the same day, Mamata said: ‘Visva-Bharati is now in the hands of outsiders. Amartya Sen, Rabindranath Tagore are all the pride of our Bengal. And now that Bengali culture is being repeatedly attacked. They are attacking me, people like Amartya Sen are also being attacked. The culture of Bengal is being hit. I am not calling the people of the country foreigners. But the BJP has imported this culture. But I keep saying, if we target the culture of Bengal, we will not remain silent.

The Chief Minister has already expressed his disgust at the way in which it attempts to tarnish Amartya’s family ties to Santiniketan. Addressing the Nobel Prize-winning economist as ‘Respected Amartyada’, she wrote: ‘In this fight you can consider me your sister and friend.’ Amartya Sen also thanked the Chief Minister for responding to his letter.

The statements by Visva-Bharati Deputy Foreign Minister Bidyut Chakraborty about the eviction of street vendors in front of Amartya ‘Pratichi’ house in Santiniketan have generated controversy. Some BJP leaders have also accused Amartya of land grabbing. Mamata sees the whole thing as an insult to Bengalis. “We all know your family’s deep and innate connection to Santiniketan,” he said in a letter to famous economists at Santipiket in Santiniketan. His grandfather and renowned educator Kshitimohan Sen was one of the first residents of Santiniketan. His father Ashutosh Sen was a renowned educator and administrator. He was the one who built the western house about eighty years ago. In a sense, her family is deeply involved in the culture and traditions of Santiniketan ‘.

Last Thursday, Mamata had denounced in Navanne that Amartya was being accused of being ideologically anti-BJP, occupying land and establishing street vendors. He also wrote in the letter: “I express my solidarity in your fight against intolerance, intolerance and the blind faith of the majority in this country. That fight of yours has made you an enemy of evil and false forces. That is why some uninvited raiders in Visva-Bharati have been making extremely baseless accusations about their family’s property lately. It is very painful for me. We will not bow our heads to this false accusation. We will win. We are going to win. ‘ On Thursday, the prime minister also said that the opposition, especially the Geruya Shibir clerics, were also attacking him. Even good people like Rabindranath and Vidyasagar are being insulted.

Although the BJP is inflexible in its position. Dilip Ghosh, the party’s state chairman, asked: “Is it wrong to take action against handing over Visva-Bharati’s land to the mafia?” In this context, Trinamool MP Saugat Roy said: ‘What the power chakrabartis are doing, the Bengalis are getting small at all. Amartya Sen is a world-renowned economist and philosopher. He opposes the encirclement of the righteous terrain of Visva-Bharati. He is also critical of various policies of the BJP government. That is why propaganda is spread identifying him ”.
