We will not give up, Kabir Sumon joins BJP to protest harassment of Nobel laureate Amartya Sen

Recently, the Visva-Bharati authorities sent a letter to Santiniketan claiming land adjacent to the ancestral home of West Bengal Nobel Prize-winning economist Amartya Sen ‘Pratichi’. On Thursday, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee was the first to speak out against the letter.

After that, in the dispute over the land of Amartya Sen’s ancestral home, ‘Pratichi’ in Santiniketan, prominent people began to accuse him of harassment. Minister Bratya Basu, singer Kabir Sumon, Joy Goswami, Shubha Prasanna, Narsingh Prasad Bhaduri, Subodh Sarkar and Yogen Chowdhury joined the protest in front of the Bangla Academy in Kolkata on Sunday afternoon.

Kabir Sumon from the defendant assembly said: ‘If someone says that Kshitimohan Sen’s daughter or her husband bought land but it is illegal, what should I say? My guess is that they will persuade. It started with. Kabir Sumon’s attack without naming the BJP, ‘I don’t want to say anything about these people. But we will not give up. Here we want to make it clear that we will not give up. Those who have been rulers before have seen how many ways there are to renounce it, now they will see it. ‘

A poster was seen in the hands of all those protesting in the academy facilities. It says: “I do not accept the BJP insult to Bengalis, not to human beings.” Singer Surjit Chatterjee said, “I think everyone should have a beard somewhere.”

There will be politics, many parties come and go in a democracy, everything is fine. But personally, I don’t think Amartya Sen deserves it. With whom Santiniketan has direct contact and whose name Rabindranath Tagore himself has named, he does not deserve it. I came here to protest. ‘
