Guwahati: Opposition leader in the State Assembly, Debabrata Saikia has called Bharatiya Jan Sangha Founder Shyama Prasad Mookerji ‘communal nationalist recognized’.
Reacting to the inauguration of the chairman of Himanta Minister Buswa Sarma from the statue of Bjuan Mookerji in Sarbhog in the Barpeta district of Assam down on Tuesday, said Saikia, by doing it, Sarma displays the prospect of fascist and autocratic BJP.
“Shyamaprasad Mookerji was a support for Britons during his tenure as representatives of Chancellor of the University of Calcutta Bengal Barat in 1938.
On the establishment of the Calcutta University, during the past March by students, Mookerji paid the British flag, popularly called Union Jack.
He also expelled two Bidyasagar students College did not do it, “Alleged Saikia.
He said Mookerji was a Muslim League minister Jinnah in West Bengal.
“At the time of the National Congress of India, on August 7, 1942, said the Quit India movement, Mookerji was a minister in the Muslim League government and advised Governor of West Bengal how to control and lower the movement,” said Saikia, “said Saikia.
He accused Sarma to make a convoluted statement -Belites at the Sarbhog event that Mookerji introduced Assamese language at Calcutta University.
In fact, Sir Ashutosh Mukherji who did it, Saikia asserted.
“Because there is no university in Assam, ordinary students go to Calcutta or Dhaka for study.
It was not love for Assam people who pushed the move.
Today, Canada has declared Gurmukhi – Sikh language as a second language because of a large number.
Sikh has emigrated there.
When Mookerji hasn’t done anything for Assam’s language in West Bengal at that time, there is no reason why he should be compared to Sahitusi Lakshminath Bezbaruah (Doyen from Modern Assamese literature), “added Saicia.
He was worried that Sarma’s statement at Barpeta Road in Sarbhog It is part of the mission by BJP to distort history.
“Gandhi Bhawan in Barpeta, to commemorate Mahatma Gandhi, must be torn down to make a way for new buildings.
This is also an attempt to rewrite history.
Communal people like Shyam Prasad Mookerji do not deserve to be a model to become a model of Assam people, “said Saikia.
The Congress leader also accused that CM openly showed that he did not pay attention to democracy when he said that the selection with the opposition MLA would only be carried out by the Minister.
“In parliamentary democracy, the role of government and important opposition and MLA has an obligation to treat its electoral district, in addition to carrying out its official role,” Saikia said.
Sarbhog, known as the Left Fortress for decades, represented in the State Assembly by ManoRanjan Talukdar from CPM.
Saikia said the ministers were responsible for carrying out their departmental work efficiently and officials were entrusted with the task of implementing government policies.
“The Constitution does not mention anywhere that the ruling party ministers can seize the power of MLAs opposition,” he added.
Senior Congress members urged the head Instead I to pay more attention to administrative work than to make a political statement.
Sniffing conspiracy during the situation pandemic, said Saikia instead of providing Covid vaccines, the Ministry of Health will now be involved for ‘routine vaccination’ to divert attention from the need for covid.indi vaccine
