On Netaji's b'day, partiesfight over his legacy

AGENCIESKolkata

The 123rd birth anniversary of nationalistleader and freedom fighter Netaji SubhasChandra Bose was celebrated on Thursdayin West Bengal, where parties cutting acrosspolitical lines fought over his legacy. Payingher homage to Bose, West Bengal CM Ma-mata Banerjee, who is away in Darjeeling,said he had fought for a secular and unitedIndia and opposed the "divisive politics" ofHindu Mahasabha, an apparent reference tothe BJP and its leaders.

The country needs leaders like Netaji whocan take everybody along, she said and de-manded that his birthday be declared a na-tional holiday. The CM, who was speaking atan event held to celebrate Bose's birthday,said Bose through his struggle for Independ-ence had sent the message of respect for allfaiths and the best tribute to the nationalistleader will be to work for a united India, shesaid. "Netaji advocated secularism. He was atrue leader, who had the ability to lead thecountry. Only those who have the qualities ofsecularism can take everybody along, canlead the nation," she said in an apparent digat the BJP-led government at the Centre."Ne-taji had fought for a secular India. Now ef-forts are on to oust those who follow secular-ism," she said at an event here to celebrateBose's birth anniversary.

West Bengal PCC president Somen Mitratoo used the occasion to lash out at the BJPgovernment at the Centre over CAA and theproposed NRC. "The BJP government at theCentre is unable to understand the princi-

ples and ideology of Netaji. So it should stoppretending about respecting Netaji and hisstruggle. Only those (political parties) whodon't understand Netaji talk about aboutNRC and CAA, driving out Muslims andcreate communal divide in the country,"Mitra told reporters.

Sagar dalit youth...In addition to BJP state chief Rakesh Singh, ministerPC Sharma and leader of Opposition in Vidhan SabhaGopal Bhargava, Dr L Murugan, Vice-Chairman, Na-tional Commission for Scheduled Caste visited HamidiaHospital and inquired about the treatment and health ofAhirwar admitted in the Kamla Nehru ward on January21. Dr Murugun had suggested the administration tosend Dhanprasad to Safdarjung Hospital for better treat-ment. He was then taken in an air ambulance to the hos-pital in Delhi where he died on Thursday morning.

Imran 'desperate', remarks..."Pakistan has to realise that the global community hasseen through this double standards...playing the victimcard in their fight against terror on the one hand, andsupporting terror groups targeting India and othercountries on the other," he asserted.

When asked about Khan refusing to criticise China forthe plight of Uyghur Muslims in China while showingconcerns over the community in Kashmir, Kumar tookan indirect pot shot at the Pakistan prime minister. "Hesaid something, he is not saying something. You drawyour own conclusion."

During a media interview, Khan refused to criticiseChina over the condition of Uyghur Muslims, callingthe country a great friend who he said has done so muchfor Pakistan. Kumar said Pakistan must first take cred-ible steps to deal with terror networks operating fromits soil instead of trying to mislead the internationalcommunity. "They have to take credible, irreversibleand verifiable action against terror groups operatingfrom its soil rather than making misleading andalarmist statements to divert the attention of the inter-national community," said Kumar. The MEA spokesper-son categorically asserted that there was no role for anythird party on the Kashmir issue, in a clear message toUS President Donald Trump, who made a fresh offer to"help" India and Pakistan resolve the dispute two daysago. Kumar said if there are any issues between Indiaand Pakistan, they should be resolved bilaterally underthe provisions of Simla agreement and the Lahore dec-laration and that the onus is on Islamabad to create anatmosphere for talks."We have seen President Trump'sremarks. Our position on the Kashmir issue has beenclear and consistent. Let me once again reiterate thatthere is no role for any third party in this matter," Ku-mar said at a media briefing.

Addressing the media with Khan in Davos on Tuesday,Trump said that the US was watching the developmentsrelating to Kashmir "very closely" and repeated his offerto "help" resolve the dispute. Trump's comments cameahead of his planned two-day visit to India which is like-ly to take place between February-24-26.On the upcom-ing meeting of FATF in France, Kumar said India hopedthat the global anti-terror watchdog will carry out an as-sessment of Pakistan's efforts to contain terrorism.

FIR lodged against...In coming days, the BJP leader would face problem becauseSection 294 says that Obscene acts and songs-whoever, to theannoyance of others, does any obscene act in any publicplace, or sings, recites or utters any obscene song, ballad orwords, in or near any public place, shall be punished withimprisonment up to three months or fine or both.

Hindutva is back on themenu.

It began with MNS Presi-dent Raj Thackeray taking asharp right turn and unveil-ing an aggressive pro-Hindut-va agenda which would beanti-Pakistani and anti-Bangla-deshi infiltrator.

Another give-away wasRaj’s speech to commemorateBalasaheb’s birth anniver-sary – it began with him ad-dressing a huge gathering as"Hindu friends" and conclud-ed with him endorsinghis support to the CAA-NRC-NPR agenda.

The implication wasclear: Raj wishes to oc-cupy the political spacevacated by the Shiv Senand consolidate MNS’hold on hard-core Hin-

dutva voter.Shiv Sena leader Uddhav

Thackeray took the cue andmade it clear at anothermammoth rally that his partyhad not disengaged withthe Hindutva voter.

Another indication inthis direction had comethe previous day when aparty spokesperson saidthat Thackeray will visitAyodhya in March thisyear, by which time theconstruction of the Ramtemple would be mid-way.

‘‘Maza Rang, AntrangBhagwach Aahe (Mycolour and soul is saf-fron)," announced Ud-dhav with aplomb at agrand celebration at MM-RDA ground in BandraKurla Complex. It wasalso his rejoinder to Rajwho is blaming the ShivSena for changing its ide-ological stripes to capturepower.

After the Sena joinedhands with secular par-ties like the Congress and

the Nationalist Congress Par-ty, the BJP had launched acampaign against the Sena al-leging that they had discard-ed Hindutva.
