West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has objected to Governor CV Ananda Bose’s decision to observe the State Foundation Day on June 20 at Raj Bhavan. Mamata Banerjee wrote a letter to the governor, requesting him not to hold any such program which might rekindle bitter memories of crores of people in West Bengal and re-incite undesirable forces. Mamata Banerjee said West Bengal was carved out of the undivided State of Bengal in 1947 through a painful and traumatic process that involved the uprooting of millions of people across the border, resulting in deaths and displacement of innumerable families. In sum, it is an unprecedented step of yours which has been done unilaterally by you without following any procedure of obtaining necessary consent of the state cabinet and the state legislature. This act on your part would hurt the sentiments of the people and insult and defame the millions of people in West Bengal Today, read the letter written by CM to the governor.
