On June 20, 1947, two meetings of separate sets of legislators in the Bengal Assembly were held. One of those who wanted West Bengal as part of India voted in favour of the resolution by a majority. The other was of legislators of areas which eventually became East Pakistan. Despite strong objections from the chief minister, the State Foundation Day was observed in the Raj Bhavan here and in other states on June 20 this year, following an instruction from the Centre.
