KOLKATA: The Trinamool Congress expressed “surprise” at PM Narendra Modi’s “sudden enthusiasm” to establish the connection that Rabindranath Tagore and his family had with Modi’s home state, Gujarat.
“Tagore is not just Bengal’s poet. He is a visva kavi (world poet). Why is the PM trying to confine Tagore to a particular region?” Bengal science and technology minister Bratya Basu said, hours after the PM’s virtual Visva Bharati speech on Thursday.
Basu referred to Tagore’s novels and essays to assert that the bard’s world vision was more open and much above religious bigotry, narrow nationalism and “cow vigilantism”. “Will the PM take responsibility for the cow vigilantes who are killing people?” he asked.
