New Delhi, Feb 9 (IANS): Hitting out at the Congress floor leader in the Lok Sabha, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, for accusing him of sitting on the chair of Nobel laureate poet Rabindranath Tagore during his recent visit to West Bengal, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said on Tuesday that he didn t sit on the chair, but instead sat on a window.
Referring to a letter by the Vice-Chancellor of Visva-Bharati University in Shantiniketan, which was founded by Tagore, Shah made it clear in the Lower House that Chowdhury s claim that he violated the dignity of the place was completely wrong.
