Controversy sparked off with Bankura’s BJP MLA garlanding the statue of a hunter mistaking it to be that of Birsa Munda. It is the same statue that was garlanded by senior BJP leader and Union Home minister Amit Shah in Bankura a year ago mistaking it to be that of the tribal freedom fighter Birsa Munda. On Saturday, two days ahead of the birth anniversary of Birsa Munda, Bankura’s BJP MLA Niladri Sekhar Dana has garlanded the statue of a hunter at Puabagan in Bankura. The row over garlanding a statue of a hunter mistaking it to be that of tribal freedom fighter Birsa Munda has once again came up as a major issue in Jangalmahal after a year as the people from the tribal community consider it to.
It was on November 5 in 2020 when Shah had garlanded a statue of a hunter mistaking it to be that of Birsa Munda and the then state BJP president Dilip Ghosh had added fuel to the fire in an attempt to defend his party saying: “…It will be the statue of Birsa Munda from today after the announcement by our home minister even if it has not been named yet. Everyone has to accept it.” Trinamool Congress criticised Dana for committing the mistake despite being aware of the sentiment of the local people in this connection. “They actually do not give value to the sentiment of the people of any community. As a result they commit the same mistake repeatedly,” said Bankura’s Trinamool Congress chairman Shyamal Santra.
