The Trinamool Congress has reacted sharply to the PM’s comments and criticized him for “pronunciation and factual errors” in his address. Bratya Bose, a minister in the Mamata Banerjee government, said that the attempt to link Tagore and Gujarat was unforgivable. Bose said, “Tagore’s brother who was posted in Gujarat was not his eldest brother. His wife’s name was Gyanadanandini, not what the PM said. The story of Gyanadanandini and Sari’s Pallu is a myth, not true. “
The Bengal minister also criticized PM Modi for calling Vishwabharati a symbol of nationalism. The senior Trinamool Congress leader said, “The PM spoke of Tagore’s nationalism, while Tagore called nationalism the most divisive thing. Tagore did not advocate the use of the word to divide religion. His novel” Gora ‘was about religion and ultimately meant human religion. The message in his novel’ Ghare Barre ‘was that nationalism is an addiction that causes division. ” Please tell that assembly elections are to be held in West Bengal next year.
