SYAMA PRASAD MOOKERJEE RESEARCH FOUNDATION 9, Ashok Road, New Delhi - 110001 3 ONE COUNTRY - ONE CONSTITUTION FOREWORD A time comes in the history of a nation but rarely, when a momentous decision shapes its destiny. It changes the course of history and revitalizes its journey with a sense of reassurance and self confidence. It gives a sense of hope and trust in a future having a glorious saga of successes and achievements. When a momentous decision is taken, it touches the life of the entire nation with a feeling of rejuvenation and new found dynamism. The revocation of Article 370 & 35A along with reorganization of Jammu-Kashmir is one such momentous decision in the history of India. It was a decision long awaited but considered most difficult and even impossible in the prevailing political scenario. It required a strong political will and a leadership, confident and determined, to take such a historic decision.

Tel.: (022) 2430632 / 2437886 Fax: 24313938 E-mail: [email protected] Date: 3rd May, 2021 -: Press Release: - Mamata Banerjee Goons Attack ABVP Office in Kolkata Soon after the declaration of Bengal Assembly Election results, there have been rampant instances of violence and goondaism by the goons of All India Trinamool Congress. Since Sunday (yesterday), Mamata Banerjee’s goons have been targeting members of the political opposition by way of fanatical violence including targeted bombings across the state. Today, around 15-20 TMC goons of Mamata Banerjee attacked and vandalised ABVP West Bengal’s Kolkata office, engaged in altercation with the activists and assaulted them. After assaulting ABVP National Joint Organising Secretary Shri Shriniwas, Zonal Organising Secretary Shri Govinda Nayak, Zonal Joint Organising Secretary Shri Apanshu Shekhar Sil, Central Working Committee member Shri Suman Chandra Das and 5-6 other activists, the TMC goons deliberately vandalized the idols of Hindu deities Hanuman Ji and Maa Kali. After dashing the idols of Hindu Gods and Goddesses to smithereens, they further vandalized the portraits of thought leaders and national figures like Rabindranath Tagore, Syama Prasad Mukherjee, Subhas Chandra Bose and others. The attackers shouted pro-Mamata Banerjee slogans and threatened the ABVP activists and office-bearers with similar assaults in the times to come. They said that Mamata Banerjee’s defeat in Nandigram had made the TMC cadres very resentful of those responsible for her loss and that such ‘traitors’ would not be allowed to live in Bengal for long.

Dr. Rajendra Prasad, once movingly wrote about this lack of gratitude towards Sardar's great contribution as the architect of India's unity. “That there is today an India to think and talk about”, wrote Prasad, “is very largely due to Sardar Patel's statesmanship and firm administration. Yet we are apt to ignore him.” One of Sardar Patel's leading biographers had this to say about the neglect and the contrast, “Falling in 1989, the centenary of Jawaharlal's birth found expression on a thousand billboards, in commemorative TV serials, in festivals and on numerous other platforms.
