ASANSOL: Kazi Nazrul University, the place Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will likely be conferred the D Litt on Saturday, has made a sudden change within the visitor record slightly 72 hours sooner than the event: “Guest-in-Chief” and CM Mamata Banerjee’s title has fallen off the record, which is being interpreted as a snub from Nabanna to the state’s youngest college.
The modified visitor record for the college’s 3rd convocation, which was once sent out on Wednesday, adopted a decision from a senior state executive professional to KNU vice-chancellor Sadhan Chakraborty, intimating the latter about the leader minister’s incapability to attend the programme.
The unique invite discussed Banerjee as the chief visitor and likewise stored a 20-minute window for her speech, which might have preceded the Bangladesh premier’s. Even on Tuesday, the CM’s personal security detail inspected — and sanitised — the VVIP zone, indicating the change within the visitor record was once a last-minute choice, which officers admitted was once “highly peculiar and a departure from convention, especially when a visiting head of state was once one of the crucial invitees”.
Nabanna officers gave one “professional explanation why” and a 2nd “unofficial explanation why”. The “professional explanation why” was once that the univ-ersity had erred in “together with the CM’s title with out looking ahead to Nabanna’s approval”.
The “unofficial explanation why” given through Nabanna officers added a extra critical perspective to the debate: the CMO had come to know of an ongoing inquiry into “critical allegations of nepotism and monetary irregularities originating from the college campus”, prompting Nabanna to scrap the CM’s visit.
The fresh invite, issued on Wednesday, specified that Bengal governor and college chancellor Keshari Nath Tripathi would preside over the convocation and state training minister Partha Chatterjee would be the guest-of-honour. Tripathi is scheduled to reach Asansol on Friday night and will obtain the Bangladesh PM on the campus on Saturday.
KNU officers mentioned they didn't know of both of the 2 causes that induced a last-minute change within the visitor record. University registrar Sitangshu Kumar Guha mentioned: “The new invitation cards don't have the CM’s title because her participation (within the convocation) is still unsure.” State training minister Chatterjee, too, refused to learn an excessive amount of into the modified visitor record.
Guha also indicated that actor Sharmila Tagore (every other proposed D Litt awardee) and Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus (a proposed awardee for D Sc) had not but showed their participation and so the programme details had been finalised with out them. The college, to do away with any further controversy, also sent an invitation to BJP Asansol MP and junior Union minister Babul Supriyo.
