At Bagula, Nadia, 4 to 5 km from the international border which saw large number of refugees cross over into West Bengal from August 1947 onwards, addressed the #PartitionHorrorsRememberanceDay programme: spoke of Nehru’s refusal to exchange population on the eastern front, recalled Pakistan’s 1st Law Minister & Dalit leader Jogendranath Mandal’s historic resignation letter, where he writes “My outspokenness, vigilance and sincere efforts to safeguard the interests of minorities of Pakistan, in general, and of the scheduled caste in particular, were considered a matter of annoyance to the East Bengal Govt. and few League leaders…”, spoke of Communist duplicity in supporting Pakistan, of Noakhali carnage of 1946 perpetrated by Muslim League and of Acharya Kripalani’s report to the CWC etc… Some of my co-speakers from refugee families couldn’t hold back their tears while remembering their displacement and uprooting.
