What did the university write to the CM and Amartya Sen?
    In a press statement, the university said, Visva Bharati is a central university. We are better off without your blessings because we are used to the margdarshan (guidance) of the Prime Minister.\We would like to request the chief minister to stop seeing through her ears and use her brain. Your favourite disciple (Anubrata Mondal), without whom you cannot imagine Birbhum, is also languishing in jail, the statement said.To which the Chief Minister replied, We all have a responsibility to protest and save Visva-Bharati. Rabindranath Tagore’s ideas of education in the open amongst nature. If someone thinks they can saffronise students, professors by use of force, then remember that even if no one stands by them, I am with them.Mamata Banerjee said Vishva-Bharati University should focus on running the university and not target students to indulge in saffronisation, without naming the Vice-Chancellor who claims he did not mean to disrespect Amartya Sen while questioning his Nobel Prize. Mamata Banerjee had also met protesting students of Visva-Bharati University assuring them of all help to end the campus unrest.The fight took over political turn when the university slammed Nobel Prize Winner Amartya Sen for illegally claiming the land of the university which according to the university is 1.25 acres but Amartya claims 1.38 acres. Write down your views about the university. Do you think if this wasn’t a central university it’s statement would be completely different.
