Rampurahat: Claiming that Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen has been served with an SIR hearing notice by the EC, TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee on Tuesday gave a clarion call to his party’s supporters to “un-map the BJP from Bengal” and ensure victory in 250 of the 294 seats in the upcoming assembly elections in West Bengal.
A family member of Sen, however, told PTI that they had not yet received any hearing notice from the Commission.
Addressing a public rally at Rampurhat in Birbhum district, Banerjee claimed that the BJP-led Centre was repeatedly resorting to deliberate acts of insulting the people of Bengal and has now formed a nexus with the Election Commission to target the state in the name of conducting the SIR exercise.
