Shantiniketan mein Holi pe rang khelne ka mamla garam!
Kolkata se kareeb 180 kilometer door, Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore ke ghar Shantiniketan mein, ek iconic artisan fair, Sonajhuri Haat, mein rang khelne pe rok lagane wala poster laga hai. Is poster ne Bengal ki politics mein aag laga di hai. Holi se pehle yeh poster social media pe viral ho gaya, jiske baad BJP ne ruling Trinamool pe Holi manane pe ban lagane ka aarop lagaya hai. Lekin Mamata Banerjee government ka kehna hai ki yeh sab greenery bachane ke liye kiya gaya hai.
Poster mein kya likha hai?
Poster mein Bengali mein likha hai, “Reserved forest area: Playing with colours, car parking, videography and drone camera usage are prohibited.” Iska matlab hai ki yahan rang khelna, gaadi park karna, video banana aur drone camera use karna mana hai.
Suvendu Adhikari ne lagaya appeasement ka aarop
Bengal assembly mein Leader of the Opposition, Suvendu Adhikari, ne kaha ki yeh koi akele ghatna nahi hai. Unhone Bengal government pe appeasement ka aarop lagaya. Adhikari ne kaha, “2025 mein pehli baar har police station mein Holi ke liye meetings rakhi gayi. Yeh dusre community ke liye ek special month (Ramzan) hai aur is baar Holi Friday ko hai. Police ne openly declare kar diya hai ki Holi nahi manani chahiye, rang nahi khelne chahiye, aur arrest karne ki dhamki bhi di hai.”
Birbhum mein bhi aisa hi hua
Adhikari ne ek aur incident ka jikr kiya. Unhone kaha ki Birbhum district ke ek top police officer ne Basanta Utsav ko subah 10 baje tak khatam karne ka deadline diya kyunki woh din Friday tha. Unhone aarop lagaya, “Police, administration aur state government divisive politics aur appeasement ki politics kar rahe hain.”
Holi aur Dol Jatra ke saath Shantiniketan mein Basanta Utsav
Shantiniketan mein Holi aur Dol Jatra ke saath Basanta Utsav manaya jata hai. Yeh spring ke aane ki khushi mein rang aur cultural events ke saath manaya jata hai. Is unique celebration ki shuruaat Tagore ne 1920s mein ki thi.
Forest Minister ne aaropon ko khataa kiya
State Forest Minister Birbaha Hansda ne Sonajhuri mein Holi khelne pe koi bhi restriction lagane se inkaar kiya hai. Unhone BJP pe is matter ko politicize karne ka aarop lagaya. Minister ne kaha, “Yeh nature ko preserve karne ki request hai. Koi restriction nahi hai. Agar koi Holi khelna chahta hai, toh woh khel sakta hai. BJP ke paas politics karne ke liye koi aur issue nahi hai, isliye woh yeh kar rahe hain.” Unhone District Forest Officer se report bhi mangi hai aur kaha hai ki enquiry chal rahi hai.
