The Hindu
“All the people of West Bengal are deeply pained by this attitude of the central government.
Expressing shock over the Centre's decision to exclude West Bengal's tableau commemorating Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and his INA on the leader's 125th birth anniversary year, from the upcoming Republic Day Parade in Delhi, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Sunday wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi urging him to reconsider the decision.
Ms. Banerjee also said that no reason was cited for the tableau's rejection, a decision, which she said had "pained" people.
"I have been profoundly shocked and hurt by the decision of the Government of India to abruptly exclude the proposed tableau of the Government of West Bengal from the ensuing Republic Day Parade," Ms. Banerjee said in a two-page letter to Modi.
