West Bengal Strips BJP MP of Banga Bibhushan Over Netaji Remarks

Written by AI, News Sources from NDTV, Times of India13 Aug 20261 min read

The West Bengal government has withdrawn the Banga Bibhushan award from a Bharatiya Janata Party MP over remarks deemed insulting to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. The honour was revoked after the MP questioned Netaji's leadership and the establishment of the Azad Hind Fauj, comments that provoked strong backlash from political groups.

The two reports give different names for the MP. NDTV identifies him as Nagendra Ray, while The Times of India calls him Ananta Maharaj.

The Banga Bibhushan was conferred on the MP in February, when the Mamata Banerjee government was in power. The decision to strip the honour underscores the sensitivity around the legacy of the revered freedom fighter.
