Dear Frends,
The arrest of professor from Jadavpur
University, Ambikesh Mahapatra, for circulating Mamata Banejees's
cartoon was highly atrocious and a clear assault on the minimum
democratic right of freedom of expression. The cartoon strip based on
Satyajit Ray's Sonar Kella shows Mamata Banerjee and Railway Minister
Mukul Roy discussing how to get rid of party law maker Dinesh Trivedi,
who earlier was forced by Banerjee to give up the Railways portfolio.
This is only an expression of the professor and it is awkward to have
arrested him.
CARTOON SAYS
In
Satyajit Ray’s movie “Sonar kella”, Mukul is a kid that seem to have
memories of a “golden fort” from his past life. His doctor
(psychiatrist) takes him to a trip to Rajasthan to see if the fort
exists. An evil doctor, wanting to make fortune off the supposed golden
fort’s treasures, tries to kill Mukul’s doctor and take his place. This
are excerpts from dialogue between the evil doctor (Mamta) and Mukul
(Mukul) from the movie. The original good doctor represents Trivedi.
Evil doctor (after hypnotizing Mukul).: Can you see the golden fort, Mukul?
Mukul (about his original doctor, after the evil doctor portrays the good doctor as the bad one): That’s a bad person!
Evil doctor (after pushing the good doctor off a cliff): Bad person vanish!
