Leave it to another musician, living legend Kabir Suman, to seize the Sunday following legendary flautist Pannalal Ghosh’s birth anniversary on 24 July, to effectively tell Calcutta’s culture-conscious citizens to wake up and hear the music!
"If there is anyone else to whom I should apologise, please contact me -- I will beg for pardon with my bowed head." On Saturday, the state BJP unit had lodged a complaint with the police against Kabir Suman allegedly for using abusive language against a television journalist who asked for his reaction on a particular issue.
"The said statement and voice recording was aired in various social media posts and portals. It is quite disturbing to even believe that a person has the audacity to abuse the Bengali and non-Bengali communities in this fashion in a country where, as per the Constitution, all religions, caste, creeds are to be respected.
