West Bengal Government has banned all English dailies and at least two leading Bengali newspapers in state funded libraries
by Prof Pijushkanti Panigrahi 28 Mar '12

28 Mar '12

Dear Professionals The above news came to the notice of IASLIC recently. News is being forwarded to you for information. We are worried to learn this. Discussion is going on in this regard in IASLIC. You can send your comments to iaslic.india(a)gmail.com =============================================== West Bengal Government has banned all English dailies and at least two leading Bengali newspapers in state funded libraries http://www.ndtv.com/article/india/in-bengal-mamata-to-decide-what-you-read-… Kolkata: In West Bengal's 2,482 state run libraries there is a new notice pasted. There will be no English papers to read. The Trinamool Congress (TMC) government has banned all English dailies and at least two leading Bengali newspapers in state funded libraries. The government circular says "In public interest, Government will not buy newspapers published or purported to be published by any political party either national or regional as a measure to develop free thinking among the readers." Libraries in Kolkata have already begun displaying the notice saying- following a government order dated 14 March 2012; only eight newspapers will henceforth be available. In the list of newspapers now banned are the names of two leading Bengali dailies, the Ananda Bazar Patrika and Bartaman; both not owned by political parties. Ironically, of the 8 newspapers available to readers, Sangbad Pratidin is a Bengali paper owned by TMC Rajya Sabha (RS) MP Srinjoy Bose. The Associate Editor is Kunal Ghosh who has just been elected to RS on TMC ticket. Also on that list is Sanmarg, a Hindi newspaper whose director is Vivek Gupta and Akbar-e-Masriq whose senior journalist is Nadimul Haq. Both Mr Gupta and Mr Haq have just been elected to RS on TMC ticket. The only banned newspaper that is published by a political party is Ganashakti, which is a CPM mouthpiece. Users of public libraries are already surprised and shocked at this decision of the state government and suspect newspapers critical of the government have been banned. "Only papers that are supporting the TMC are being kept here. We protest this," said Sushanto Seth a regular visitor at libraries. The issue was brought up in the state Assembly by a Congress MLA who called the government circular undemocratic and urged the chief minister to have it withdrawn. Mamata Banerjee was not present in the Assembly at that time. The minister in charge of public libraries was not available for comment.
