Centre Scared Of Historian, Says Mamata On Detention Of Ramachandra Guha

Mumbai: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday condemned the detention of historian Ramachandra Guha and others in Bengaluru and staged a protest against the new citizenship law and NRC.

Extending his solidarity with the detained Guha and other agitators on Thursday morning, Banerjee said the centre was one of India’s “most accomplished” historians.

“This government is scared of students. This government is scared of one of India’s most accomplished historians for speaking to the media on #CAB #NRC and holding a poster of Gandhiji. I condemn the detention of Ram Guha. We extend our full solidarity to all those detained,” she tweeted.

Guha said it was “absolutely undemocratic” that the police were also not allowing peaceful protest, which is the democratic right of citizens. They were taken away by police personnel and a vehicle parked nearby.

Banerjee has been vocal against the NRC and the Act and since Monday organized three protest marches in Howrah and Kolkata.

West Bengal had witnessed violent protests against the Act.
