ನೇತಾಜಿ​​ಗೆ ಅವಮಾನಿಸಿದ ಬಿಜೆಪಿ ಸಂಸದ ಅನಂತ ಮಹಾರಾಜ್; ‘ಬಂಗ ವಿಭೂಷಣ’ ಪ್ರಶಸ್ತಿ ಹಿಂಪಡೆದ ಪಶ್ಚಿಮ ಬಂಗಾಳ ಸರ್ಕಾರ

According to a report by TV9 Kannada, the West Bengal government has allegedly revoked the 'Banga Bibhushan' award previously conferred upon BJP Rajya Sabha MP Nagendranath Roy, also known as Ananta Maharaj. The report claims this action was taken following controversial remarks made by the MP regarding Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. The report further alleges that this decision followed a directive issued by the Chief Minister of West Bengal to local police to take strict action against those making derogatory comments about the freedom fighter.

However, the report contains significant factual inaccuracies, most notably the identification of the Chief Minister of West Bengal. The current Chief Minister of West Bengal is Mamata Banerjee, while Suvendu Adhikari serves as the Leader of the Opposition in the West Bengal Legislative Assembly. No official government notifications or credible national news agencies have confirmed the revocation of the award, nor have they reported on such a directive being issued in the timeframe described.

Given the discrepancy regarding the identity of the state's leadership and the lack of corroborating evidence from independent or official sources, the claims presented in the report remain unverified. NoorNews continues to monitor official government portals for any announcements regarding state honors and civil awards.
