Today is Balidan Divas,the day of Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee’s martyrdom in captivity at Srinagar. He was snared into Jammu & Kashmir by a conspiracy so as to be taken out of the jurisdiction of India’s Supreme Court. His medical treatment following a severe heart attack smacked
of criminal negligence,of none other than Sheikh Abdullah. Possibly the most prominent opposition member in the Lok Sabha,he spent his last days in a forlorn,windswept little cottage that did not even have a telephone,far away from Srinagar town. Nehru and Katju,his Home Minister
visited Srinagar during his captivity. The two were such cads that they did not even see it fit to visit SPM for five minutes. SPM was not even given the facility to take a walk every day-all by orders of the Sheikh. Post his heart attack he was taken to hospital,not in an
ambulance but in a taxi in a sitting position. He was put in the gynae ward of the hospital whereas a person of his stature deserved the best possible facilities. There he died at 3.40 am 66 years ago without a single loved one by his side
