How Congress treated Netaji is well known.

Let me tell you about Kazi Nazrul Islam, another great Bengali icon and a mind blowing story of Congress callousness.

Nazrul is among greatest Bengali poets, second only to Tagore.

(1/n)
Born in Asansol, spent his whole life in West Bengal.

A true patriot, participated in freedom struggle.

A truly secular person, married to a Hindu woman, wrote the most famous devotional songs for Goddess Kali.
By 1950, he had lost his mental balance and had to spend time in the mental asylum in Ranchi.

In 1972, he was sick, dying in poverty and completely unaware of the world.

Congress govt handed over the dying man to Bangladesh!
Imagine the diplomatic disaster.

A great icon and patriot is handed over to Bangladesh when he is on his deathbed.

Do you see how Bangladesh would spin this?

They would say India let go of the man because he is not a Hindu.
And we allowed it to happen!

We let Bangladesh take the man, declare Kazi Nazrul Islam their national poet, give him a burial and a monument.

Now tell me who validated the two nation theory? Congress or BJP?
