Mamata Seeks Modi's Intervention on Tagore Home Vandalism
The Chief Minister of West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee, wants India's Prime Minister Modi to talk to Bangladesh about the damage to Rabindranath Tagore's house, now a museum.
It seems a fight over parking fees led to a mob attacking the museum, causing damage.
Banerjee sees this as an attack on their shared history and culture.
The government of Bangladesh is investigating, and has set up a panel.
The BJP party has a different view; they say Banerjee didn't respond quickly, suggesting it was a planned act.
Mamata Banerjee urged PM Modi to address the vandalism of Rabindranath Tagore's ancestral house in Bangladesh.
The incident occurred in Sirajganj district, Bangladesh, at the Rabindra Kachharibari museum.
A mob vandalized parts of the museum following a dispute over parking fees.
Bangladesh authorities formed a probe panel and registered a case against multiple individuals.
BJP criticized Mamata Banerjee, calling her response 'delayed and calculated'.
