HINDU MAHASABHA

Politics had never been or will be a clean man's domain. Even if you debate on this, time after time it has been  ascertained that whoever honest had joined this field had one time or the other been maliciously proved an outcast or debarred.  Two names Subhas Chandra Bose and Sri Lal Bahadur Sashtri, I believe, are suffice to speak the truth. And if you look at to-day's political scenario in Bengal, there is no dearth of example to speak in favour of my statement. For reasons best known to them, even as late as December 2009 someone has raised questions about Dr.Shyama Prashad Mukerjee's cause of death in 1953. Though the Government of India declared his death to be a natural one, no inquiry was held based on the fact why Sri.Mukerjee was administered Penicillin (death caused by allergic reaction to Penicillin) in spite of  Mukerjee intimating the doctor that he was allergic to the drug. His death in the valley of Kashmir still remains a mystery. Here is a rare photograph of Dr.Shyama Prashad Mukerjee, the gentle giant, at the 26th session of All India Hindu Mahasabha held at Bilaspur on Sunday, the 24 December, 1944. To Sri Mukherjee's right is seen Smt Latika Lahiri, the only lady in this photograph. To Smt Lahiri's right is her husband, a medical doctor, Phanindra Mohan Lahiri.
