“Many members have expressed their anguish over Katju’s comment on Netaji and Tagore. They want to raise the issue and discuss it in the House. They may also bring in a resolution on it,” Banerjee told reporters here after an all-party meeting in the assembly premises.
The week-long session of the House would begin on September 18.
Katju had created a controversy with his tweet on Monday where he had described Subhas Chandra Bose as a “Japanese agent” and Tagore a “British stooge”.
He said, “I am soon coming to Kolkata where I will give a speech with a scathing attack on that British stooge Tagore and that Japanese agent Subhas Chandra Bose.”
“That will be throwing a stone in a beehive, and send many Bengalis swarming like hornets for my blood. But they must know the truth. For too long they have been taken for a ride,” Katju said on social networking websites.
In his complaint filed at a city police station, BJP legislator Samik Bhattacharya said, “Katju’s comments are not only abusive but ill intended and hate writings. His remarks are nothing but communal hatred against the people of Bengal which is a criminal offence.”
