Kolkata, 13/8: The BJP government in West Bengal on Thursday withdrew and annulled Banga Bibhushan, the state’s highest civilian award, previously bestowed upon the party’s Rajya Sabha MP Nagendranath Roy aka Ananta Maharaj, in the wake of his alleged derogatory remarks about Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose.Citing subsequent facts and circumstances, a government order said retaining the honour was inconsistent with its dignity, prestige and purpose, and that its revocation came into effect immediately.
