Balurghat Celebration Highlights 'One Nation, One Law' Ideals of Dr Mukherjee

The unveiling of Dr Shyamaprasad Mukherjee’s statue in Balurghat turned into a vibrant showcase of regional and national unity. Speakers repeatedly referenced Mukherjee’s advocacy for "one nation, one law," linking his early 20th‑century vision to today’s policy debates.

Organisers decorated the venue with garlands and illuminated the statue with floodlights, while participants raised placards invoking the late leader’s name. The event’s timing, overlapping with Durga Puja’s Ashtami and Navami, added a cultural dimension that resonated with the local crowd.

According to MP Majumdar, the memorial stands as a reminder that West Bengal’s development rests on the foundations laid by visionary leaders who championed a single, cohesive legal framework for the country.
