In a humane gesture Union Minister Babul Supriyo on Saturday pardoned the student who had pulled him by his hair at Jadavpur University on Thursday evening when hundreds of Left wing students gheraoed him for more than five hours requiring Governor Jagdeep Dhankar to personally move into the campus to secure his release.
The singer-turned-minister forgave came the accused after his ailing mother begged pardon over social media. Bengal BJP president and another senior leader Sayantan Bose had earlier threatened to have located the boy’s and address and threatened him and his comrades with a payback. “Those who have done it will not be spared and their hands will be broken,” Ghosh said.
Soon after the student’s mother begged for the boy’s life and career in the social media prompting Supriyo to write “maasima (auntie) I have already forgiven your son. Neither have I complained to the police nor have I allowed any other person to do that. So don’t worry nothing will happen to him. Just take care of your health and ask your son to learn from his mistakes. Take my pranam!”
