Amit Shah Unveils Plans for 125-Foot Mookerjee Statue in Kolkata

Before reaching the site, Shah visited the Mookerjee ancestral residence in Bhabanipur to honor both Syama Prasad and his father, Asutosh Mookerjee. Accompanied by Suvendu Adhikari, the Home Minister framed the project as a tribute to Mookerjee’s lifelong dedication to the integration of Jammu and Kashmir into the national fold. He noted that the statue serves to anchor the memory of Mookerjee’s political vision within the contemporary Indian landscape, intending to resonate with a new generation. The event underscores a persistent effort to elevate the legacy of the Jana Sangh pioneer as a foundational figure in the nation's historical narrative.
