Tribute to Comrade Jyothi Basu on his 96th Birthday

The Portrait of legendary leader Comrade Jyothi Basu was unveiled in the West Bengal Assembly complex by former Loksabha speaker Somnath Chatterjee. He also delivered the first Jyothi Basu memorial lecture. The Left Front government has decided to christen Rajarhat as Jyotinagar after late CPM patriarch Jyoti Basu.   The government is also looking for land at Rajarhat so that a museum and education and research centre in Basu's memory can be set up soon. Rajya Sabha deputy chairman K Rahman Khan, Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee, PCC president Manas Bhunia and speaker Hashim Abdul Halim paid glowing tributes to Basu.
