Sri Jayendra Saraswati as a “great son of the soil”:Somnath Chatterjee
Describing Sri Jayendra Saraswati, the Shankaracharya of Kanchi, as a “great son of the soil”, former Lok Sabha Speaker Somnath Chatterjee today asked him to guide the country towards the “right path”.
“His holiness is among the greatest sons of India. He has spent his entire life for the sake of humanity. I appeal to him to guide the country so that people are on the right path,” Chatterjee said while accepting the Sri Chandrasekharandra Saraswati National Eminence Award.
Saying the country was “losing direction”, Chatterjee, who was expelled from the CPI(M) last year added, “I often wonder where the country is going. Even after 60 years of Independence we hear of farmers’ suicides. This is a national shame.”
Chatterjee, who received Rs 2.50 lakh as part of the award, said he would utilise it to set up a girl’s college in his former constituency Bolpur
