evidence: The Santiniketan-based Visva-Bharati has issued a press release criticising — without naming him — Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen, whom the university accuses of being in illegal possession of its land. [...] "Visva-Bharati doesn’t insult anyone nor has the intention to do so, but if someone thinks because he is a renowned academician he can grab land belonging to Visva-Bharati, then the administration would not hesitate to take legal action even if the person enjoys the support of sycophants. Since the matter is sub judice, the Visva-Bharati would not comment on the [land matter] right now...but it objects to the comments made by the migrant traveller on the current situation in Visva-Bharati," the press release in Bengali, signed by the public relations officer (PRO), said. [...] "We strongly condemn the highly objectionable press release issued by the PRO, which is riddled with spelling and grammatical errors. It contains derogatory, defamatory content and even includes threats of life to students and teachers, which we are seeking legal counsel on. It accuses Professor Sen, without explicitly naming him, of land grabbing while mentioning at the same time that the matter was sub-judice," Sudipta Bhattacharyya, president of the Visva-Bharati University Faculty Association, said.
