Row over Bharat Ratna to Bhupen Hazarika unwanted, says brother
Music maestro Bhupen Hazarika’s brother, Samar Hazarika, on Tuesday appealed to everyone not to create any controversy over Bharat Ratna to the legend.
A vernacular newspaper in Assam on Monday reported that the legend’s son has declined to accept the country’s highest civilian honour to his father due to the ongoing situation in Assam regarding the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill.
“We have observed that there is a controversy in the media over the issue of Bharat Ratna to Late Bhupen Hazarika.
We would like to point out that the statement sent by Bhupenda’s son Tej Hazarika to the media does not have any mention of declining the honour.
So any controversy in this regard is unwanted,” said Samar Hazarika, who is also an acclaimed artiste of Assam.
