Miscreants have covered the face of a graffiti of World Poet Rabindranath Tagore with black ink on the wall adjacent to Shibbari railway station, painted under the initiative of the city corporation ahead of Prime Minister Tarique Rahman's visit to Khulna. Along with this, several anti-Rabindranath and controversial posters were pasted on the same wall. However, portraits of SM Sultan, Khaleda Zia, Ziaur Rahman, Kazi Nazrul Islam, and Michael Madhusudan Dutt painted alongside Rabindranath were left untouched.
It is still not certain who or which miscreants committed this disgraceful act late at night or early in the morning following the Prime Minister's visit. Following this incident, cultural activists and common people in Khulna have expressed intense anger and demanded the arrest of the culprits.
Khulna Sadar Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Lokman Hossain Ripon stated that putting ink on Rabindranath's graffiti is an unfortunate incident. Upon receiving the news, police were dispatched, and an investigation is underway with hopes of arresting the perpetrators very soon.
