West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has written to the Chief Election Commissioner, calling the Election Commission's issuance of a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) hearing notice to Nobel laureate Amartya Sen a "matter of profound shame." Banerjee alleged that Sen, along with other prominent figures like poet Joy Goswami and cricketer Mohammed Shami, are being harassed through this process. She further claimed that "logical discrepancies" are being selectively targeted with political bias, impacting both common citizens and eminent personalities.
