Mamata Banerjee inaugurates Kolkata book fair, lays stress on cultural ties with Bangladesh
Highlighting the cultural ties between West Bengal and Bangladesh on Monday, chief minister Mamata Banerjee was delighted that the 45th Kolkata International Book Fair had Bangladesh as the theme country for its 50th anniversary of liberation.
Speaking at the opening of the 45th book fair in Salt Lake City’s Central Park, Banerjee said the relationship between West Bengal and sovereign Bangladesh “cannot be measured with a tape measure”.
“They (Bangladesh) have Nazrul (Islam) and we have Tagore as our national poet. But they cannot be divided by any division,” she said.
Banerjee warned against trying to divide people by religion, saying no one dictates people’s choices about food, dress or language.
“On both sides of the border, we are celebrating International Languages Day on February 21. We also voice Jai Bangla with Jai Hind and Vande Mataram,” the prime minister said.
She paid tribute to Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, considered the founding father of Bangladesh, and to Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wajed, with whom she has deep personal ties.
Bangladeshi Minister of Cultural Affairs KM Khalid also spoke about Bangladesh’s relationship with West Bengal and thanked the book fair authorities for paying attention to his country on the 50th anniversary of independence.
Banerjee is delighted to host the book fair after a one-year hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
She said the Kolkata Book Fair will continue to be held in Central Park as the permanent exhibition centre in Milan Mela has been refurbished.
“We’re going to rename the Central Park venue Boimela Prangan (book fair venue),” she said.
In 2018, the Kolkata International Book Fair relocated from the Milan Mela site to Central Park.
The chief minister also called on the book fair authorities to commit to world peace during the event to commemorate the victims of the Russian and Ukrainian wars.

As Jennifer Lopez navigates her separation from Ben Affleck, she prioritizes her career, notably in the film Unstoppable.
Jennifer Lopez has “let go of her ego” to prioritise her career and personal growth as she navigates her separation from Ben Affleck.
The 55-year-old actress and singer, during an interview with Amazon/MGM, opened up about working on the upcoming film Unstoppable, a project she co-starred in while estranged from her husband.
“It was an honour to be a part of Anthony [Robles] and to play Judy,” Jennifer shared. “I approached the role with a complete lack of ego where you have to go in there and have so much respect for the person you are playing because it’s her story.”
“I disappeared, there was no Jennifer, no J. Lo. That person on the screen is just Judy. Luckily, I got to spend time with her and see who she was alone and as a mother.”

Affleck praises Lopez’s ‘spectacular’ performance
Affleck and Matt Damon produced the film, which tells the inspiring story of 36-year-old wrestler Anthony Robles.
JLo portrays Judy Robles, Anthony’s mother. Affleck also highly praised Jennifer’s performance, calling her “spectacular.”
“Unstoppable is a very different movie than [Small Things Like These], but in a way it’s similarly rooted in the passion of really talented artists,” Ben told Entertainment Toninght just couple of weeks back. “Billy Goldenberg and Jennifer and Don Cheadle and Jharrel and Bobby Cannavale – all of whom were really passionate about this film.”
After reuniting and marrying in 2022, Jennifer filed for divorce in August 2024. Reports of marital struggles, including living separately, surfaced months before the filing.
“He’s focusing on his work and his kids now,” an insider told InTouch Weekly. “Ben already moved out … They’ll never stop loving each other, but she can’t control him, and he can’t change her.”
