Calcutta High Court: PIL moved seeking declaration of public holiday on 2nd July in honour of Nawab Siraj-ud-Daulah

One Kousik Ghosh through advocate Saugata Banerjee has moved a PIL and stated that Sirajud-Daulah was one of those few Indian rulers who knew the intention of the British right from the beginning and which had prompted him to act against British colonization in Bengal, and therefore, the plea argues that it is our duty to respect the Sirajud-Daulah who fought for Bengal till death against the East India Company.
