Suvendu Adhikari with Sanatan Dharma requested the state government to ask change of date because on this day the ‘Great Calcutta Killings’ happened in 1946.
Bengal opposition BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari with the followers of ‘Sanatan dharma’ has urged West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar to ask TMC to change the Khela Hobe Divas celebration scheduled on August 16 because on this day the ‘Great Calcutta Killings’ happened, which as per them is against the sentiments of Bengalis.
In the afternoon, Adhikari along with the monks went to the Raj Bhawan and requested the Governor to initiate a talk with the State government to reschedule the date of the ‘Khela Hobe Dibas’ celebration.
Accompanied by revered monks, pleaded the Honourable Governor Shri @jdhankhar1 ji to persuade the WB Govt to change the day of the proposed Khela Hobe divas, as any celebration on this day would only make the Bengalis relive the pain of the gory past. pic.twitter.com/ymmGlA4x0l

“Representatives of Sanatan organizations called on Governor WB today to seek change in the date of “Khela Hobe Divas" as it reminds the horrendous memories of Direct Action Day and ‘the week of long knives’ in 1946 that led to killings of thousands" Governor tweeted.
