    Litterateur Sirshendu Mukhopadhyay, one of the finest fiction writers in Bengali literature, has expressed concern over piracy of published works from West Bengal in Bangladesh and called for highest level action to put an end to this practice. Speaking after the launch of "Hariye Jawa Lekha", the 82-year old Ananda Purashkar recipient said, "This is a big problem and the writers are losing interest."

    Past initiatives by Sheikh Hasina government didn't meet desired result

    "Despite some past initiatives and efforts in this regard, those did not meet the desired result. Even there had been the effort by Sheikh Hasina government, but that too yielded little effect," said Mukhopadhyay.

    Several books of the writer had been made into films

    Mukhopadhyay said there should be an end to such practice, or else the writers will lose interest. He said the craze over Bengali writers and their volume of works was much more evident in Bangladesh than in West Bengal. Several books of the writer had been made into films. Mukhopadhyay spoke about rallies announced by intellectuals in protest against recent communal clashes in Bengal.

    Only a handful of miscreants instigate riots: Mukhopadhyay

    Mukhopadhyay said, "Only a handful of miscreants instigate riots. Not the common peace loving people." "Will those miscreants, involved in riots, listen to what we say? Won't they be looking for scope to vandalize and attack people in future as well?" he wondered. The writer said it should not be assumed that some stray incidents have disrupted the communal harmony of the entire country.
