In the labyrinth of Indian politics, where personalities often emerge from diverse backgrounds, the enigmatic figure of Abhijit Ganguly casts a shadow of controversy and intrigue. Formerly a judge, Ganguly has attempted to navigate the tumultuous waters of politics, yet his journey has been fraught with challenges and scrutiny. Despite his assertions and confrontational demeanor, he has struggled to garner widespread recognition or acceptance among the populace.

অভিজিৎ গাঙুলি প্রাক্তন বিচারপতি হিসেবে কিছুটা এগিয়ে দাবী করলেও বাস্তবে তা নয়। মাঠে ময়দানে লড়াই করে জনপরিচিতি সেইভাবে অর্জন করতে পারেনি। কারণ তার রাজনৈতিক পরিসর নিতান্ত কম। সর্বস্তরের মানুষ তাকে চেনে না। তাছাড়া বিচারপতি থাকাকালীন তেমন কোন সুরাহ দিতে পারেনি চাকরিপ্রার্থীদের। বরং বারবার হুমকি সুলভ বক্তব্য দিয়েছে,  এবং দিয়ে চলেছে। নিজেকে বিষধর সাপ বলে বাহবা নিতেও পিছু হাটেনি। মানুষ মানুষকে চাইবে সাপকে নয় এটা বোঝা উচিত। তাছাড়া তার বক্তব্য এসেছে সে বিচারক থাকাকালীন রাজনৈতিক যোগাযোগ রেখেছিলেন।  কি ভয়ংকর কথা! বিচারের নামে প্রহসন হল না কি- তা বিবোচ্য হাওয়া উচিত।  একটা সংবাদমাধ্যম তাকে নিয়ে বেশ তর্জায় মেতেছে, আর সে সেই তর্জায় সামিলও হচ্ছে।  বহু আইনজীবী তাকে নানা বিতর্কে ও প্রশ্নবানে বিদ্ধ করছে চলেছে - যা যুক্তিসঙ্গত।  হাস্যকর মানুষটা যদি জয়ী হয় তাহলে তমলুকের মানুষ একটা জোকারকে ভারতসভায় প্রতিনিধিত্ব করতে পাঠাল, ঠিক যেমন নুসরত, মিমি ও লকেট ছিল গত নির্বাচনের পর উঠে আসা জোকার, টিকটকার, বা হিংসা বপনকারী নেত্রী।  মানুষ ভুল করে। বারবার ভুল করে। এবারও হয়ত করবে। কিন্তু অধিকার...

বিষন্ন দুটো চোখে, এখনও তাকাও, আমার দিকে, আমি কি এখনও সেই, সেই দূরবর্তী কেউ, প্রচীন খনিজ কিছু, বা মহাকালের শান্ত পলি,  বা, আমাকে কি আজও ভাবো, প্রত্নতাত্ত্বিক এক অনার্য রাক্ষস, কি ক্ষতি করেছি, কালো চামড়ার আমি, তাই, অন্ধকার সিক্ত হয়েছি  বিষাক্ত অতীতের তকমা লাগানো দেহ নিয়ে এসে বলছি...  শত কাম, ক্রোধ, বিসর্জন না দিয়েও বড় সাধ লাগে, হে আর্য নারী, মুখোমুখি বসবার। বড় সাধ লাগে হিসেবের খাতা দেখবার।  ©Sani
