The mortal remains of former West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee will be donated to a state-run medical college and hospital in Kolkata on Friday, as per his last wish.

The CPI(M) Politburo member and former minister in the previous Left Front regime, Dr Surjya Kanta Mishra told media persons that the former Chief Minister had pledged his body for the purpose of research for medical students.

“His body will be preserved on Thursday. On Friday morning his body will be taken to CPI(M) state headquarters and kept there for some time for people to pay homage.

“Apart from that several party leaders including Politburo members will be coming to pay their tributes.

“Thereafter his body will be donated at any state-run medical college and hospital, which will be decided after consulting with the state health department,” Dr Mishra said.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has issued a statement expressing condolences to the bereaved family members and his party colleagues and said the departed leader will be provided with a ceremonial honour during his last journey and rites.

“Shocked and saddened by the sudden demise of the former Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee. I have known him for several decades, and visited him a few times when he was ill and effectively confined to his home in the last few years. My very sincere condolences to Meera di and Suchetan, at this hour of grief.

“I communicate my condolences to the members of the CPI(M) party and all his followers. We have already taken a decision that we shall give him full respect and ceremonial honour during his last journey and rites,” the Chief Minister’s statement read.
