Litterateur Sirshendu Mukhopadhyay, one of the finest fiction writer 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', (Collection of Lost Writings), the 82-year old Ananda Purashkar recipient said, "This is a big problem and the writers are losing interest."
Asked about the rallies announced by some intellectuals in protest against recent communal clashes in Bengal, Mukhopadhyay said, "Only a handful of miscreants instigate riots. Not the common peace loving people."
