KOLKATA: Veteran freedom fighter and renowned journalist Ranen Mookherjee, who wrote several popular books on Bangladesh politics as also biographies of political leaders under the pen name Krittivas Ojha, died Tuesday following old-age complications. He was 86.

Mookherjee is survived by his daughter, said a family member.

As a school boy, Mookherjee joined the freedom movement after he came in touch with Mahatma Gandhi. He was arrested in 1946 while observing the Rashid Ali Divas.

Later, he joined the all India Forward Bloc and fought the assembly elections twice unsuccessfully as its candidate. He also took part in the food movement of 1959 in West Bengal.

Beginning his journalistic career with Forward Bloc's Bengali mouthpiece Loksevak, Mookherjee at various times was associated with Lokmat, Ganabarta, Dainik Basumati, Bharatkatha, Satyajug, Bartamaan and Sambad Pratidin. He served as the chief reporter of Dainik Basumati.

His political analyses written under the nom de plume Krittivas Ojha were widely read.

He covered the Bangladesh liberation war and had close contacts with Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahaman. His biography of Mujibur Rahaman "Ami Mujib bolchi" was critically acclaimed.

He authored around 30 books, that included biographies of martyr Khudiram Bose, Forward Bloc leader Hemanta Kumar Basu and Communist Party of India-Marxist stalwart Promode Dasgupta.

Mookherjee was one of the founders of the Indian Journalists' Union. He played a leading role in it and served a number of terms as its general secretary and president, and toured a number of countries as part of media delegations.

His body was taken to the Forward Bloc state committee office where its state secretary Ashok Ghosh offered wreaths. Later, at the Press Club, journalists and CPI-M Politburo members Biman Bose and Surjya Kanta Mishra laid wreaths.

Economic freedom in Cambodia worsened over the past year, according to the latest report from the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank based in the US.

Assembled in cooperation with the Wall Street Journal, the 2014 Index of Economic Freedom cites government corruption, a weak judicial system, land grabs, regulatory inefficiencies, a lack of labour freedoms and a government hand in markets as factors contributing to a small backstep.

Cambodia is ranked 108 out of 178 countries surveyed, with an overall score of 57.4, a 1.1-point dip from last years results. The Kingdom is ranked 23 out of 42 countries in the region, and its overall score falls short of the Asia-Pacific average, the authors of the report said.

The annual index ranks countries based on their regulatory and legal environment, the limit of government intervention in the economy and market openness.

Hong Kong tops the rankings with a score of 90.1, with Singapore not far behind. Myanmar was the most improved, and North Korea bottoms out the list at number 178 with a score of just 1.0.

Calls to the Ministry of Economy and Finance and the Press & Quick Reaction Unit at the Council of Ministers were not returned yesterday.
