पिछले समय से हमारे देश में लेखकों, कलाकारों, चिंतकों और बौद्धिकों के प्रति जिस तरह का हिंसक, अपमानजनक, अवमानना पूर्ण व्यवहार लगातार हो रहा है, जिसकी ताज़ा कड़ी प्रख्यात लेखक और विचारक तथा साहित्य अकादमी पुरस्कार से सम्मानित कन्नड़ साहित्यकार श्री कलबुर्गी की मतांध हिंदुत्ववादी अपराधियों द्वारा की गई कायराना और दहशतनाक हत्या है, उसने मेरे जैसे अकेले लेखक को भीतर से हिला दिया है।
अब यह चुप रहने का और मुँह सिल कर सुरक्षित कहीं छुप जाने का पल नहीं है। वर्ना ये ख़तरे बढ़ते जायेंगे।
मैं साहित्यकार कुलबर्गी जी की हत्या के विरोध में 'मोहन दास' नामक कृति पर २०१०-११ में प्रदान किये गये साहित्य अकादमी पुरस्कार को विनम्रता लेकिन सुचिंतित दृढ़ता के साथ लौटाता हूँ।
अभी गॉंव में हूँ। ७-८ सितंबर तक दिल्ली पहुँचते ही इस संदर्भ में औपचारिक पत्र और राशि भेज दूँगा।
मैं उस निर्णायक मंडल के सदस्य, जिनके कारण 'मोहन दास' को यह पुरस्कार मिला, अशोक वाजपेयी और 10623510_10154630520475231_6724316425713513462_oचित्रा मुद्गल के प्रति आभार व्यक्त करते हुए, यह पुरस्कार वापस करता हूँ।
आप सभी दोस्तों से अपेक्षा है कि आप मेरे इस निर्णय में मेरे साथ बने रहेंगे, पहले की ही तरह।
आपका
उदय प्रकाश।
