SAINBARI CASE

A section of print media in West Bengal such as “The Statesman”, “Dainik Bartaman”, “Ananda Bazar Patrika”, “Dainik Pratidin”, Dainik Sangbad”, “Mainstream”, “Dainik Ekdin” have been emitting venom against the CPI (M), its leaders and the Left Front Government in West Bengal. These print media on the pay roll of finance capital and imperialists are bent upon maligning and weakening the working class and democratic movement in the country. A few perverted anti-national intellectuals use these media for suiting their political agenda.

The following article published in the “People’s Democracy” dated 10-01-2010 proves how the perverted and fraud Maoist intellectual and former bureaucrat D. Bandyopadhyay misuses the media to serve the finance capital and imperialists.

“D BANDYOPADHYAY, a former secretary of revenue and erstwhile secretary of rural development in the government of India, fills an entire article with slander in a recent piece titled, "Citizens Beware! Killer Convicts at Large!" in the Mainstream magazine dated December 4-10, 2009. What is surprising is that there is total lack of editorial due diligence in publishing this malicious piece written by the former bureaucrat, whose motive is clear - demonising serving ministers and senior leaders of the ruling Communist Party of India (Marxist) - CPI (M) in West Bengal. The context that provides the author to make such a willful character assassination and deliberate falsification of facts is the Sainbari incident in March 1970, where two brothers - sympathisers of the Congress party were killed.

These murders were made the pretext to falsely implicate the entire leadership of the CPI (M) in Burdwan district. It must be noted that this was done when West Bengal was under President's rule and the Congress party was going all out to target the CPI (M) and its cadres.

A SPURIOUS PREMISE

The premise of Bandyopadhyay's article is that 17 of the miscreants who were responsible for the murder of the Sain brothers - the author does not care to mention their names - Pronob and Moloy Sain - were named as "accused" and eight of them, were "convicted" and life imprisonment was imposed upon them by the District and Sessions Judge of Burdwan in 1971. Of the eight thus convicted- he names Benoy Konar (who is current Central Committee member of the CPI [M]), Politburo Member and West Bengal industries minister Nirupam Sen, Manik Roy (mentioned as "absconding"), Amal Haldar and Paltoo Bandyopadhyay.

Bandyopadhyay also asserts that the "convicts went on appeal before the Calcutta High Court twice. On both occasions their appeal was rejected." He then goes on to say that the convicts did not "curiously" prefer to appeal before the Supreme Court and instead "waited for an opportunity to get them out of the prison by foul means". Later, when the CPI (M) came to power, "all the convicts of the Sai murder case were released on "parole"". Bandyopadhyay's premise is that the "convicts" were released on "parole" by political means, after getting to "power". He then makes a further assertion that the "records of the case" were "pilfered" from the "archives of the Calcutta High Court through their [the CPI (M)'s] committed members of the "Coordination Committee" among the employees of the High Court".

Thus framing his case for the article's headline that "killer convicts are at large", Bandyopadhyay then goes on to construct an elaborate pack of cards bringing the Singur and Nandigram "incidents" into the picture as he makes scurrilous after scandalous claim about the persons in question.

HOW THE PREMISE IS FALSE

A cursory look at the facts at hand would be enough to dismiss Bandyopadhyay's entire article as a pack of lies, wrapped in a monument of malice intended to deliberately attack whom he perceives as his political enemy (Bandyopadhyay's current political inclinations are well known - he is an advisor to the maverick and obstructionist Trinamul Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee).

Firstly, Bandyopadhyay gets it wrong about the procedural cases since the incident. As the case order of the "State v Ajit Mukherjee and 83 others" also known as the "Sainbari case" in the court of the 3rd Additional Sessions Judge (Shri R K Kar), Alipore points out clearly –

"On 17.3.70 at 12:30 PM, one Dilip Kumar Bhattacharya lodged an FIR at Burdwan Police Station...".

"On the basis of the said FIR the Burdwan Police Station started P.S Case no 50 dt. 17.3.70 and took up investigation of the case. After completion of the investigation the police submitted a chargesheet against 111 persons on 8.2.71 under various sections of the Penal code including sections 148, 149/302 and 149/436 I.P.C. before the S.D.J.M Burdwan. "..

"the accd. persons made a prayer before the Sessions Judge, Burdwan for the transfer of the case outside the Burdwan town".

"The ld. Sessions judge rejected the prayer of the accd. persons and so they moved the Hon'ble High Court. On 21.2.71 the Hon'ble High Court transferred the case to Alipore and the S.D.J.M Alipore committed the case to the court of Sessions on 13.6.74."

"Charges were framed against the accd. persons on 13.8.77 and on 20.9.77, the ld. Public Prosecutor filed an application u/s 321 Cr.P.C seeking the court's consent for withdrawal from the prosecution of the accd. persons".

The order in the "State vs Ajit Mukherjee and 83 others case" - passed by the Third Court of Additional Sessions Judge, Alipore dated 30 September 1977 and another dated 6 May 1978 - eventually acquitted the 83 accused persons from the charges framed against them. But we are going ahead of the story. As the case records points out, the Bandyopadhyay claim that "eight" of the "17 accused" were convicted and "life imprisonment" was imposed upon them is a fairy tale. Whatever follows - that the "convicts" went on appeal against their "sentence" to the High Court and that eventually they were released on "parole" are thus completely false and flows from the rather flowing imagination of the said author. It also appears very clearly that the numbers 8 and 17 are discretely chosen to make a scurrilous point. Amal Haldar's name for example is not part of the 83 accused in the "State vs Ajit Mukherjee..." case.

How could someone who has not been convicted appeal for "parole"? And from where did Bandyopadhyay make his claim that eight persons were convicted and sentenced to "life imprisonment"? And why would anyone who has not been "convicted" appeal to the Supreme Court to overturn a judgement of "conviction" if that never happened? These are questions that deserve legitimate answers from the obviously deranged former bureaucrat.

That Bandyopadhyay's later assertions on the CPI (M) using its "power" to grant "parole" to the "convicted" and that the records of the case archive were destroyed are nonsense is proved from the "State vs Ajit Mukherjee..." case records. Curiously, Bandyopadhyay also makes other assertions that the Registrar General, Calcutta High Court had "shockingly" reported to the Supreme Court that the High Court had no paper relating to the Sainbari case, when no appeal to the non-existing conviction was ever filed in the High Court! The author continues in his nonsensical vein claiming that the "CPI (M) government had granted unconditional and unlimited parole" and hopes that the "Supreme Court gave an order revoking the parole of the convicts". It is mentioned in the article that one Joydeep Mukherjee has filed a writ petition before the Supreme Court to find out how the "convicts" have been "enjoying unrestricted and unconditional parole for the last 32 years". As established before, these are all false premises and one wonders how the Supreme Court could admit the petition which is certainly a false affidavit - a sure case of contempt of Court.

So what essentially is the truth about the trials that followed the Sainbari murder incidents? We should again take recourse to the same "State vs Ajit Mukherjee.." case order. Here is the timeline as events happened.

FACTS OF THE CASE AND ORDER

Following the transfer of the case to the Sessions court on 13.6.74, "Charges with Five Heads" were filed against 83 people, seven of whom are mentioned by Bandyopadhyay. The charges were that the 83 mentioned in the chargesheet were part of "about 1500" people engaging in "unlawful assembly" at Protapswar Sibtala, Burdwan and accused of participating in the murder of Malay Sain, his brother Pranab Sen and family tutor Jiten Roy, in rioting and looting and setting the house on fire etc.

The case order in "State vs Ajit Mukherjee.." dismissed the charges. It heard out a statement by the Public Prosecutor who had filed an application u/s 321 Cr.P.C for withdrawal from the prosecution of the accused persons with the consent of the court, on following grounds -
·The Public Prosecutor stated that he is convinced that there was an occurence on the relevant date and relevant time in the house of the Sains, but the accused persons did not participate in that occurence. That most of the accused belonged to one political party and most of the witnesses belonged to a rival political party, and that the accused persons had been falsely implicated in the case. That the investigation had not been fair and impartial and that the rival political party directed the course of the investigation and the evidence collected by the investigation agency was grossly tainted.

·That, as two major political parties were involved in the case, if instant prosecution was carried to its logical end, it is almost certain that feelings or acrimony and hatred would be engineered between the local workers of the said two political parties, and that the current (then) situation in Burdwan town is quite peaceful and the trial is bound to disturb the peaceful atmosphere that is prevailing in the town.

·That, the then State government (of the Left Front) had effected a policy of "Forgive and Forget" which was directed at putting an end to all political and ideological bitterness of the past.

The judge in his order, examined the grounds of withdrawal by looking at similar judicial precedents and on the basis of principles laid down by the Supreme Court in considering such grounds.

Vis-a-vis the first ground, the judge observed that there was a case of recantation of testimony by the person who filed the FIR; that he was unsure of the numbers mentioned in the chargesheet and that following the incident, leaders of the rival political party had colluded with the investigating officer in getting statements recorded from various witnesses. There were several discrepancies with the statements given by the witnesses, in the manner the FIR was filed and in the way the investigation was done. These facts and circumstances supported the Public Prosecutor's submission that the investigation had not been impartial and that he would not be able to lead cogent and convincing evidence to warrant a conviction of the accused was not without basis.

Plus the general political atmosphere in Burdwan Town at that time, featuring political murders and attacks on rival political parties, the general inaction of the police during the incident - either to halt the miscreants' attack on the Sain house as a retaliation to an alleged bomb attack on them or to apprehend them after the incident. The judge also referred to other precedents on incidents arising out of rivalry between different associations and dismissal of charges owing to the need to continue to maintain harmony post such incidents. In the light of prevalence of relative calm and peace eight years since the Sainbari incident, the judge mentions that the Public Prosecutor's submission of withdrawal on such grounds deserved consideration.

However on the third ground of the Left Front government's policy of "forgive and forget", the judge clearly mentions that "the policy of Government is no consideration for giving consent for withdrawal" citing other precedents.

In sum, the judge considered the other two grounds enough to not find sufficient reason to withhold consent for withdrawal. Thus, the accused were acquitted of the offences under Cr.PC section 321(b). All these facts and details are available in the court order.

Coming back to Bandyopadhyay's article, it is clear that the article was written to throw mud on CPI (M) functionaries by building a monument of falsehood about "conviction", "release on parole" and "destruction of records". In doing so and by using expressions such as "black mamba", "killer convicts", "nasty killer" to describe a serving and elected minister and other public functionaries, the author only further sullies his already discredited image. What is striking is the absolute lack of editorial due diligence as well on this article. Any editor worth her/his salt would have taken pains to check the veracity of the claims as well as been tempted to use editorial standards to vet some of the abominable language used. But alas, so consumed is the editor in buying the spurious monument of lies, there is none of that necessary editorial work.

That this deranged writer is a trusted advisor of the leader of the chief party in the opposition in the state is a testament to the state of affairs that exists in the anti-Left Front alliance in West Bengal. Considering the track record of the leader in question - in the sheer mindlessness, in the nonsensical obstructionism, in the poverty of logic and reason in the Trinamul's politics, it is not a surprise that she keeps such abominable company to advise her.

PRO-NAXALITE MEDHA PATKAR HECKLED BY TRIBALS FOR HER ADVOCACY FOR MAOIST BUTCHERS

TIMES OF INDIA: 08-01-2010
Suchandana Gupta/TNN

Bhopal: Tribals angry with activists fighting for human rights of Naxalites, while ignoring poor adivasis – threw rotten eggs and tomatoes at Magsaysay award winner Medha Patkar and Sandeep Pandey as they reached Dantewada town in Chattisgarh on Wednesday.

While Patkar, being a woman, did not face much humiliation, her companion Pandey was pulled down from a motorcycle and given a hiding. He was pushed around and asked why activists had done nothing for the tribals, but found cause to support Maoists.

Patkar, who leads the Narmada Bachao Andolan, and Pandey, who founded Asha for education, were on their way to participate in a jan sunwai (people’s court) in the Naxalite-hit areas on Thursday.

Patkar and Pandey were on a bike when the tribals carrying banners of “Maa Danteswari Adivasi Swabhiman Manch” surrounded them asking them to go back.

Shouting slogans like “Wapas jao, wapas jao (Go back), the tribals said NGOs “support Maoists under the pretext of human rights”.

Police resorted to lathicharge to rescue Patkar and Pandey. Dantewada SP Ambreesh Mishra, however, said the two should have been more careful…………..

SOCIAL ACTIVIST MEDHA PATKAR IN DEFENCE OF MAOISTS IN INDIA

The following letter has been sent to the Hon’ble Chairperson, National Human Rights Commission, New Delhi by E-mail

The Chairperson
National Human Rights Commission

SUB: NHRC SILENT OVER VIOLATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS BY THE MAOISTS WEST BENGAL

Most respected Sir,

As an ordinary humble citizen of the country, I would like to invite your immediate attention to the following fact.

The National Human Rights Commission was very much active during the episodes of Nandigram, Singur and Rizwanur Rahaman. But it is unfortunately maintaining complete silence over gruesome murders committed by the Maoists in West Bengal.

In this connection, it would not be out of place to mention that Arundhati Roy, Mahasweta Devi, Medha Patkar, actress Aparna Sen and other intellectuals and human right activists sharing same opinion and boat are very much apprehensive and worried for the safety and security of the Maoists in India, who have been carrying on their nefarious and criminal inhuman brutalities on the common people ranging from amassing huge wealth, destruction of natural resources, plunder, rape, murder, extortion, blowing up schools, health centres, railway tracks, torture and Kangaroo trial using the indigenous people as pawns and human shields. Out of her utter sympathy and compassion for the Maoist butchers, social activist Arundhati Roy has initiated a mass petition on 12th October 2009 to the Prime Minister of India urging him to stop offensive against them and their brutalities. She has obtained the signatures of respected Noam Chomsky and other renowned dignitaries within the country and abroad to make the petition more acceptable, significant and weighty in order to glorify and justify the Maoist cruelties and violence particularly on the indigenous people. If Arundhati Roy and other signatories were really interested for the well being of the indigenous people, they would have also petitioned openly to the perverted Maoist butchers in the same manner, style and spirit urging them to desist from wreaking havoc on the indigenous people by using them as pawn and shield for suiting the tainted Maoist political agenda. But it is not so. The one and only one aim and objective of the petition is to create sympathy for the Maoists and justify, glorify and legitimize their mindless brutalities.

The society demands timely disposal of the dead body of even a creature. But the entire world witnessed with horror how the dead bodies of 4 poor tribal CPI (M) cadres butchered by Maoist-TMC-Congress-SUCI Alliance were kept in open for 5 days without allowing disposal by the Maoist-TMC criminals at Lalgarh in West Bengal. Their relatives were neither allowed to come near nor touch the bodies. The Maoists and TMC workers danced and sang around the bodies in the same manner as is practiced by cannibals. Their brutality and inhumanity surpassed all limits of human tolerance and society.

These Indian intellectuals and human right activists had played an important role during Nandigram and Singur episodes to extend moral and logical support to the rainbow alliance of TMC, Congress, Maoists and SUCI under Mamata Banerjee. They had unleashed widespread virulent, venomous, exaggerated and politically motivated campaign throughout the world and organised processions, rallies, meetings, and mass signatures and so on against the mainstream Leftists over the unfortunate death of 14 persons in Nandigram resulting from provoked police firing where as they maintain complete silence over regular murders committed by the Maoists. Many of them had directly or indirectly worked actively for the victory of Maoist and Mamata Banerjee supported Congress-TMC-SUCI candidates in West Bengal in the last Parliamentary elections held in May 2009 making the Nandigram, Singur and Rizwanur Rahaman episodes as important election issues.

Despite this, these Indian intellectuals all along shamelessly pretend to be impartial, neutral and non-political.

More than 87% landowners had consented to offer their land for the establishment of an automobile factory at Singur. But it was abandoned due to the political agitation of Mamata Banerjee and her team consisting of opposition political parties, Maoists, some intellectuals, few human right activists and a section of motivated media. Singur had nothing to do with SEZ.

Similarly, in spite of repeated assurances by the Chief Minister of West Bengal that no chemical hub would be set up at Nandigram, Mamata Banerjee and her team had caused the unfortunate incident on 14th March 2007 by way of utter provocation and manipulation resulting in 14 unfortunate deaths.

Had these intellectuals been impartial, unprejudiced and unbiased the incidents of neither Singur nor Nandigram would have taken place.

The Maoist-TMC-Congress-SUCI butchers under the leadership of the Union Railway Minister have murdered brutally hundreds of CPI (M) and other Leftist leaders, cadres and supporters in West Bengal. They have blown up school buildings, health centres, mobile towers, railway lines, railways stations and what not. But these intellectuals and human right activists are maintaining complete silence. They think that only the Maoists are human beings. Except the Maoists, none in the country can have any human rights and the murder of hundreds of people by Maoists is, therefore, justified and a need for the society. So, they have not yet uttered even a single word to condemn the crimes of the Maoists.

Every murder is unfortunate and condemnable. Had this group of intellectuals and human right activists played an impartial role and stopped lending moral and logical support to the Maoist butchers, the unfortunate deaths at Nandigram and other parts of the country could have been avoided easily. But the fact was that Mamata Banerjee and her rainbow alliance needed some dead bodies for winning the parliamentary elections in West Bengal riding over sympathy wave and the intellectuals and human rights activists presented the same in time to suit her political agenda.

The National Human Rights Commission had taken Nandigram, Singur and Rizwanur Rahaman episodes very seriously and sent fact-finding teams to West Bengal. This action on the part of NHRC received wide coverage in the media at that time. But today it is also completely silent over the murders committed by the Maoists in West Bengal and other parts of the country. As a result, this has raised many a questions in the minds of the people.

Most of the Maoist victims are teachers, grocers, daily wage earners, farmers, labourers, students, rickshaw pullers, hawkers and people belonging to other weaker sections of the society.

Apart from this, 41 police personnel 1 doctor, 1 nurse, 4 government employees on duty were also killed by Maoists. Shankar Samanta and many others murdered at Nandigram and Khejuri by them are not mentioned in the above list.

Under the circumstances, I would request you to kindly look into the matter seriously and ensure that this procession of death is stopped immediately in the interest of human rights of all irrespective of political affiliation, caste, creed and religion.

Thanking you while awaiting prompt action.

Again with regards,

Yours faithfully,

CPI (M), CPI, RSP & FB WRITE TO THE PRIME MINISTER OF INDIA DR. MANMOHAN SINGH ON IRRESPONSIBLE AND DANGEROUS MOVES OF THE RAILWAYS MINISTER

New Delhi, December 4: Following is the memorandum given to PM by the leaders of Left parties -- Sitaram Yechury, Basudeb Acharia, Shyamal Chakraborty, Prabodh Panda, Manohar Tirki, Barun Mukherjee.December 4th 2009

Dr. Manmohan Singh

Hon’ble Prime Minister of India

New Delhi

Sub: Irresponsible and dangerous moves of the Railways Minister

Dear Prime Minister,

1. You have called the ‘Maoists’ the greatest internal threat to the security of the country, and yet, the Railway minister has kept providing these elements with her full-fledged support in the media and through her declarations and acts. She has also repeatedly called for the release of Chhatradhar Mahato, named accused in murder cases. The Railway minister is constantly demanding the withdrawal of Joint Forces from West Bengal, which will only facilitate the activities of the Maoists. Within hours of a landmine blast in West Midnapore on 27.11.2009, which killed two policemen, the Railway Minister denigrated the Joint Forces.

2. The said minister has claimed before the media inte ralia that the violence being committed on and against the leaders and workers of the CPI (M) is not the handiwork of the CPI (Maoist) but a result of internecine feud. She has called for the arrest of the Bengal Chief Minister and in the same breath the release of Chhatradhar Mahato while repeatedly calling also for application of ART 355 and 356 in Bengal. The ‘Maoists’ receive a moral boost from her declarations and deeds. And almost simultaneously the Maoist Leader Kishanji reciprocated by airing his loud suggestions that the present Railway Minister should be the Chief Minister of West Bengal.

3. The annexed copies of the media reports would make it clear, the AITC and the CPI (Maoist), have long been engaged in destabilizing the political situation of the state by means of assassination, mayhem, arson, committing crimes on women and generally seeking to create a situation where the democratic fabric of the state in put under great duress. The Maoist along with AITC activists are forcing people at gunpoint to join their rally and barricades.4. Annexure I A, B, and C provide a detailed list of the leaders and workers of the CPI (M) and Left Front assassinated by the Maoist and the people’s War Group (PWG) from 2001. The number of those killed from June 2006 itself is 326. The ‘Maoists’ and the AITC have also killed, scores of common men, women, children, as well as police and medical personnel.

5. The AITC leadership is a close patron of the leadership of the People’s Committee against Police Atrocities (PCAPA), and its supremo Chhatradhar Mahato. Annexure II A, B, and C provide examples of this state-of-affairs from media reports.

6. Annexure III in the form of a CD contains photos that show the Railway Minister, Chhatradhar Mahato, and a section of the intelligentsia in confabulation in the area of Lalgarh, which has been a ‘Maoist’ stronghold. The PCAPA is nothing but a mass front of the CPI (Maoist) as reports in the media have repeatedly noted.

7. We draw your attention to the recent declaration of the ‘Maoist’ leader ‘Kishanji’ that since they have provided support to the AITC at Nandigram against the CPI (M), the AITC should come forward and help them at Lalgarh and adjacent areas.

8. The most recent incident of the blockade of the Rajdhani Express exposes the AITC game plan further. Even as the blockade was going on and graffiti being painted on the sides of the bogies calling for the release of Chhatradhar Mahato who is presently in police custody, the railways minister blamed the ‘Marxists’, meaning the CPI (M) that has held the train up. To add insult to injury, a full 24 hours earlier to the blockade, an AITC central minister Shri Sisir Adhikari had claimed before the media that he ‘knew that the blockade would take place.’ The source of ‘knowledge’ of this minister may kindly be probed and the nation kept informed.

9. At a time when the ‘Maoists’ have laid claim to the murder of an AITC worker Nishikanta Mondal at Nandigram on 22 September 2009, the Railway Minister keeps harping on the untruth that he was ‘killed by the CPI (M).’ On 29.11.2009, she has also said that she was privy to clues of the murder.
10. We enclose as Annexure II A and B the English translation of what has appeared in the Bengali print media on the nexus between the AITC-PCAPA-‘Maoists’ and as Annexure IV we enclose the original reports in Bengali that has appeared in the Bengali print media.

11. We urge upon you to take appropriate implicational notice of the developments.
Thanking you,

Yours sincerely,

Thanks for your letter. What you say somewhat differs from the information that was conveyed by the Indian analysts who initiated and signed the petition. You should really contact them.

NOAM CHOMSKY IS INFORMED ABOUT MAOIST BRUTALITIES IN WEST BENGAL

13-12-2009


Mr. Noam Chomsky
Professor of Emeritus of Linguistics
MIT
USA

Most Respected Sir,

I am a regular reader of “Analytical Monthly Review”. A letter dated 12th October 2009 written to the Prime Minister of India in connection with offensive against the Maoists has been published in esteemed journal of October 2009 (Vol. 7, No. 7). It contains signatures of many eminent personalities of the country and abroad including that of you. I have gone through the same very thoroughly and carefully line by line and submit hereunder my observations.

Most humbly I want to contradict the misrepresentation and misinformation made while depicting the picture of West Bengal.

(1) The agitations in Singur and Nandigram were never peaceful or democratic as stated. They were purely politically motivated and violent in all respect carried out jointly by finance capital, imperialists, anti-Communist, anti-Leftist and all fundamentalist forces in union with ‘pseudo’ intellectuals to destabilize the Left Front Government in West Bengal.

The land at Singur was not acquired for SEZ as alleged. It was acquired for an automobile factory.

Out of 997.11 acres of land acquired, the landowners of 745.11 acres of land have consented by accepting compensation to part with their land for the factory. Out of the 252 acres of land, the landowners of 125 acres of land refused to accept compensation. The landowners of the remaining 127 acres of land could not be compensated due to litigation amongst their family members though they were ready to accept the compensation. It means 87.46% of landowners have consented for the factory. Landowners of only 12.54% acres of land have refused to consent.

The total number of landowners of 997.11 acres of land is 13,491. Out of this, 11,162 landowners of 745.11 acres of land had offered the land by accepting the compensation. Their percentage is 86.66%.

540 landowners could not accept compensation due to litigation involving their 127acres of land. They had consented to offer their land for the factory. Their percentage is only 4.

The actual unwilling landowners are 1,800 who own 125 acres of land. Their percentage is only 13.34.

In short, out of 997.11 acres of land, owners of only 125 acres of land refused to part with their land. It means owners of 87.46% land have consented for the factory. Owners of only 12.54% acres of land have refused to consent. Moreover, out of 13,491 landowners, only 1,800 landowners are unwilling. It means 86.66% of landowners are willing whereas only 13.34% of the owners are unwilling.

It means more than 80% of the landowners were ready for the factory. But the resistance of only 13% prevailed over 80%. The Kolkata High Court has already declared the land acquisition at Singur legal in all respect.

The facts and circumstances compel the undersigned to come to the conclusion that the term ‘Democracy’ should be redefined afresh.

(2) If anyone goes through the developments before 14th March 2007, he will find that the Chief Minister had stated categorically that there would be no forced land acquisition in Nandigram. On 9th February the CM pointedly told in a public meeting in Khejuri that without the consent of the people of Nandigram nothing would be done. Later, on a number of occasions during the last one-month, the CM had repeatedly stated in very clear terms that the proposed Chemical Hub would be shifted if the people of Nandigram did not accept the proposal. Even after that, there was no respite from the atrocities perpetrated by the Bhumi Rakkha Committee, making it amply clear that the question was not at all that of “land acquisition” but a political strategy to maintain a forced acquisition of Nandigram by a combination of political forces.

The district administration, meanwhile called a series of all Party meetings and peace meetings, mostly boycotted by TMC, Congress and Bhumi Rakkha Committee. The last such meeting was organized on 10th March where representatives from Left Front partners and BJP were present. TMC, Congress and Bhumi Rakkha Committee declined the invitation. It was decided in the meeting that the administration would move to restore reconstruction work and normalcy in the area and anyone resisting the constitutional duties would be legally dealt with.

On 14th March, the police entered the area after prior announcements through loudspeaker. When they reached Sonachura, they were attacked with bombs and guns. In the ensuing confrontation 13 people were killed. One more person was killed due to bomb injury.

In spite of this categorical declaration, the people of Nandigram were misinformed and misled by Mamata Banerjee and her rainbow alliance of TMC-Maoists-Congress-SUCI-BJP-Muslims Fundamentalists-pseudo intellectuals incited the villagers by resorting to unprecedented distortion of facts, lies, twisting of facts, false propaganda, provocations, misrepresentations and slanders for gaining political mileage. It had nothing to do with the interests of the peasantry.

The rainbow alliance evicted thousands of supporters of the CPI (M) and other mainstream Leftist parties from their ancestral homes along with their family members. This was done to capture Nandigram and other areas for electoral gains only. Many of the CPI (M) supporters were murdered brutally. The Maoist-TMC goons raped even a school going girl Sunita Mondal.

The state government tried repeatedly to ensure the safe return of the evictees to their ancestral homes. It convened all party meetings again and again. But Mamata Banerjee and others refused to attend the same for an amicable settlement. Ultimately, the start government tried to ensure the return of the evictees with police help. It was in now way an attempt to capture the lands for SEZ as alleged.

If the intellectuals had adopted a stand neutrally, impartially and judiciously without prejudice, the unfortunate incident of 14th March 2007 could have been avoided easily. But they were so much obsessed with anti-Communism and anti-Leftism that they used even the slightest rumour or incident or pretext to malign and destabilize the Left Front Government. They, therefore, needed some dead bodies for their ulterior motive.

The result was the unfortunate incident of 14th March 2007, which cost 14 valuable lives. It could have been avoided easily if the opposition and the anti-Communist intellectuals had settled the matter with the government across the table.

After this incident, a hate and malicious campaign was launched to the effect that hundreds of workmen and children were raped and murdered by CPI (M) supporters. But the ‘pseudo’ intellectuals and the opposition could not prove even a single case of rape or murder.

Still now, thousands of CPI (M) supporters and their families remain evicted from Nandigram and Khejuri. The hoisting of red flag has been banned in Nandigram, Khejuri and other adjacent areas. If this is not anti-Communism and anti-Leftism, I do not know what else is.

(3) The developments taking place in Junglemahal areas falling under West Midnapur, Purulia and Bankura district of West Bengal have not started all on a sudden.

Shibaram Satpathi of Sarenga in Bankura was the first CPI (M) supporter who was murdered brutally by the Maoists on 10-04-01. Thereafter, Maoist-TMC goons have murdered one after another CPI (M) leader, cadre and supporter. The Maoist-TMC goons had murdered another 47 CPI (M) leaders and supporters till 01-11-2008 as detailed below.

The Maoists were able to create a reign of terror in the entire Junglemahal area through murder, loot and arson with the help of Mamata Banerjee and her rainbow alliance.

Then came 02-11-2008. On this date the Maoists tried to assassinate the Chief Minister of West Bengal while he was returning after laying the foundation stone of a steel plant at Shalboni. He narrowly escaped. It very naturally invited administrative action. The result was the formation of the “People’s Committee against Police Atrocities” by the Maoists. Till parliamentary elections on 30-04-2009, the following CPI (M) supporters were killed by the Maoists.

More than 90% of the victims murdered by the Maoists in Junglemahal areas are indigenous people. They have been slaughtered by branding them as agents of police and on other pretexts. But the fact of the matter is that more than 90% of them are from the poor and weaker sections of the society such as grocers, daily wage earners, hawkers, teachers, students, artists, players, farmers and so on. They have fallen prey to the bullets of the butchers for their being the CPI (M) supporters only.

Now, the question arises, how many Maoists have been killed during this period in West Bengal. Only few. The number is undoubtedly nominal. It is, therefore, not the Left Front Government but the Maoists have unleashed a reign of terror on the people particularly tribals.

The society demands timely disposal of the dead body of even a creature. But the entire world witnessed with horror how the dead bodies of 4 poor tribal CPI (M) cadres butchered by Maoist-TMC-Congress-SUCI Alliance were kept in open for 5 days without disposal by the Maoist-TMC criminals at Lalgarh in West Bengal. Their relatives were neither allowed to come near nor touch the bodies. The Maoists and TMC workers danced and sang around the bodies in the same manner as is practiced by cannibals. Their brutality and inhumanity surpassed all limits of human tolerance and society.

Thousands of CPI (M) cadres and their families have been evicted from their ancestral homes. TMC-Maoist-Congress goons, rapists and murderers have torched their houses. They have been rendered jobless in these hard days of existence. The families of the murdered persons and others have been thrown into the streets for starvation.

The Maoists and the pseudo intellectuals talk much against Congress Party which is running government at the centre and the state sponsored terror. But all of them had actually worked actively to ensure the victory of 26 candidates belonging to the rainbow alliance of TMC-Congress-SUCI in West Bengal in the last parliamentary elections. The UPA Government at the centre survives on their support. If candidates of the Left Front had won the elections, they would not have certainly supported the Congress Party to form the government. On the other hand, they would have raised their voice vehemently against the pro-imperialist polices of the government as done in the past. Moreover, the strength of the UPA Government in the parliament would have been reduced drastically. As a result, the UPA Government could not have been successful in taking boldly and easily anti-people policies as they do now.

The Maoists and the pseudo intellectuals have thus strengthened the Congress Party and the UPA Government by way of weakening the mainstream Leftists in the country. They still do so. But they speak to the contrary shamelessly. Instead of Congress and its allies, they have targeted the mainstream Leftists as their main enemies.

In fact, the Maoists and the ‘pseudo’ intellectuals have been dancing to the tunes of the finance capital, big business houses and imperialists to weaken the Leftist movement in the country to serve the vested interests for political and monetary gains. In order to conceal their game plan they take the pretexts of indigenous people, welfare and such other words.

If they are really interested in the welfare of the indigenous people, why don’t they withdraw their support to the Congress Government? Moreover, they would have appealed to the Maoists to desist from murdering innocent indigenous people on different ploys.

The real face and mask of the Maoists and the ‘pseudo’ intellectuals and their hypocrisy stand exposed before the nation and the whole world. Their only target is the CPI (M) but not imperialism, finance capital, big business house or Congress led government at the centre.

In conclusion, it can be said that the one and the only one aim of these diehard anti-Communists and anti-Leftists is to instal a Fascist minded most reactionary person as the Chief Minister of West Bengal by destabilizing the Left Front Government. It would not be out of place to mention that the countries in Eastern Europe and Latin America have already witnessed such exercises.

Thanking you,
