Dear all, we can continue the debate either for or against CPM/MAMATA but first let us start thinking like human beings. Some heads are going down in shame because of the bandh call. I ask those friends to see the footage shown by Tara News & Kolkata TV (both went off air from evening for unknown reasons). Tell me friends - when the state machinery adopts a fascist stance to capture fertile lands from peasants and resistance results in murder(20 by last count, more injured will die in the course), what else can be done to protest,except calling a bandh? The only other way is the ultra left way of doing things. Is that more agreeable? We, the people who got net access, mostly belong to the middle class who stands to gain most from industrialisation. Shall we keep our eyes closed to state sponsored terrorism for petty gains?
P.S. : am no fan of mamta either. she needs issues, thats all. but what about the poor peasants of nandigram who are being killed by the state for trying to stick to their only means of livelihood?
