Conspiracy of Silence on Nandigram%u2019s Muslim Victims
by antonio on Nov 20, 2007 11:31 AM

Fresh updates - Belatedly Barkha Dutt breaks silence but stops short of demanding justice and accountability, more nonsense from other media types and finally the Congress reluctance to criticize the CPI-M

Also read Indian Express on how gangrape victim and her missing daughters have no justice from Police while CPI-M mob stands guard

In the perverse value system eschewed by Sitaram Yechury the Tehelka that was not is germane for discussion in Parliament but the CPI-Mafioso%u2019s war on the Muslims of Nandigram is not.

So what perverse logic did Yechury offer ?

Nandigram was a state law and order subject

Tehelka however was about state patronage to a communal carnage

a fundamental feature of the Constitution - secularism was violated

It is surprising Mr. Yechury expects to be taken seriously by the people of this nation with such specious logic.

Let us see why Mr. Yechury%u2019s logic is specious

- the majority of the victims in Nandigram were Muslim, a fact highlighted first by Offstumped and since reported by the Pioneer, Telegraph and Indian Express

- the Home Secretary of West Bengal went on record to state that the CPI-Mafioso waged war in Nandigram

- the Station Officer of Nandigram and the SP of Midnapore went on record to state that they were instructed not to interfere

- the Governor, custodian of the constitution in West Bengal, goes on record to state that Nandigram was a war zone

- the Chief Minister of West Bengal Buddhadeb goes on
