Yes - Buddhadeb Bhattacharya should resign out of DISGUST. He should simply give up. The people of Bengal do not deserve to better their lot. Let them wallow in the misery that they are accustomed to while states like Karnataka and Tamil Nadu forge ahead, and enterprising Bengalis continue their mass exodus from the state. These pseudo intellectuals should take a crash course in basic economics before opening their big mouths. They are no better than Mamata and her goons who are out to get their 15 minutes of fame. As someone pointed out in an earlier forum....would they have raised such a stink if 14 policemen had died instead? Finally, to all the anguished NRIs most of whom have done zilch for Bengal, I'd like to ask them what would have happened if an unruly mob of 5000 armed with crude bombs and pipeguns charged the famed NYPD (New York Police Dept)or the LAPD. I suppose the "men in blue" would just turn the other cheek. HYPOCRITES.

I agree with you 200%. Everybody starts crying and making issues when some common men get killed by police, but no body ever tries to find out under what circumstances do the police open fire. Being a Bengali, I want to ask a very basic question to all the intellectuals of Bengal - Does being a policeman take away someone's fundamental rights to defend himself, when the opposition is about to kill him? What would these intellectuals do if a gang of mobs attack them? I belive at that point they surely wouldn't have thought of resigning from positions or returning awards, but most pragmatically would have thought of saving ownself by counter attack or even by killing (read murdering) the attacker.

Why are you trying to hide the fact that there was firing by professional killers other than police. Would you like to wait for CBI investigation before defending police and govt.?

You want to say the police men were attacked?Well,then why not even a single police men have bullet injuries,none have splinter injuries,None have chopper injuries?How can you justify the term "Police being attacked"?
