CREATION OF "RED CORRIDOR" BY MAOISTS

Some ‘so-called’ intellectuals as well as ‘pseudo’ human rights activists representing the Maoists have been urging the Governments both at the centre and the states to lay down arms and shun ‘so-called’ state terror as a pre-condition for a dialogue with the Maoists. They are of course intentionally playing into the hands of the antinational terrorist outfit with some ulterior motive despite knowing fully their ultimate aim, objective and modus operandi.

These perverts never condemn one after another brutality perpetrated by the Maoists in different states for the last few years. Abduction, extortion of money at gun point, butchering, open trial & sentencing to death in public and other gruesome activities on the part of the Maoists seem to them a birthright of the perpetrators. On the other hand, whenever the Government arrests any of them or takes any action in the defence of the common people from he Maoist marauders they plunge into the arena making a hue and cry in the name of ‘so-called’ human rights and natural justice for them under the constitution, which the Maoists discard.

The Maoists believe in the “annihilation of class enemies” and in “extreme violence” as a means to armed seizure of state power through guerrilla warfare. With this perspective, participation in elections and engagement with the prevailing ‘democracy’ are rejected. Their actions and ideas are incompatible to a democratic set up.

As part of its strategy, the cadres of both the CPI and the CPI (M) are declared as class enemies; whereas Mamata Banerjee, her party TMC and SUCI are considered class friends.

It supports all the ‘so-called’ nationalities’ struggles going in different parts of the country including ‘Gorkhaland’ and ‘Kamtapuri’ agitations for separate homelands, armed struggle in ‘Kashmir’ by Pakistani supported militants for independence and all secessionist movements of northeast.

Its armed force have 7000 armed cadres, 6000 fire arms including a large number of rifles of AK variety, light machine guns, self-loading rifles, carbines, 303s, grenades, revolvers, pistols and landmine technologies. It has also a technical squad which manufactures 12 bore guns and its ammunitions, repairs all kinds of weapons and assembles grenades.

This Maoist terrorist outfit is actually a perversion of Marxism-Leninism. It is an organization of assassins, hired killers, extortionists, blackmailers and mercenaries. It reportedly owns a fund amounting to more than 1,500 crores. The operation of the Maoists not only remain concentrated to kidnapping and looting of passengers traveling in trains and buses but also felling and selling of costly trees in collusion with wood smugglers in Jharkhand, Lalgarh, Jangalmahal and other areas. They also blow up bridges and other structures made of low quality materials to destroy proofs and evidences in order to help the contractors in exchange of money. In the name of fighting SEZ they are actually creating their own SEZ (Special Exploitation Zone) wherein these activities can be carried out uninterruptedly in the name of ‘so-called’ revolution and ‘Maoism’.

It must be underlined that contrary to the claims made by a section of pro-Maoist intellectuals that they are revolutionaries; these self-styled Maoists have nothing in common with the work and practice of the great revolutionary Mao-Ze Dong. During the lifetime and after the demise of Comrade Mao, the Chinese Communist Party (CPC) never used the term ‘Maoism,’ to denote a new theory. Rather, in the literature of the CPC and in the documents of their Party Congress's, the CPC has said that it follows Marxism-Leninism and Mao-ze Dong Thought.

It is evident through the interpretation of the CPC how Mao applied Marxism-Leninism to the specific conditions obtaining in China basing on its special characteristics. This is known as Mao-ze Dong thought. Those who are using the term ‘Maoism,’ are completely disregarding and dishonoring the vast revolutionary activities of Mao. These self-styled Maoists have degenerated into armed groups and have no qualms in killing poor people who dare oppose their extortionist terror.

This terrorist outfit is active in 156 districts of 17 states that include Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Bihar, Orissa, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, West Bengal, Karnataka, Tamilnadu, Uttaranchal and Kerala. It is responsible for 90% of the violence in the country. 721 people were killed in 1,591 Maoist attacks in 2008 and till August this year, 1,405 attacks claimed 580 lives spread over 11 states.

Maoist influence runs through a stretch of territory referred to as the "Red Corridor". This extends from the in Andhra Pradesh through and up to Bihar. Their objective of 'liberating' their proposed “Compact Revolutionary Zone” (CRZ) in other words “Red Corridor” extends from Nepal through Bihar Jharkhand in the North to Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Dandakaranya region (forest areas of Central India) and Telangana region of Andhra Pradesh in the South. Areas in western Orissa and eastern Uttar Pradesh are also under Maoist influence. And they have some presence in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka as well. In most areas of the “Red Corridor” they operate as a hit-and-run force.

The intention is to have a continuous stretch of territory under their influence and control, with the ultimate goal of eventually "liberating" the entire zone. Large parts of this territory have already been brought under the extremist influence with only some link-ups now necessary in the remaining pockets to make the CRZ a reality. Once achieved, the CRZ will virtually drive a wedge through the vital areas of the country, and would help crystallize linkages with other Maoist groups operating in South Asia.

Districts that fall in the “Red Corridor” are rich in minerals like iron ore and bauxite. But the people living there, who are largely Adivasi or tribal are desperately poor. Exploited by forest officials, contractors, mining companies and middlemen and neglected by the state, villagers in the Red Corridor are among the worst off in the country. And it is to liberate them from their oppressors and the Indian state that the Maoists claim to be waging their armed struggle.

It is true the Maoists have improved life for the Adivasis by forcing local officials to dig wells or pay better wages to the villagers. But over time, the liberators have turned oppressors themselves. Villagers who don't obey the Maoists have been killed and Maoist violence stands in the way of development projects. The Maoists have worsened the daily lives of some of India's most exploited people.

As a matter of fact, the Maoists want to create a new independent domain within the country where the Indian Constitution shall not be applicable. This one and only one aim and objective will be achieved with the help of other anti-national outfits, ‘so-called’ intellectuals, ‘pseudo’ human rights activists, a section of media glorifying them and forces across the border.

MAHASWETA DEVI ON PAY ROLL OF COMMUNIST BUTCHERS

Mahasweta Devi is proud for receiving “Magsaysay Award” which was introduced in the name of President Ramon del Fierro Magsaysay who was responsible for the butchering of thousands of Communists and innocent people in Phillippines. If she were a genuine Leftist or if she had possessed minimum conscience or morality or ethics or democratic point of view, she would not have cerrtainly accepted the award introduced in the name of a butcher.

Below is a poem addressed to the ‘pseudo’ apolitical intellectual Mahasweta Devi and her team of hypocrites and perverts who have sold out their heart, soul and conscience to serve big business & media houses and imperialism for passing life in air-conditioned rooms and travelling in flights, air-condtioned trains & cars.

“APOLITICAL INTELLECTUALS”

Guatemalan guerrilla fighter and poet Otto René Castillo
(translated by Margaret Randall)

One day the apolitical

intellectuals

of my country

will be interrogated

by the simplest

of our people.

They will be asked

what they did

when their nation died out

slowly,

like a sweet fire

small and alone.

No one will ask them

about their dress,

their long siestas

after lunch,

no one will want to know

about their sterile combats

with "the idea

of the nothing"

no one will care about

their higher financial learning.

They won't be questioned

on Greek mythology,

or regarding their self-disgust

when someone within them

begins to die

the coward's death.

They'll be asked nothing

about their absurd

justifications,

in the shadow

of the total lie.
On that daythe simple men will come.

Those who had no place

in the books and poems

of the apolitical intellectuals,

but daily delivered

their bread and milk,

their tortillas and eggs,

those who drove their cars,

who cared for their dogs and gardens

and worked for them,

and they'll ask:

"What did you do when the poor

suffered, when tenderness

and life

burned out of them?"

Apolitical intellectuals

of my sweet country,

you will not be able to answer.

A vulture of silence

will eat your gut.

Your own misery

will pick at your soul.

And you will be mute in your shame.

WHY PERVERTED INTELLECTUALS ARE SILENT ON MURDER OF TWO POLICE OFFICERS AT SANKRAIL POLICE STATION BY MAOISTS?

Mahasweta Devi and modern Rasputin Subhaprasanna and their team of ‘pseudo’ intellectuals remained silent when:

· Maoists in Lalgarh and Jangalmahal areas butchered 35 police personnel.

· The ambulance carrying Dr. Dhaniram Mandi, Nurse Bharati Majhi and Driver Pranay Mishir was blown up by Maoists killing all of them.

· Three Election Commission (EC) personnel, Prasad Banerjee, Sougata Karmakar and Sanjay Das (driver), were killed when Maoists triggered a landmine blast targeting their convoy after polling in Jamboni on 30th April, 2009.

· The Maoist-TMC-Congress-SUCI Alliance did not allow the relatives to dispose of the dead bodies of Salku Soren and 3 other poor tribals butchered by Maoists for 5 days.

· The Maoists and TMC workers danced and sang around the bodies of Salku Soren and 3 others for 5 days in the same manner as is practiced by cannibals.

· 2 policemen Sabbir Molla and Kanchan Gorai were abducted by Maoists on 30-07-2009. Still their whereabouts are not known.

· Kartick Mahato, a teacher, was butchered by Maoists within the classroom of a primary school in front of his students.

· The Maoists killed two police officers Dibakar Bhattacharjee and Swapan Roy within Sankrail Police Station in West Midnapur district abducted the Officer-in-Charge Atindra Narayan Dutta, looted 6 rifles, 1 revolver, 4 pistols and Rs. 9,27,000/- from the adjacent State Bank of India on 20-10-2009.

These hypocrites and perverts are not seen organizing processions, demonstrations, meetings, seminars and so on against the killing of innocent people by their darling Maoists, who are nothing but modern form of Fascists with red flag. On the other hand, they are shamelessly advocating for the “human rights” of the butchers.

It is useless to expect anything positive from these perverts because their “Friend, Philosopher and Guide” Mahasweta Devi did not hesitate to accept the “Magsaysay Award”, which was introduced in the name of President Ramon del Fierro Magsaysay who was responsible for the butchering of thousands of Communists and innocent people in Phillippines. If she were a genuine Leftist or if she had possessed mimimum conscience or morality or ethics or democratic point of view, she would not have cerrtainly accepted the award introduced in the name of a butcher.

WHAT TOPMOST MAOIST LEADER KISHANJI SAYS ABOUT MAMATA BANERJEE

18TH JUNE 2009

Maoist leader Kishanji: “People will block the roads, the armed forces that come will be taught a lesson, the central govt., the Buddhadeb govt. will be taught a lesson…We are asking Mamata too, she was with us in Nandigram…now we want to know what stand she will take. She is now in the cabinet, the sole member from her party… The tribals here are sitting in protest against the Paramilitary forces, ready to fight them. Which side will Mamata support is what we want to know.” (NDTV)

20TH JUNE 2009

Kishanji: “She is playing a political game. Even though she is a member of the Central Cabinet, she has not said a single word against sending Central forces to Lalgarh. Now, to gain sympathy in West Bengal, she is saying that the police and the CPI (M) unleashed a reign of terror in Jangalmahal. This is clearly a case of double standards on her part. The mask has fallen from her face…After the Lalgarh movement started, Mamata Banerjee visited Lalgarh. The locals allowed her to visit this place. But now she will not be able to come to Lalgarh or any part of Jangalmahal. We have also decided that we will prevent her from entering Nandigram and Singur, where we were part of the movement.” (Asian Age)

22ND JUNE 2009

Kishanji: “Mamata’s real interest is to grab power in West Bengal. Had she been sincere, she would have stepped down from the Union Cabinet because the Centre has joined hands with the state government to unleash a reign of terror in Lalgarh” (India Today)

3RD OCTOBER, 2009

“Mamata Banerjee is the fittest person to become the next Chief Minister of Bengal… We want to see her reaching the position…. We shall work in enabling her to gain this goal… She should snap immediately her ties with the Congress. We support all the decisions and activities of TMC…. Mamata Banerjee and her party alone is strong enough to gain majority in the next assembly elections to be held in 2011…She should ………” (Ananda Bazaar Patrika, Mamata Banerjee’s own mouthpiece)

MAHASWETA DEVI ON PAY ROLL OF BIG MEDIA HOUSE

The bankruptcy and lack of pragmatism of ‘pseudo’ intellectual Mahaseta Devi and her team of neo-Nazist intellectuals stand exposed. So long, they tried to pretend that they are apolitical. They are not affiliated to any one political party. They are committed to the democratic environment and freedom of speech. Anyone without a political banner can join their movement provided her/his concern about the alleged ongoing left-terror in the state is genuine. But during last Parliamentary Elections, 2009 they not only nakedly sang, danced and performed feats and tricks of jugglary i.e. “Madari Ka Khel” to the tune of Mamata Banerjee but also worked wholeheartedly in favour of her rainbow alliance.

But the question arises who led and funded these hypocrites.

There is no deying the fact that the ‘Swajan’ activists are being mentored by the print media “Ananada Bazaar Patrika” and the electronic media “Star Anand” known for their notorious anti-Communist stand. This is the same newspaper which, during Indo-China conflict in 1962, played an important role in spreading jingoism in the name of freedom of speech. It published a regular column named ‘Freedom of the Artist’ where almost all the prestigious authors and artists wrote about their disillusionment with the Communist system. Satyajit Ray did not take part in that procession of slanders, and an angry ABP wrote the editorial ‘Why is Ray silent in such a crisis of the country?’
This is the same newspaper that called for banning the leftist playwright Utpal Datta’s drama ‘Kallol’ which was based on the Royal Indian Navy Mutiny. The Congress goons attacked a show and stopped it. In response, ABP called for a public boycott of all those artists who acted in the play.

So, there is small doubt about the meaning of this seeming apolitics when it is known that ABP has been backing the efforts of these intellectuals for the last two years. Firstly it was named ‘Sushil Samaj’, then ‘Nagarik Samaj’ (literally more close to civil society), then ‘Biddwajan” (intellectuals), and lastly, ‘Swajan’. There seems to be a hard attempt to sell the newly invented product in the market. It is proved beyond doubt that the ‘pseudo’ intelligentsia have been playing a puppet in the hands of big media and international finance capital.

Interestingly, the voice of these intellectuals can’t be differentiated from that of the proponents of the neo-liberal economy who say that politics is dirty and development should be freed from political colour. Our ‘so-called’ intellectuals also say that politics is dirty and struggle against development should be freed from political colour.
Is this so that big media houses encash this apolitics to create a market of anti-communism, a market where freedom of speech and right to vote will walk hand in hand with the idea of anti-Stalinism (anti CPI (M) in our case). There definitely lies a nexus between the big media houses and international finance capital. Their pro-investment, neo liberal strategies have a mask of apolitics to attract the rising middle class of India. But in reality, it only strengthens the hand of US imperialism and neo-Nazism. For example, the same ABP who mentored the ‘Swajan’ activists in their so called anti neo- liberal struggle, is wholeheartedly supported the Indo-US nuclear deal, US War on Iraq & Afghanistan, and launched attack on the leftists, especially the CPI (M), for blocking the agreement.

The CPI (M), on the other hand, has a communist ideology, a concrete agenda and specific political directives. Among the cult of the erosion of politics, the CPI (M) is the rarest of the rare examples. Therefore its presence is dangerous.
Hence, it is not surprising that these intellectuals don’t utter a single word against the rise of finance capital, neo-liberal aggression and its Indian collaborators, the BJP and the Congress, or their sister concern in West Bengal, the TMC). They never raised their voice against the Hyde act or US naval activities, or against the New Economic Policy of the Centre. The only target is the CPI (M) as the epitome of suppression of voice, corruption, rape of democracy and injustice to the poor.

MAHASWETA DEVI AND HER TEAM OF FRAUDS

‘Pseudo’ Intellectual Mahasweta Devi and her team of hypocrites declare that they are apolitical. They are not affiliated to any one political party. They are committed to the democratic environment and freedom of speech. Anyone without a political banner can join their movement provided her/his concern about the alleged ongoing left-terror in the state is genuine.

Interesting parallels from an article written under the caption ‘The CIA and the Cultural Cold War Revisited’ by James Petras published in November 1999 in the Monthly Review can be drawn.

The article details how the CIA penetrated and influenced a vast array of cultural organizations during the cold war. Some parts of the article detailing the attitudes of intellectuals funded or promoted by such organizations are furnished below.

“What was particularly bizarre about this collection of CIA-funded intellectuals was …… their pretense that they were disinterested seekers of truth, iconoclastic humanists, freespirited intellectuals, or artists for art’s sake, who counterposed themselves to the corrupted "committed" house "hacks" of the Stalinist apparatus.” (p 2)

( Observe the parrotted allegation of ‘pseudo’ intellectuals taught by “Ananda Bazaar Patrika” that anti-CPI (M) playwrights can’t stage their plays)

“The CIA was especially keen on publishing disillusioned ex-communists like Silone, Koestler, and Gide…… None of these prestigious intellectuals dared to raise any doubts or questions regarding U.S. support of the mass killing in colonial Indochina and Algeria, the witch hunt of U.S. intellectuals or the paramilitary (Ku Klux Klan) lynchings in the southern United States. Such banal concerns would only "play into the hands of the Communists," “(p 3)
(Thespian Bibhash Chakrabarty or Kaushik Sen were once seen sticking to Shri Budhadeb Bhattacharjee like leeches for favours. Afer achieving all what they wanted, they have changed side now. They have certainly added some glamour to the ‘Swajan’ rallies. They did not raise a single voice against Trinamool Congress (TMC)-led Bhumi Uchchhed Pratirodh Committee (BUPC) atrocities in Nandigram or one after another Maoist killing of CPI (M) activists in West Medinipur, Purulia and Bankura or thousands of poor people being driven out of their homes into refugee camps for the crime of being CPI (M) supporters. More interestingly, many Naxalite leaders like Purnendu Basu or Dola Sen who are close to Swajan said that such activities should not be condemned too much because that will strengthen the hand of CPI (M).)

“Many prestigious writers, poets, artists, and musicians proclaimed their independence from politics and declared their belief in art for art’s sake. The dogma of the free artist or intellectual, as someone disconnected from political engagement, gained ascendancy and is pervasive to this day.”(p 4)

(Almost all of our ‘Swajan’ intellectuals are saying that they are apolitical because all the political parties are dirty. They are only humanists, and against all form of violence. Democratic movements, according to them, would emerge spontaneously from the masses and without any political hue)

“CIA realized that, in order to undermine the anti-NATO trade unionists and intellectuals, it needed to find (or invent) a Democratic Left to engage in ideological warfare…... The Democratic Left was essentially used to combat the radical left and to provide an ideological gloss on U.S. hegemony in Europe…. Their job was not to question or demand, but to serve the empire in the name of "Western democratic values." (p 5)

(Our ultra-left politicians, along with the Maoists, are undoubtedly doing a good job in denouncing the CPI (M), the former in political and intellectual fields, the latter through the line of annihilation. And all of this is being done for the sake of democracy in this state. Even the Maoists in their pamphlets are exhorting that there is no democratic environment in West Bengal)

This Democratic Left’s anti-CPI (M) rhetorical ejaculations, humanist speeches and proclamations of faith in democratic values and freedom, were a useful ideological cover for the heinous crimes of the Maoist-TMC murderers and their lies and slanders about thousands of cases of rape and infanticide in Nandigram (whereas not a single case was found) and non-development in Lalgarh. If anti-Stalinism was the opium of the Democratic Left during the Cold War, human rights interventionism has the same narcotizing effect today, and deludes contemporary Democratic Leftists.

PERVERTED INTELLECTUALS ON PICNIC TO LALGARH

Taking full advantage of their esteemed profession and high position in the society, the ‘so-called’ intellectuals represented by few film actors, actresses, poets, singers, painters, stage and screen personalities adorned with lipstick, powder, facial make-ups, red ribbon tied around the forehead and other ornamental materials often visit Lalgarh in order to not only extend moral, technical and logistic support to the murderer Chatradhar Mahato and other Maoists working in the garb of “Police Santrash Birodhi Janasadharner Committee” (PSBJC) but also supply them arms, ammunition and money as well as help them in creating total lawlessness.

The ‘pseudo’ intellectuals habituated to live in air-conditioned palatial buildings and travel in air-conditioned flights and cars have started talking much about ‘poverty’ and “under development” amongst tribals. Did these clowns born with silver spoons ever experience what poverty is? These hypocrites have never been found getting involved in any sort of social work either in their localities or anywhere else. They have also never visited Lalgarh with food, clothings, books, pens, pencils, medicines and other basic needs for the poor tribals and their children. Throughout their life they remained engaged in amassing wealth and property. Now these ‘so-called’ intellectuals sold out by way of being on the pay roll of big business houses and imperialists are entrusted with the job of destabilizing the Left Front Government in West Bengal at any cost and anyhow.

The ‘so-called’ poverty of tribals in Lalgarh is nothing but an unacceptable excuse on the part of these ‘pseudo’ intellectuals who think themselves to be above the law of the land.

The Maoists observed “TWO DAYS VIOLENT AND DESTRUCTIVE BANDH” in the entire country demanding openly the release of their three top leaders Kobad Gandhi, Chatradhar Mahato and Chandrabhusan Yadav. But these perverted intellectuals playing into the hands of anti-national forces are still hell bent on proving that Chatradhar Mahato is a tribal leader but not a Maoist.

The Maoist movement in Lalgarh started with an attempt to murder the Chief Minister on 3rd November, 2008. In their subsequent demands, the Maoists never put forward any economic demand. All their demands were political relating to surrender by the Government, physically kneeling down of the Government Officials and winding up all police stations from Jangalmahal areas consisting of three districts including Lalgarh so as to create a free zone of Maoists. In order to achieve their goal they have started butchering CPI (M) leaders and cadres. The Maoists have already paralyzed the normal life in the entire Jangalmahal area.

The frauds have not uttered even a single word against the attempt of murder on the Chief Minister or other brutalities and atrocities perpetrated by the Maoists.

It is useless to expect anything positive from these self-centered hypocrites who have been suffering from intellectual bankruptcy and lack of pragmatism. Their “Friend, Philosopher and Guide” Mahasweta Devi is also not an exception to this. She talks so much about principle and democracy. But she did not hesitate to accept the “Magsaysay Award”, which was introduced in the name of President Ramon del Fierro Magsaysay who was responsible for the butchering of thousands of Communists and innocent people in Phillippines. If she were a genuine Leftist or if she had possessed mimimum conscience or morality or ethics or democratic point of view, she would not have cerrtainly accepted the award introduced in the name of a butcher.

WHY NOT UAP ACT, 2009 AGAINST MAMATA BANERJEE?

In recent times, the brutalities and atrocities of the Maoists in different states have surpassed all limitations of tolerance. Thousands of innocent people, government officials and policed personnel have not only been butchered by them but they have also blown up schools, railway stations, railway tracks, mobile towers, police stations, government offices, post offices and so on.

Both Dr. Manmohan Singh and P. Chidambaram have been repeatedly saying unequivocally that the Maoists are the single largest threat to the internal security of the nation. But Mamata Banerjee has been keeping close touch with the Maoists to get some petty and narrow political mileage. Her party along with Maoists is engaged in one after another murder and destructive activities in West Bengal. Being an important Minister on the cabinet of Dr. Manmohan Singh, she is not only openly criticizing the joint operation carried out by the Central Government and the State Government against the Maoists in Lalgarh but also demanding immediate stoppage of the same.

This action on her part has been casting serious aspersion on the goodwill and reputation of Dr. Manmohan Singh and his ministry. Moreover, the common people are utterly confused and worried over moving of Dr. Singh and Mamata Banerjee in two irreconcilably different ways.

It is not understood why does he still tolerate her? Even if she and her 18 members withdraw from his ministry, it will not be affected in any manner, whatsoever, because he enjoys the support of more than 300 members in the Parliament.

He should, therefore, sack her immediately from his cabinet in national interest rising above party politics and use “Unlawful Activities Prevention Act, 2009” against her immediately for patronizing antinational terrorist outfits.

She is certainly not above the law of the land.

SO-CALLED HUMAN RIGHTS ORGANISATIONS SUPPORT MAOISTS AND ANTINATIONAL FORCES

The Maoist criminals now trusted associates of the Union Railway Minister had given a call for Bharat Bandh on 3rd October, 2009 in support of their demand for the release of Kobad Gandhi, Chatradhar Mahato and Chandrabhusan Yadav, all Maoist butchers. They also resorted to all kinds of subversive activities including killing of innocent people throughout the country for the same.

After failing to achieve their demand they beheaded barbarically one abducted Police Officer Francis Induver in Jharkhand on 06-10-2009.

The whole world witnessed once again with horror and dismay the brutalities of the Maoists which have even surpassed those of the Talibans of Afghanistan.

More horrible is that the self-styled “Human Rights’ Organizations” and the pseudo intellectuals of West Bengal have not used even a single word to denounce the ghastly incidents of butchering unarmed helpless women and children by Maoists in different parts of the country. Walking one step forward, Sujat Bhadra, the so-called human rights’ activist in Kolkata in a press meet said that the Lalgarh movement has nothing to do with the Maoists. Besides, it is a peoples’ movement and Chatradhar Mahato is not a Maoist leader.

This hypocrite has forgotten the fact that the Maoist leaders Kishenji and Bikash themselves have again and again declared that the Lalgarh movement is led by them and the organization of Chatradhar Mahato is their frontal mass reorganization. The video footage of their interviews and press meet to this effect has repeatedly been aired by various electronic media on different dates on the national and state level.

The “Unlawful Activities Prevention Act” says clearly that any type of advocacy, assistance or propaganda in favour of a banned organization is punishable. It is not understood why this man Sujat Bhadra is still allowed to go scot free even after his taking recourse to subversive anti-national statements and anti-national activities. He should, therefore, be put behind bars immediately for interrogation and further necessary action terms of the provisions of UAPA.

We demand again that both the Central Government and the state governments should cause immediately a thorough investigation into the source of funds and modus operandi of these so called human rights organizations in national interest.
