KHUDIRAM BOSE TRAMPLED, BURNT AND DISHONOURED BY PERVERTED MAOISTS IN WEST BENGAL

Almost every day the Neo Fascists in the garb of Maoists have been murdering CPI (M) leaders, cadres and workers in West Bengal.

Besides, these blind and diehard anti-Communist and anti-Leftist butchers have not only been destroying and torching the houses of CPI (M) leaders, cadres and supporters but also torching CPI (M) Offices, trampling and setting fire to red flags, pictures of Karl Marx, Fredrick Engels, Lenin, Stalin, Mao Ze Dong, Ho-Chi-Minh, Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, Bhagat Singh, Khudiram Bose, Master Da Surya Sen and other leaders of Communist and Leftist movement of the world and the country as was done by the Fascists and the Gestapoes in Italy and Germany.

The anti-Communist and anti-Leftist “pseudo” intellectuals and “so-called” human right activists in India fully encourage the Maoists with all available resources in all possible manner to carry on their activities in order to serve the imperialists, finance capital and big business houses for gaining wide-spread publicity and promoting their own career and future.

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.

MAOISTS HELP MAMATA BANERJEE - NOAM CHOMSKY INFORMED

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,

Yours faithfully,

INDIAN RAILWAY MISUSED FOR DUPING PEOPLE

Mamata Banerjee has assured to build railway coach factories simultaneously at the following sites in West Bengal.

At the abandoned land of Nano Factory at Singur
At Kanchrapara
At Dankuni

She has also promised for placement of orders for maximum number of railway wagons and coaches with Jessop & Co., Burn Standard Co. Ltd., Chittaranjan Locomotive Works etc.

It seems that the number of factories in the Indian Railways seems to surpass the number of required railway coaches in no time.

It is not understood how long the people of this country will go on tolerating liars and deceivers.

CHATRADHAR MAHATO, DREADED MAOIST LEADER, GETS SUPPORT FROM MAOIST INTELLECTUALS

INDIAN RAILWAY MINISTER ALLOWS PRIVATE PARTIES TO PLUNDER RAILWAY LANDS

Not for creating its own infrastructure. The Railway Ministry under the instruction of Mamata Banerjee has decided to hand over large quantum of vacant railway lands including prime agricultural lands to big business houses in Kolkata, Siliguri and other big cities of the country. The Railways have informed that it has already earmarked 3,744 acres of land for the purpose in prime areas of Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Amritsar, Ajamgarh, Guwhati, Kanpur, Kolkata and other cities. Renowned promoters and builders would be invited to construct shopping malls, hotels and business centres in these lands solely owned by the railways by virtue of Land Acquisition Act, 1894.

It is pertinent to point out that the Indian Railways have acquired agricultural lands in different parts of the country with the help of the respective state governments for constructing infrastructure of the railways. As for example, in Howrah it had acquired 700 acres of land in 1984-85 with the help of the state government for constructing a “Goods Terminal”.

Now, the railways plan to lease out 3,744 acres of acquired land to private parties. It expects to earn Rs. 2,700 crores on this account. The said 3,744 acres of land has already been handed over to Railway Land Development Authority.

In reply to question during last railway budget, Mamata Banerjee had stated on the floor of the parliament that her ministry had planned to use the vacant railway lands for commercial purposes with private entrepreneurs on PPP Model (Public-Private Partnership Model). She informed that thousands of acres of railway land have already been earmarked for the same.

It would not be out of place to mention that in Singur she did not allow the Nano Car Factory to come up on the plea of construction of factory, Shopping Malls, Beauty Parlours etc. over agricultural lands. But after becoming Railway Minister she is hell bent on handing over prime agricultural lands owned by the railways to private parties for the same purpose.

It is relevant to point out that the entire land of 3,744 acres including agricultural land was acquired for the development of railway infrastructure in terms of Land Acquisition Act, 1894. This land cannot be used for any purpose other than the purpose for which it was originally acquired as per law.

But in gross violation of the provisions of the relevant act, Mamata Banerjee has been promoting big business houses with some ulterior motive and hidden agenda.

The sycophant spineless intellectuals, who were so vocal during Singur and Nandigram episodes in the name of safeguarding agricultural land, are shamelessly silent on misuse of acquired agricultural lands of the railways for promoting private business. The reason is simple. Most of them remain purchased in this or that way to serve the interests of big business houses and finance capital. The duplicity of these perverted intellectuals, therefore, stand exposed to the people from all walks of life.

RAILWAY MINISTER IN SUPPORT OF MAOIST TERRORIST LEADER CHATRADHAR MAHATO IN LALGARH ON 04-02-2009

INDIAN RAILWAY FUND PLUNDERED BY MAOISTS

There is no denying the fact that a number of Maoist intellectuals and other opportunists in the guise of impartiality and neutrality had played a pivotal role in sabotaging industrialization at Singur, Nandigram and developmental works in West Bengal during the last three years in connivance with industrial competitors, big business houses and imperialists. They had also worked day in and day out campaigning in favour of Mamata Banerjee and her party candidates during the last Parliamentary Elections, 2009. Apart from this, they have also been supporting Maoists and instrumental in inciting criminals and antisocials to create serious problems of law and order in the state to destabilize the Left Front Government in West Bengal.

After becoming Union Railway Minister, Mamata Banerjee has constituted three new Committees to reward these Maoist intellectuals and the opportunists. Under her instruction, the Railway Board under the Ministry of Railways, Government of India has issued a Government Order bearing No. ERB-1/2009/23/33 on 9th October 2009 constituting the said committees with detailed facilities.

1 Heritage and Cultural Committee under the chairpersonship of Smt. Shaoli Mitra

2 Passengers’ Amenities Committee under the chairpersonship of Shri Subhaprasanna Bhattacharjee

3 Passengers’ Services Committee under the chairpersonship of Shri Derek-o-Brayen

The entire expenses of these committees will be borne by the Indian Railways. Each full time member of the Committee will be paid Rs. 50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand) as monthly salary and each part-timer will be paid Rs. 25,000/- per month. They will be also provided with the following facilities and amenities free of cost as per the said Government Order.

· Meeting allowance @ Rs. 520/-per day

· Free 1st Class AC Railway Pass with one companion

· Travel in Executive Class by flight

· Travel on road by car to be provided by the Indian Railways

· Lodging and boarding in Class I hotel anywhere

· Free telephone with ISD/STD facilities both at residence and office

· Free Medical treatment and facilities at the cost of the Indian Railways

· TA & DA at par with railway officers

Each and every Member of the Committees can appoint his/her own Private Secretary and of peons. All of them will also be provided separate office and expenses for the same.

The Chairperson of each committee can enlarge his /her Committee by co-opting any person thought to be necessary.

The total expenditure in maintaining these three Committees comes around 50 Lakhs (Rupees Fifty Lakhs) per month.

These committees are unprecedented in the history of the Indian Railways. This is the first time that such expensive committees have been constituted at the cost of the public exchequer to accommodate sycophants and ‘so-called’ champions of tribals and downtrodden. These sycophants often used to raise the questions of nepotism, corruption and exploitation. But now they are most shamelessly drawing huge money from railway exchequer without performing any job.

The pseudo intellectuals Bibhas Chakraborty, theatre personality, Arpita Ghosh, theatre personality, Joy Goswami, poet, Bratya Basu, theatre personality, Pallab Kirtania, Singer, Rituparna Ghosh, film director, Ustad Rashid Khan, artist, GS Raitela, Director General, National Council of Science Museum, Ratan Thiyam, theatre personality and many others have been made their members. Rajesh Agarwal, Executive Director of Railway Board, will act as the Coordinating Officer.

The entire exercise is nothing but blatant misuse of power and public exchequer for the promotion of the interests of the sycophants and the party.

PERVERTED INTELLECTUALS SILENT ON FORCIBLE ACQUISITION OF FERTILE AGRICULTURAL LAND BY MAMATA BANERJEE FOR RAILWAY PROJECTS

Mamata Banerjee as the Indian Railway Minister with the financial assistance of Japan has decided to accelerate the western and eastern Dedicated Freight Corridors (DFC) along its busy trunk routes to augment the transport capacity and meet the growing requirements of moving freight.

(1) The western Delhi-Mumbai DFC covering 1,483-km through Delhi, National Capital Region (NCR), Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan, Gujarat and Maharashtra at a cost of Rs.26, 124 crores will stretch from the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust in Navi Mumbai to Dadri in Uttar Pradesh on the national capital's outskirts covering Maharashtra, Gujarat and Rajasthan.

High fertile farming land falling in villages of Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan, Gujarat and Maharashtra are covered under western corridor project.

Another project, the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor will also be developed simultaneously through Public-Private Partnership (PPP) along with the freight corridor.

The Railway Ministry expects to complete both the freight corridor and the industrial corridor by 2013.

(2) The eastern DFC will extend 1,806 km from Ludhiana in Punjab to Dankuni near Kolkata. It will be extended in future to serve the new deep-sea port in the Kolkata area and to largely serve coal and steel traffic. Here also fertile 3-crop/4-crop land will be acquired for the purpose.

The railways need to acquire 12,500 hectares over 51 districts in seven states for the proposed eastern and western freight corridor projects. The railways are demanding 42 per cent more 3-crop/4-crop fertile farming land for the project than what was previously envisaged. This is in sharp contrast to the earlier estimate of 8,833 hectares.

The railways have prepared land acquisition plans for 2,200 km. It has already issued a gazette notification for acquisition of 3-crop/4-crop high fertile farming land in villages of Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat and Maharashtra covering a stretch of 1,077 km.

By the end of January 2009, the railways will be able to acquire nearly 100 km near Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh. The remaining areas will be acquired over six months.

The Railway Ministry on September 29, 2008 had published a notification declaring its intention to acquire 3-crop/4-crop fertile farming lands in Gujarat for execution, maintenance, management and operation of special rail corridor project following which farmers losing their 3-crop/4-crop fertile farming lands in these villages had raised about 1301 objections.

A year later on September 15, 2009, the government published a Notification stating that it has acquired 700 hectares of 3-crop/4-crop fertile farming land in 31 villages in three talukas and Vadodara city of Gujarat for the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor Project.

Farmers and sharecroppers in Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat have started agitation against the acquisition of highly fertile agriculture land for the proposed Freight Corridor.

They have suggested redesigning of the routes for sparing valuable 3-crop/4-crop fertile farming lands from acquisition and said the compensation package offered to these farmers in lieu of their 3-crop/4-crop fertile farming land was very less and not acceptable to them. The Railways have taken away their fertile farming land at throw away prices and rendered them jobless.

The farmers of Chandauli district in Uttar Pradesh under the banner of Krishi Bhoomi Bachao Sangharsh Samiti and Satya Foundation (SF) have started agitation against the acquisition of their fertile farming land for the proposed freight corridor of Indian Railways.

It was seen that during Singur and Nandigram episodes, all the opposition political parties including TMC, Congress, BJP, SUCI, Maoists and Naxalites had not only supported the violent agitation of Mamata Banerjee in the name of saving fertile agricultural land but also actively participated in the same. Besides, Mahasweta Devi and other ‘pseudo’ intellectuals and ‘so-called’ human rights activists had day and night campaigned vociferously against the Left Front Government and helped the agitators and goons in all possible ways to sabotage the industrial resurgence. Shri Lal Krishna Advani, Shri Amar Singh and other leaders of anti-Leftist national political parties had regularly been to Nandigram and Singur to add fuel to fire by expressing their solidarity with Mamata Banerjee and the agitators.

As a result, dreams of two major projects have been shattered. Opposition to government intervention in land acquisition helped Mamata Banerjee gain enormous political mileage, but it has left industry in West Bengal with Hobson’s choice

It is an irony that the same Mamata Banerjee has been now engaged in acquiring forcibly most fertile lands in seven states for Eastern and Western Dedicated Freight Corridors despite stiff and vehement opposition from the landowners and farmers. But the said political parties, national leaders, ‘pseudo’ intellectuals, Maoists, Naxalites and ‘so-called’ human rights activists are shamelessly silent on the matter. Nobody has yet met the affected farmers to give a patient hearing to them and address their grievances.

There cannot be separate rules for separates states in this country on acquisition of land. But yes, there is. Strange is the politics in this country.

The fact is that all forces ranging from ultra leftists to ultra rightists including those of communal, imperialist, finance capital and a section of media have ganged up with one and only aim to dislodge the Left Front Government anyway and at any cost. They donot abide by any logic, reason or fact. They with their obligation to imperialism went against all norms of civilized political behaviour and supported TMC which is nothing but a nuisance to Indian Politics dominated by one eccentric person devoid any ideology or policy

There is no denying the fact that hundreds of farmers have already committed suicide in Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat and other states. Thousands and thousands acres of fertile land has been acquired under duress in many states for industries and other developmental works depriving the farmers of their landed property. But none of the saviors of tribals, peasants and the underprivileged are seen in the picture to express their solidarity with the deprived. Is it not ambivalence?

The double standard, fraudulency and duplicity maintained by political frauds, perverted intellectuals and foreign funded human rights activists are nothing but mockery of democracy, integrity, transparency and honesty. These people stand exposed today. History will judge judiciously these swindlers working on the pay roll of imperialists, foreign finance capital and big business houses in the days to come and throw them into dustbin.

P. CHIDAMBRAM PLAYS FRAUD ON THE NATION

The German People and a section of the intelligentsia raised Hitler to power in 1933. Hitler became a dictator and plunged the whole of Germany into 2nd World War. At the end of the 2nd World War it was found that beside other losses at least one person from each and every family had lost his life as a result of the war.

Indira Gandhi created Bhindranwale and installed him at the Amritsar Golden Temple to counter the Akali Dal in Punjab Politics. Consequently, she had to repent by giving up her own life on 30th October 1984.

United States of America in collusion with Pakistan created Taliban to overthrow the Communist Government led by Nazibullah. Today Pakistan and its people are suffering immensely at the hands of Taliban.

Once, both Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi had supported L.T.T.E. and allowed it to open training centers on the soil of the country. Ultimately, Rajiv Gandhi had to pay high price by way of sacrificing his own life.

The people sitting at the helm affairs in New Delhi once supported the splinter groups of Kashmir to counter Seikh Abdullah, Farooq Abdullah and his party. Today Kashmir suffers for the same.

In Northeast separatists were once supported to create problems for the opposition led governments. The country has still been paying for the same.

The ruling party at the centre and its allies has not learnt any lesson from the past. Mamata Banerjee and her associates have brought Maoists into West Bengal and have been supporting all separatist forces to dislodge the ruling Left Front Government. These irresponsible political leaders have forgotten that politics will not end with the removal of the Left Front Government. The Frankenstein that they have created today for undermining the Leftists in order to gain electoral gains will also haunt them in future and they will have to face the same fate in the coming days as those of the present day victims.

P. CHIDAMBRAM PLAYS DRAMA IN THE NAME OF MAOISTS

Many possessed so far a high impression about Shri P. Chidambaram that he is a man of principle, integrity, honesty and functions above party lines. His fight and caution against Maoist menace in the country is genuine and guided by national interest. But his recent irresponsible, narrow and politically motivated utterances and brazen distortion of facts have shattered all these impressions.

He is the Home Minister of the country. So, he must have enough proof from his own intelligence source that Mamata Banerjee is actively hand in gloves with the Maoists. It is seen that the TMC and SUCI workers are openly working with the Maoists everywhere. The insurgence of Maoists in Nandigram, Singur, Arambagh, Mangalkote, Jangalmahal and other areas could not have been successful without the active help of the Railway Minister. It is an open secret that in Kolkata also Maoists are organizing rallies, processions, seminars and meetings in collusion with TMC and SUCI workers in broad daylight. The hijacking of the Rajdhani Express at Banstala Railway Station was no exception to this. The role played by the Indian Railways is sufficient to prove the nexus between Mamata Banerjee and the Maoists.

There is no denying the fact that the Left Front Government is the biggest obstruction to the implementation of Privatization, Globalization and Liberalization followed by the UPA Government. West Bengal is the only state where land reforms have been implemented successfully. Apart from this, the Coalition Government has been running successfully for the last 32 years. Elections to all local bodies are held democratically and timely. It is standing as an exemplary political formation and pillar of the mainstream leftists. The Congress Party believes in one party rule. So, removal of the Left Front Government is necessary not only for the Central Government but also for the imperialists, foreign finance capital and landlords to pave way for their own vested interests.

The aim and objective of P. Chidambram, Mamata Banerjee and the Maoist leader Kishanji is one and same that is removal of the Left Front Government and installation of Mamata Banerjee as the next Chief Minister of West Bengal anyhow and at any cost. So, all of them have been working in unison covertly and/or overtly to undermine the same.

In spite of knowing fully that only the CPI (M) is the victim of the brutalities committed by the Maoists along with TMC and SUCI, he most irresponsibly commented that the Maoists and the CPI (M) are friends. His words supporting the collaborators of a banned organization are guided by narrow political considerations for obtaining electoral gains at the cost of the nation. It is also aimed at to demoralize or maneuver the joint forces fighting against the Maoists; otherwise why it could not yet bring the Maoist activities in Jangalmahal under control. This sort of anti-national attitude on his part is unbecoming of a Home Minister. Moreover, his so-called fight against Maoists is nothing but eyewash; otherwise he would not have played this sort of duplicity and fraudulence with the nation. It proves beyond doubt that the nation is not safe at the hands of this gentleman who himself is politically biased, prejudiced and unfair.

He must keep in mind that in the same manner Indira Gandhi had created Bhindranwale and installed him at the Amritsar Golden Temple to counter the Akali Dal in Punjab Politics. Consequently, she had to pay price by giving up her own life on 30th October 1984 at the hands of Khalistanis.

As a matter of fact, the Maoist problem in West Bengal is a joint venture of P. Chidambram, Mamata Banerjee and the Maoist leader Kishanji aiming at destabilizing the Left Front Government consisting of the mainstream Leftist parties.

MAOIST RAILWAY MINISTER REMOVES ALL CHAIRMEN OF RAILWAY RECRUITMENT BOARDS TO FILL UP 1, 72,444 GROUP ‘C’ AND ‘D’ VACANT POSTS WITH MAOIST-TMC MAFIA G

The Maoist Railway Minister has all on a sudden removed 20 chairmen of the Railway Recruit Boards out 21 in the country before expiry of their term without assigning any reason thereof and appointed her own sycophants and men in their place. Almost all the removed officials were senior officials of the Indian Railways and appointed during the regime of her predecessor. This pre-planned action on her part is unprecedented in the history of the Indian Railways.

Now, the following pertinent questions have arisen very logically and reasonably.

(1) What were the grounds for their removal?

(2) If they are engaged in corruption or are inefficient, why the same have not yet been made public?

(3) If they were engaged in corruption, why action on that basis has not yet been initiated against them?

(4) What are the qualifications of those appointed newly in their places?

(5) Are all the newly appointed Chairmen honest and efficient?

In this connection, it would be not out of place to mention that 1, 72,444 vacancies in the Group ‘C’ and ‘D’ posts are lying vacant in the railways. The TMC leaders and workers have been distributing forms in different places of West Bengal for appointment in these vacant railway posts.

Maoist Mamata Banerjee thinks the Indian Railways is her own private property. The above-mentioned action of the Maoist Railway Minister is to pave way for the appointment of Maoist-TMC Mafia goons in the 1, 72,444 vacancies illegally throwing to winds all recruitment rules and regulations. So, she needs her own men on the Railway Recruitment Boards in 20 cities of the country.

It is pertinent to mention that she has already appointed Subhaprasanna Bhattacharjee, Shaoli Mitra and other Maoist ‘pseudo’ intellectuals on different committee of the railways at the cost of huge public money. She did not stop here. She has provided them with life-long Free A.C. Railway Passes with one companion for campaigning in her favour in the last Parliamentary Elections, 2009.

The Prime Minister should cause immediately a detailed and thorough enquiry into the reshuffle of the Railway Recruitment Boards and place the fact before all in national interest because Indian Railways is not the private property of any individual or political party.

MAOIST MAMATA BANERJEE! STOP PERFORMING TRICKS AND FEATS OF POLITICAL JUGGLERY

As the Railway Minister in the NDA Government, Mamata Banerjee had laid the foundation stone of bridge on river Ganges at Naihati between Naihati and Bandel in West Bengal on 26th June 2002 and named it Bankim Bridge. The stone still remains exposed and shining. The construction work is going on and 40% to 45% of the same is almost complete.

It is ridiculous to find that Mamata Banerjee has again inaugurated the construction of the same bridge for the 2nd time on 08-11-2009 spending extravagantly huge public money in the midst of her sycophants, perverted intellectuals and Maoist-TMC goons. This time she has renamed it as “Sampriti Bridge”. This is unprecedented in the history of not only the Indian Railway but also that of the country.

Since her taking over the charge of the Railway Ministry, the number of accidents, accidental deaths and damage to railway properties by her ally the Maoists have increased manifold. Instead of giving attention to the safety and security of the passengers and the railway properties, she has shamelessly been performing political circus and gimmick at the cost of the public money for petty political gains. Most of the time she remains in West Bengal engaged in creating a reign of terror and lawlessness wherever she goes, inaugurating old trains in new names and other political stunts and drama.

The Prime Minister should look into this matter and advise her to discharge her constitutional responsibilities instead of performing tricks and feats of political jugglery.

MAOIST RAILWAY MINISTER LANDS INDIAN RAILWAYS IN A MESS

The Adra Division of the Eastern Railways has been under constant attack of the Maoist Mafias for the last two years. This division falls within the Maoist Mafia infested Jangalmahal area. The railway employees of this have been working with their life in their hands. Their life has become more unsafe and risky with the installation of Maoist Mamata Banerjee as the Railway Minister. Both the Maoists and the TMC goons roam together with arms in these areas. Many officials and employees suffering from insecurity are trying to get themselves transferred to other divisions. The Maoist-TMC goons often come to the railway officials in search for names and addresses of the contractors so as to extort from them. Besides, the TMC goons are trying to force the railway officials to employ their own men.

The Railway Protection Force could not take any action against the Maoist-TMC goons. The gang men, gate men and porter men have to work on the railway tracks in isolated places without any security. There are no firearms in the hands of the R.P.F. guarding trains from Chandil to Purulia Railway Station. The few R.P.F. with arms on 315 UP Chakradharpur-Howrah Train passing through Maoist infested areas always remain panicky.

The detention of Rajdhani Express by Maoists at Banstala Railway Station on 27th October, 2009 in collusion with the Maoist Railway Minister for the release of Maoist leader Chatradhar Mahato has increased their panic and apprehension manifold. A few glaring examples of the sabotage caused by the Maoists in collusion with TMC in the said division are furnished as hereunder.

(1) The Maoist-TMC goons blow up the railway station of Biramdih falling in between Adra-Chandil Section on 26-06-2007.

(2) Posters threatening the railway employees of Biramdih Railway Station were pasted on 14th August 2007.

(3) Heavy damage was caused to the Biramdih Railway Station on 13th May 2008 being the previous day of the Bandh called by the Maoists.

(4) A R.P.F man was killed and his arm was snatched at Barabhum Railway Station.

(5) The gang men recovered a landmine planted at the Biramdih Railway Station on 22nd June 2009.

(6) Bob blast by Maoists near Ursha Railway Station.

(7) Blowing up railway tracks between Ursha and Kantadih Railway Station by Maoists on 2nd October 2009.

(8) The detention of Bhubaneswar-New Delhi Rajdhani Express at Banstala Railway Station by Maoist-TMC goons for the release of Maoist terrorist Chatradhar Mahato.

It is high time that the Prime Minister should cause a detailed enquiry by CBI into the activities of the Maoist Railway Minister so as to ensure safety and security of not only the railway passengers but also the entire railways in national interest.

RAILWAY MINISTER IN CONNIVANCE WITH MAOISTS ENGINEERED HIZACKING OF "RAJDHANI EXPRESS" FOR THE RELEASE OF MAOIST LEADER CHATRADHAR MAHATO

MAMATA BANERJEE WITH MAOIST LEADER CHATRADHAR MAHATO IN LALGARH

The well calculated pre-planned mysterious drama of hijacking New Delhi bound Bhubaneswar-Rajdhani Express on 27th October, 2009 by the Maoists in connivance with the Railway Minister endangering more than 200 passengers including women and children for the release of Maoist leader Chattradhar Mahato by way of black-mailing and its subsequent developments have raised many a questions in the minds of the people of the country.

· When the news about the detention of the Bhubaneswar-New Delhi Rajdhani Express by the Maoists reached Mamata Banerjee during her press briefing at the same time of happening, why was she hell bent on proving that it was not the handiwork of the terrorist outfit?

· Why till today she has not once condemned the Maoists by name for the ghastly incident of detention of Rajdhani Express?

· Why is she still bent upon shielding the Maoists?

· Why there was no Railway Protection Force in spite of knowing fully that the train was to pass through Maoist infested forest area of Jangalmahal? Why did the RPF get down at Kharagpur Railway Station allowing the train to proceed without any escort? How did this news of the train proceeding without escort reach the Maoists in advance who captured it so easily without any resistance?

· 2443-UP Bhubaneswar-Rajdhani Express usually leaves on Monday and Friday from Bhubaneswar. But this train left on Tuesday. So, it was a special train. Despite this fact, the train was running without any escort from Kharagpur.

· When the train neared the Banstala Railway Station, why was its speed slowed down?

· The Central Home Secretary Shri G.K.Pillai very categorically said that the incident was the handiwork of the Maoists in the garb of PCPA. Despite this admission, why the frontal organization of the Maoists working under the name and style PCPA (People’s Committee against Police Atrocities), which was responsible for the incident, was not named in the FIR lodged by the Railway Authorities with the concerned Police Station?

· Despite being the mob led by TMC leaders Santosh Mahato of Kantapahari, Man Singh Kisku of Tiyakathi, Dileswar Mahato of Nalbona, Paru Mahato of Baghghada, Madan Mahato and Fantus Murmu of Bhulabheda, Badal Mahato and Bidyut Singh of Dharampur and Maoists, why the Railway Authorities did not mention their name in the FIR?

In this connection it would not be out of place to mention that all these TMC leaders were also present beside top Maoist leader Kishanji during the release of the abducted police officer Atindranath Dutta on 22-10-2009 in front of Bhulageda Primary School in the presence of media. The whole country witnessed this drama in different TV Channels.

· When the train restarted its journey, why the graffiti asking for release of Maoist leader Chatradhar Mahato and other political slogans written on the train compartments by Ragesh Mahato, a TMC leader of Kharagpur No. 2 Block, were not erased? Was it a plan to reach the message to the entire nation?

· When the train reached New Delhi Station, why the passengers were not allowed to meet media persons?

· The Central Minister Sisir Adhikari has categorically informed the media that he had prior information about the attack on the train. Being in a responsible position, why did not he inform the Intelligence agencies of both the Central Government and the State Government as well as the Indian Railways in the larger interest of the safety and security of the train and its passengers.

· The Maoists have blown up railway station, railway tracks and other infrastructures of the Indian Railways in different parts of the country. They have openly taken responsibility for the same. But till today why Mamata Banerjee being the Railway Minister has not yet once condemned the Maoists by name for the same?

Does not it prove that the whole episode was a joint operation engineered and carried out planfully by Mamata Banerjee and the Maoists for the release of the Maoist TMC leader Chatradhar Mahato?

Being at the helm of the Home Ministry, P. Chidambram must have report about the unholy alliance between the Maoists and Mamata Banerjee. Despite all these serious questions, facts and circumstances, both the Prime Minister and the Home Minister have been playing duplicity with the nation by defending the Railway Minister for petty political gains which is not only unbecoming on their part but also poses a serious threat to the internal security and safety of the entire country.

It is proved beyond doubt that all their tall talk about the Maoist menace is nothing but an eyewash and hypocrisy.

RAILWAY MINISTER KEEPS MUM ON MAOIST KILLING OF POLICE PERSONNEL

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.

The CPI (Maoist) is a four-tier organization. The first tier consists of Maoist ideologues, the 2nd the ‘so-called’ intellectuals and human rights organization, the 3rd being its frontal organizations and the 4th the armed cadres.

The Maoist terrorist outfit is actually a perversion of Marxism-Leninism. In fact, 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’.

In last one year (from September, 2008 to August, 2009) the Maoists have killed 253 police personnel in different parts of the country.

Maharashtra is the worst affected state. Here, so far the Maoists have killed 72 police personnel. Next comes Chhattisgarh where 68 policemen have become victim to the Maoist violence. Then comes Jharkhand where 51 police personnel have fallen prey to the Maoists.

So far they have killed a total of 845 security personnel including police in the country. The state wise figure is as hereunder.

25-10-2009

4 jawans of CISF killed in Chathisgarh

8-10-2009

17 policemen killed in Gadchirouli, Maharashtra

31-07-2009

2 policemen killed in Bijapur, Karnataka

16-06-2009

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 the 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.

ORGANISATIONAL SET UP OF RAILWAY MINISTER'S ALLY MAOISTS

There is no denying the fact that the Maoist terrorist outfit is a perversion of Marxism-Leninism. In fact, it is an organization of assassins, hired killers, extortionists, blackmailers, abductors 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 easily and uninterruptedly in the name of ‘so-called’ revolution and ‘Maoism’.

It is in close contact with NSCN (IM) and ULFA, ex-LTTE cadres, National Socialist Council of Nagaland (I-M), Pakistan supported terrorist outfits and other separatist movements of North-East. They are in possession of at least 6,500 regular weapons including AK 47 rifles and SLRs

The CPI (Maoist) is a four-tier organization. The first tier consists of Maoist ideologues, the 2nd the ‘so-called’ intellectuals and human rights organization, the 3rd being its frontal organizations and the 4th the armed cadres operating in different states

1st TIER

Maoist ideologues such as Kobad Gandhi, Kondapalli Seetharamaiah, Muppala Lakshman Rao alias Ganapathi and others

2ND TIER

‘So-called’ intellectuals and human rights activists such as Medha Patkar, Mahasweta Devi, Aparna Sen, Sujat Bhadra, Vinayak Sen, Kousik Sen, Bibhas Chakraborty, Pallab Kirtania, Pratul Mukhopadhyay, Shaoli Mitra and others. They always justify, glorify, defend and legitimize the destructive and murderous activities of the Maoists in both the electronic and print media.

3RD TIER

Frontal organizations such as Committee Against Police Atrocities (CAPA), Bandi Mukti Committee, APDR, Lalgarh Sanghati Mancha, PUCL and others.

4TH TIER

Armed cadres with sophisticated arms and ammunitions

WHAT TOP MAOIST LEADER SAYS ABOUT RAILWAY MINISTER

The opinion expressed by top Maoist leader Kishanji and Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee in respect of each other in different media from time to time.

KISHANJI:

“Trinamool Congress is a party led by an individual. So, it is possible for it to work for the common people. Mamata Banerjee is the fittest person for the chair of the Chief Minister of West Bengal. So, we want to see her as the next CM.”

MAMATA BANERJEE:

“If Kishanji has really faith in us it is good. I request Kishanji for a dialogue and discussion with us.”

KISHANJI:

“We were with the TMC in Nandigram and Khejuri. Mamata Banerjee is to decide whether she would remain with us in Lalgarh or help the atrocities of the joint forces.”

MAMATA BANERJEE:

“There is no ‘Mao’ or ‘Meu’ in Lalgarh. Here, people are fighting against non-development. We support the ongoing agitation in Lalgarh.”

KISHANJI:

“Mamata Banerjee should take initiative to stop join operation in Lalgarh. She is in the Central Cabinet. She should demand stoppage of state terror.”

MAMATA BANERJEE:

“The joint force is committing atrocities on the people of Lalgarh. The Central Government has not done proper by sending CRPF at the request of the CPI (M). We demand immediate stoppage of joint operation.”

KISHANJI:

“Maoists have not killed anyone in Lalgarh for creating terror. The people have punished the CPI (M) and the police for their atrocities.”

MAMATA BANERJEE:

“Nobody is killing the CPI (M) supporters. The are being killed due to their own internal quarrel.”

KISHANJI:

“I congratulate the intellectuals of Kolkata for supporting the Lalgarh agitation.”

MAMATA BANERJEE:

“The intellectuals have done nothing wrong in going to Lalgarh to extend their support to the Lalgarh agitation led by Chatradhar Mahato. They can act as negotiators for discussion with the Maoists.”

KISHANJI:

“The joint operation has to be stopped. The police have to remain confined to camps. I cannot guarantee the life of the abducted Officer-in-Charge of the Sankrail Police Station.”

MAMATA BANERJEE:

“It is to be considered afresh, whether the joint operation is yielding any result or not. I am a Central Minister. So, I cannot say anything further. It is not possible.”

RAILWAY MINISTER HAND IN GLOVES WITH MAOISTS FOR THE RELEASE OF MAOIST LEADER CHATRADHAR MAHATO

The whole world witnessed with terror and panic how more than 300 Maoist hooligans in the garb of “Committee Against Police Atrocities” (CAPA) stopped the running Bhubaneswar-New Delhi Rajdhani Express at Banstala Railway Station at about 2-45 p.m. on 27-10-2009 and subjected its more than 200 passengers to inhuman torture and terror, both mental and physical, for more than 5 hours at a stretch at gunpoint. Besides looting their belongings, many compartments were damaged severely. The train drivers were also abducted and many passengers were assaulted for no fault. The mob belonging to nearby villages Manikpara, Joalbhanga, Tiyakathi, Kunduldihi, Nalbona and Banstala was not only led by 2 armed women cadres of Maoists but also by Man Singh Kisku of Tiyakathi, Dileswar Mahato of Nalbona and other leaders of Trinamool Congress. The place of the incident falls in the Bandhghara Gram Panchayat near Ward No. 11 of Jhargram Municipality. This Gram Panchayat is run by TMC-Jharkhandi Alliance.

The one and only demand of the gangsters was the release of Chatradhar Mahato, the most beloved Maoist ‘pseudo’ tribal leader of Medha Patkar, Mahasweta Devi and the ‘so-called’ human rights activists, who not only shamelessly and audaciously justify and glorify but also defend all the criminal activities of the Maoists. These ‘so-called’ intellectuals and human right activists have not yet spent a single word to condemn the cowardly act of keeping in captivity innocent passengers including women and children by their dearly loved Maoists for hours together.

It is also most shocking and unfortunate that while addressing a press conference at the same time in New Delhi, Mamata Banerjee did not utter even a single word against the Maoists. Even she avoided naming them, who are every now and then engaged in murdering innocent people and security forces as well as blowing up railway tracks, trains, railway stations, schools, mobile towers, bridge and government buildings in the country. On the other hand, she said that the incident was not the handiwork of the Maoists. She ridiculously and irresponsibly misspent time in trying to put the blame on the CPI (M) for the incident in order to earn petty and narrow political mileage instead of arranging timely measures for the rescue of the endangered passengers. When the Home Ministry of the Central Government very categorically refused any talks with the criminals for a swap, she even wanted to have a discussion with the Maoist gangsters surpassing her limits.

It is proved beyond all doubts that the Indian Railways and its passengers are no longer safe and secure in the hands of Mamata Banerjee who herself is a collaborator of the Maoists and allowing them to destroy national properties in a pre-planned manner.

Many many thanks and congratulations both to the Central Home Minister and the Chief Minister of West Bengal for taking a tough and bold stand in time. Their well-timed intervention enabled safe and sound rescue of the ill-fated passengers.

Last but not the least. The utter irresponsibility and perversion of the Central Minister Sisir Adhikari have surpassed all tolerable limits.

While the mayhem was still going on, he declared that the previous day (26-10-2009) at 7-30 p.m. he had received advance information from a secret source about the incident to take place next day. Now, the following questions arise very naturally and logically.

(1) If so, why did not he inform the matter to his Supremo Mamata Banerjee who is also the Railway Minister of the entire country and the Central Government in which he is a Minister?

(2) Why did not he even inform the matter to the Railway Ministry in the interest of the safety and security of the passengers?

(3) Being a central minister, why did not he inform the intelligence agencies of the country?

(4) Why did not the intelligence agencies of the country and the railway intelligence did not receive any such advance information from their own sources.

(5) When the train was stopped, why few hundred TMC supporters took out processions and rallies at Midnapur Town in support of the detention of the Rajdhani Express and its passengers by the Maoists?

Last but not the least. The mysterious movements of the Central Minister Sisir Adhikari in the evening of the previous day (26-10-2009) have raised many questions.

(1) Why did he go to Midnapur Medical College & Hospital at 7-00 p.m. to see Sahebram Murmu and other Maoists now under treatment for injury received while fighting with joint forces at Lalgarh?

(2) Why did he support the Maoists while addressing a rally in front of the office of the Subdivisional Officer, Midnapur the same day?

(3) Why did he attend a meeting with the Maoists at night of 25-10-2009 in the house of TMC leader Salil Saha at Shalboni? It may be noted that immediately after this meeting the Maoists gave a call for “3 Day Bandh” in the Jangalmahal areas.

The cabinet is a collective responsibility in a democracy. The Prime Minister is accountable to the entire nation for the activities of his ministers. He cannot deny or avoid his responsibility. There are only two options before him now.

(1) He should sack Mamata Banerjee and other ministers belonging to her party immediately and put all of them behind bar for trial for collaborating with anti-national terrorist outfits in waging war against the nation;

OR

(2) Take immediate necessary steps to desist them from taking recourse to such anti-national and anti-people activities.

MAMATA BANERJEE LANDS INDIAN RAILWAYS IN TOTAL ANARCHY

The Indian Railways was a symbol of pride, punctuality and comfort till recently. Since the day Mamata Banerjee has taken the charge of the Railway Ministry, it has in fact landed in a state of utter mess and anarchy. Instead of serving the whole nation as a Central Minister, she is more interested in remaining in West Bengal most of the time inciting her supporters to create law and order problems with an eye to the next assembly elections to be held in 2011.Besides, she is engaged in the drama of inaugurating one after another old trains in new names spending extravagantly from public exchequer. Moreover, she has been imposing her whimsical and fanciful decisions on the railways for petty political gains. Following are the adverse affects created as a result of her drama, inefficiency, total apathy and whimsical decisions.

· Frequent Railway accidents have become a common phenomenon.

· Dacoities and loot of railway passengers throughout the country has increased manifold.

· The safety and security of the railway passengers are at stake.

· Developmental works in the Indian Railways have practically come to a standstill.

· The Indian Railways have been incurring heavy losses due to accommodation of some ‘so-called’ intellectuals of her liking on different newly created committees at huge costs.

· The blowing up of railway stations, railway tracks and other valuable properties of the Indian Railways by her trusted ally the Maoists has increased manifold.

· Most of the train donot maintain time.

MAOIST INTELLECTUAL USES RAILWAYS EMPLOYEES FOR PRO-MAOIST FILM MAKING

Bratya Basu is a well-known pro-Mamata Banerjee and pro-Maoist dramatist. He is notorious for his blind anti-CPI (M) stand. He maintains regular close contacts with the Maoists. He has also visited Lalgarh a number of times to encourage them in their destructive activities and butchering of poor innocent people. During the last Parliamentary Elections this man had very actively worked for the candidates of Mamata Banerjee.

This so-called intellectual has done a shooting of a pro-Maoist feature film from 6th October, 2009 to 13th October, 2009 at Noongola in Howrah which falls within the own area of the Indian Railways. The film is purely a politically motivated one and is not connected with the railways in any way.

It is surprising to see that throwing all rules and regulations to winds, Mamata Banerjee had instructed in writing the railway officials and employees to be on duty to help the shooting in two shifts.

This is nothing but blatant misuse of the Indian Railways for the cause of the anti-national Maoists who are engaged in blowing up bridges, railway stations, rail tracks and other properties of the Indian Railways and in kidnapping railway officials in different states of the country.

Again and again, Dr. Manmohan Singh has termed the Maoists as the largest single threat to the internal security and safety of the country. At present, the central forces with the help of state forces are on joint offensives against the butcher Maoists in a number of states. But one of his important Central Ministers is directly in link with the Maoists and defending them publicly.

The nation, therefore, wants to know how long will he tolerate Mamata Banerjee in his cabinet?

MAMATA BANERJEE BENT UPON PRIVATISATION OF INDIAN RAILWAYS

On 29-09-2009 Sudhir Kumar, Executive Director, Electrical Engineering (Development), Railway Board has issued a Global Tender inviting private entrepreneurships to quote for building a factory at Dankuni for the manufacture of modern railway engines on the basis of “Build Own and Operate” principle. It is said in the tender that the Indian Railways would lease out 300 acres of land after developing it by way of spending Rs. 123 crores. The Indian Railways will be bound to purchase at least 100 engines from this private factory every year.

So far Mamata Banerjee not only talked high against privatization but also did not forcibly allow coming up factories at Singur, Nandigram and other places in West Bengal in the name of saving agricultural land. She used the Maoists and other anti-national forces for this purpose. Till recently she was talking about Public-Private Partnership Project (P.P.P).

But now she herself is hell bent on gifting railway lands and properties to private entrepreneurships at nominal rates say free of costs.

In this connection, it is pertinent to mention that privatization of the Indian Railways started on the recommendations of the Prakash Tandon Committee in 1993.

Subsequently, the Rakesh Mohan Committee had submitted on 12-02-2001 its recommendations to the then Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee for the corporatisation of 6 manufacturing units. She had not objected to the recommendations.

Now after eight long years, she has again taken initiative for the privatization of the Indian Railways. She has two purposes in mind.

(1) To hasten the death of Chittaranjan Locomotive Works which has been suffering for want of orders. The placement of order on this works has already been brought down to 60 from 150 every year by the Indian Railways.

(2) To hand over railway lands to the private entrepreneurships in spite of knowing fully that they were acquired under LA Act, 1894 for a particular purpose and not for handing over to private parties.

This is nothing but utter duplicity and fraud on the part of Mamata Banerjee. She thinks the people stupid and idiot. She also thinks that people believe and accept whatever she says and does. It is not understood how long the people go on tolerating this type of woman in the Indian politics.

MAMATA BANERJEE ALLOWS MAOISTS TO DESTROY RAILWAY PROPERTIES FOR POLITICAL GAINS

In different states the Maoists have been resorting to all sorts of most destructive inhuman activities. They have not only been butchering common people and police personnel but also blowing up schools, colleges, mobile towers, government offices and other public properties. Their main target is railway stations and rail-tracks endangering the lives of the railway passengers.

Miss Mamata Banerjee has taken oath as Railway Minister. She has pledged to the nation to ensure safety and security of the passengers. On the other hand her most trusted alliance partner CPI (Maoist) has been holding the entire nation to ransom.

It is most unfortunate and surprising that Mamata Banerjee has not yet used even a single word to condemn the Maoists for the destruction of railway properties by them. Besides, most of the time she remains accompanied by well known Naxalite leaders Purnendu Bose and Dola Sen.

Hence, the entire nation demands from her a clear statement on the destruction of national properties by antinational Maoist terrorists.

KOLKATA METRO RAIL BECOMES HORRIBLE FOR JOURNEY

Now-a-days the Metro trip has become a nightmarish ride. The commuters have to brave the ordeal of abusive words and accusing eyes in overcrowded trains. Horrible experience of jostling and elbowing is invariably associated with the journey. At peaks hours it is really difficult to board the Metro. Most of the time the coaches burst at their seams. The sliding doors refuse to close as a result of heavy rush. Late running of trains has become a routine affair. Besides, the commuters are inconvienced by the naming of the stations between Tollygunge and Garia.

There is no denying the fact that before extension it was no so.

Names are associated with the history of the place. Stations on the old Metro stretch have names of places like ‘Dum Dum’, ‘Belgachia, ‘Sovabazar’ and so on. When one asks for a ticket for any of these places it sounds very correct and normal. There are only four stations on this stretch named after great persons like “Jatin Das Park”, “Girish Park”, “Rabindra Sadan” and “Netaji Bhavan”. But it would sound somewhat odd and ridiculous if the words “Park”, ‘Sadan’ or ‘Bhavan’ were not there. The names of places would have been more helpful.

Renaming railway stations in remembrance of celebrities and martyrs for petty political gain is a matter of shame and disgrace. When at the ticket counters commuters shout “Give me three Nazrul” or “Please one Masterda” or “I want two Uttam Kumar” does it glorify those great men? Do those not sound ludicrous?

Mamata Banerjee in an official-turned-party function attended by the Governor of West Bengal, her party supporters and some sycophant “so-called” intellectuals singing, dancing and performing tricks and feats of jugglery to her tune inaugurated the joint venture project on 22nd August, 2009 in an abnormal haste without inviting the state government in order to earn narrow political mileage without considering the safety, security and convenience of the commuters. She named the metro stations without consulting the state government out of insular political considerations.

Metro is a national property. But she thinks the Indian Railways and the Metro to be her personal property. Her action is nothing but insult and humiliation of the great persons. She has practically been successful in reducing them to a laughing stock. Will the people of the state ever forgive her for this sort of whims and caprices translated into reality at the cost of the nation?

MAMATA BANERJEE SHAMELESSLY ADVISES CPI (M) ON RAILWAY BLOCKADE

On 18-09-2009, while flagging off Sealdah-New Delhi Durant Express in the presence of few sycophant spineless greedy intellectuals performing tricks and feats of jugglery and dancing shamelessly to her tunes in an official railway function turned political platform of TMC, Miss Mamata Banerjee called upon the CPI (M) to refrain from engaging in blockade of railway tracks in the larger interest of the development of state. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE DEVIL WORSHIPPING GOD. The whole country witnessed it is the same Mamata Banerjee and her goons who on the slightest pretext have destroyed time and again the valuable property inside the West Bengal Legislative Assembly, burnt trains, buses, mini buses, trams, cars, trucks, two wheelers, government offices and so on worth crores and crores of rupees. She had obstructed railways tracks and National Highways for days together during Singur and Nandigram agitations including Durgapur Highway Express for 17 days causing serious inconvenience to all. Even, she did not pay any kind of heed to the directions of the Hon’ble High Court of Kolkata. It is she who forcibly did not allow coming up of much-awaited Chemical Hub at Nandigram, Tata’s Nano Factory at Singur, expansion of National Highways, construction of Hospitals, I.T. Parks, Bridges, Aerodromes, Industries, Thermal Power Plants, etc. in West Bengal. Now she advises about industrialization, blockade of railway tracks, public inconvenience and development of the state.

She thinks that the people of the country are stupid and foolish. They will believe her words like those of the Ramayana, the Quran and the Bible as Hitler in Germany had assumed. She has not yet realized that her sheer dishonesty, duplicity, political gimmick and fraudulence for election gains stand exposed.

Now, the pertinent question is that how long such type of arrogant and irresponsible leader will be tolerated in public life and allowed in holding the country to ransom.

MAMATA BANERJEE MISUSES INDIAN RAILWAYS

There is no denying the fact that Mamata Banerjee has taken oath as the Union Railway Minister to serve the entire nation. But unfortunately her modus operandi does not fall on the lines with this pledge. In fact, instead of ensuring effective delivery of public service as advised by the President of India and being responsive to the needs, facilities, amenities and problems of the people & the railway passengers of the whole country irrespective of state, she has transformed the Indian Railways into a tool to serve her own political agenda in West Bengal. She prefers to be staying at Kolkata most of the days keeping herself engaged in the drama of inaugurating daily new trains and laying foundation stones than being at the Railway Bhavan in New Delhi performing her constitutionally assigned duty of serving the entire nation. It is not known whether these new trains and projects have the prior approval and budgetary support of the Railway Ministry or the Central Government. This pertinent question is raised widely because the past experience of the people is not good and encouraging. As the then Coal Minister and the then Railway Minister she had laid foundation stones of a number of costly projects with widespread publicity proving later to be without approval and without budgetary supports of the Union Government. All the official functions organized by the Indian Railways at the expense of the tax payers are utilized as her political platforms for mudslinging and vituperation against the CPI (M) and the Left Front Government. In order to satisfy her whims and insular ideology, none is invited to the functions excepting her sycophants, political supporters with party flags and festoons and few ‘so-called’ intellectuals drumming, singing, dancing and performing tricks and feats of jugglery to her tunes. The state government is shockingly set aside in gross violation of the federal fabric of the country. Besides, the entire Railway Ministry remains transferred to Kolkata. The railway officers are being reduced to a football kicked from one post to another. As a matter of fact, she has sullied the name of the Indian Railways beyond redemption and has undoubtedly succeeded in reducing it to a laughing stock. It is better to call the Indian Railways the “Mamata Railways” or the “Trinamool Railways”.

TAKE ACTION AGAINST MAMATA BANERJEE AND HER SIX CENTRAL MINISTERS FOR ACTIVELY HAND IN GLOVES WITH MAOISTS

In a three day conference of Directors General and Inspectors General of Police of the State Governments organized by Intelligence Bureau in New Delhi on and from 14-09-2009, Dr. Manmohan Singh, Hon’ble Prime Minister, had described Maoists as the gravest threat to the internal security of the nation. Shri P. Chidambaram, Home Minister, had informed the conclave that the Maoists had presence in 17 states and were responsible for 90% of the violence in the country. He had also said that 721 people were killed in 1,591 Maoists attacks in 2008 and till August this year, 1,405 attacks claimed 580 lives spread over 11 states. Both Dr. Singh and P. Chidambaram had some harsh words for the states for their poor handling of Maoist and insurgency problems and advised them to take necessary drastic steps against Left Wing extremism and other anti-national terrorist outfits in the larger interest of the nation.

In this connection, it would not be out of place to mention that it is as clear as crystal to the whole world that the Railway Minister and her six Central Ministers belonging to TMC are actively hand in gloves with Maoists in West Bengal. They not only support the terrorist outfit openly without any hesitation but also have regular meetings with them and provide Maoists with arms & ammunition, fund and manpower. Maoists, being the hired killers of TMC, have been perpetrating one after another gruesome crimes sending a chill down the spine of every reasonable right thinking citizen of the country. Their one and sole objective is to change the loyalty of the people from CPI (M) to Mamata Banerjee and install her as the next Chief Minister of Bengal. So far she has not uttered even a single word condemning the brutalities of Maoists in Lalgarh, Nandigram, Singur and other places. On the other hand, she has again and again tried to shield and shelter them denying their involvement in the ghastly murder of tribals and people from other weaker sections of the society. She does not stop here only. She has also gone to the far of denying their presence in those areas. In fact, the workers of TMC, Congress and SUCI have got intermingled with Maoists. Until now not even a single TMC or Congress or SUCI worker has been killed by Maoist butchers. Apart from this, Maoist and Naxalite leaders such as Purnendu Bose and others are seen openly on her political platforms as well as official railway functions. Mamata Banerjee and her Ministers & leaders have easy and safe access to Maoist infested zones. It is an open secret that the Maoist leader Chatradhar Mahato is a well known TMC leader of Lalgarh. The public statements made by Maoist leaders Kishenji and Bikash substantiate beyond doubt that Mamata Banerjee and Maoists are one and same.

So, to be fair in all respect, instead of playing duplicity on the nation in the form of giving advice to the state governments, it will be better on the part of both Dr. Manmohan Singh and Shri P. Chidambaram to take immediate necessary steps against Mamata Banerjee and the six Central Ministers for hobnobbing with and misusing desperately terrorist outfits and antinational forces for petty and narrow political gains.

CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME

DURANTA EXPRESS FROM HOWRAH & SEALDAH TO NORTH INDIA IS IN DANGER

As a result of unscientific, slaughtering, indiscriminate and illegal coal mining operation carried out for more than 200 years by both private and Coal India Ltd. a vast stretch of land falling within Raniganj Coalfields in W. Bengal and Jharia Coalfields in Jharkhand have become unsafe and risky. Occurrence of subsidence, gas, fire etc. under and near railways tracks have become a regular feature. In 1997 itself DGMS, Dhanbad had declared 171 locations dangerous & unsafe. By now the list has become lengthier. The railway tracks running to North India from Howrah & Sealdah Railway Stations stand on these dangerous zones of the two coalfields. In order to earn narrow political mileage adamant Railway Minister wants to introduce “DURANT EXPRESS” from Howrah & Sealdah to New Delhi without considering minimum safety aspect of innocent passengers. Will railway tracks standing on land vulnerable to subsidence and landslide will be able to withstand the bullet speed of “DURANT EXPRESS’?

HUNDRED DAYS OF INDIAN RAILWAYS UNDER MAMATA BANERJEE

 Mamata Banerjee has very successfully and efficiently been able to convert the Indian Railways into personal property of her and her party.

 Her party flags remain hoisted and unfurled everywhere inside, outside and at the top of most of the railway stations in West Bengal.

 Even on 15th August, 2009 instead of National Flag, her party flags were hoisted at the top of the administrative buildings of Bandel and Kadambgachi Railway Stations in West Bengal.

 Besides, she hoisted the National Flag at midnight of 14th August, 2009 in gross violation of the relevant provisions of the concerned acts and laws.

 Most of the Railway Stations have been turned into her party office. These are controlled by her party men. Her supporters travel in trains without tickets under the impression that it is their private property and fundamental right.

 The official functions of the Indian Railways have been used as a platform to preach and propagate her ideas and politics and promote her party interests.

 In every official function of the Indian Railways, few perverted greedy sycophant ‘so-called intellectuals’, people having loyalty to her only, her party hooligans and party leaders are allowed to remain present all along. She remains surrounded by Naxalite and Maoist leaders, who manage and control the entire function. The railway officials are mere onlookers.

 Having been ailed by the wailings of private enterprises due to ongoing global economic recession she has started pursuing with added zeal steadfast privatization of the Indian Railways under the guise of Public Private Partnership (PPP)

 She has already taken a decision to hand over 1, 22,000 acres of unused surplus land of the Indian Railways to commercial entrepreneurs as bonanza for construction of Luxurious 5 Star Hotels, Shopping Malls, Restaurants, Real Estates, Resorts, etc. through Public Private Partnership (PPP) Projects in spite of knowing fully the fact that most of these lands are agricultural and acquired by the respective state governments for a particular purpose of expansion of Indian Railways only. Hence, in terms of relevant provisions the concerned acts these lands cannot be used for any purpose, whatsoever, other than the particular purpose for which they have been acquired under Land Acquisition Act, 1894.

 Life long AC Free Railway Passes have been distributed gratuitously and charitably amongst some listed perverted, bankrupt, spineless and greedy ‘so-called’ intellectuals loyal to her and amongst her sycophants.

 These blind anti-Communist, anti-Leftist, anti-working-class and anti-toiling masses ‘so-called’ intellectuals hankering after National Awards, money and special privileges for themselves and their near-ones are accommodated berths on Railway Committees especially set up for the purpose at huge public expenses.

 Without consulting the State Government or taking the approval of the Statutory Committee of the Indian Railways she has named railways stations unilaterally and whimsically.

 Instead of maintaining austerity, huge public money of the Indian Railways is spent extravagantly on her publicity and in every function of the Indian Railways attended by her.

 In the name of saving “agricultural land” and ‘environment’ she with the help of Maoists, Naxalites, SUCI, land Sharks, Land Brokers, Land Mafias, real estate promoters, hardened criminals, industrial competitors, few perverted, dishonest, self-centered, sycophant, spineless, greedy anti-Communist, anti-Leftist, anti-toiling masses ‘so-called’ intellectuals, did not allow forcibly coming up of much-awaited Chemical Hub at Nandigram, Tata’s Nano Factory at Singur, expansion of National Highways, construction of Hospitals, I.T. Parks, Bridges, Aerodromes, Industries, Thermal Power Plants, etc. in West Bengal.

 Now the Indian Railways under her minister-ship is actively in process to acquire 35,000 acres of prime 2-crop/3-crop agricultural land for the railways under the same Land Acquisition Act, 1894 which she opposed violently in Singur, Nandigram and other places for pushing her narrow political agenda.

 The Tollygunge-Garia Extension of Metro Rail in Kolkata costing over Rs.1100 crores is a Joint Venture of Central Government and State Government. It was initiated by State Government in 1998 itself. It has shared above 33% of its cost. Besides, it acquired land and rehabilitated all evicted people. During its entire execution period Mamata Banerjee opposed the project vehemently and forcibly along with hooligans of CPI (Maoist), Naxalites and her party to sabotage the project. After becoming the Railways Minister she has shamelessly started claiming for herself all credits for the same and inaugurated the project on 22nd August, 2009 after naming its stations unilaterally without inviting Chief Minister and the Mayor of Kolkata. The entire function was turned into her party’s platform for political campaigning and merrymaking of her sycophant perverted ‘so-called’ intellectuals and hooligans.

 The abnormal haste in starting the Tollygunge-Garia Extension of Metro Rail without ensuring required safety measures and infrastructure for gaining political mileage only has landed the ever increasing number of passengers in great danger and risk.

 500 acres of prime agricultural land is being acquired for expansion of railways from Howrah’s Borogachia to Hooghly’s Champadanga.

 In the name of construction of 1000 MW Power Plant at Adra, more than 66, 70,000 valuable full grown trees are being felled showing thumb to the statutory provisions.
