denunciation

Again, a new blow for our ‘Neo-Nazi’ CM. In a strong denunciation of pro-capitalists CPM-led Left Front government for “failing” to prevent the November Nandigram massacre, the National human Rights Commission has said the state government should bear the responsibility for the loss of life and property following the attack there by the CPM cadres. In its report, NHRC said “Since the state government does not appear to have discharged its primary obligation in preventing the attack by CPI-M cadres on 6 November 2007, it should bear the responsibility for the loss of life and property following the attack,” The NHRC report also made it clear that the local police “facilitated” the CPM activists’ attack. The Commission’s investigation team following the violent episode reported that “the approach of the police was totally partisan during this period”. This report must be seen as a serious blow to the pro-imperialist and pro-capitalist policies of LF government to forcefully acquire the farmland for building ‘Special Economic Zones’. Those who are not ready to surrender, they are being attacked and killed by goons (popularly called “cadres”) of the ruling party. Severely critical of the CPM-led government’s role in tackling the situation, the NHRC said, “The party in power should always be alive to its constitutional obligation to rule without favour and prejudice and never encourage or connive with the illegal activities of its supporters,” adding “The police and the bureaucracy should keep themselves aloof from political influence. Alignment with the party in power results in erosion of public trust which leads to unavoidable misery.”
