Comrades describe themselves as secular. But in action, their
behaviour is motivated by consideration of appeasing a particular
section of the society. The latest example has been provided by the
CPM-controlled Government in West Bengal where the division bench
of the State High Court had decreed a ban on the use of
loudspeakers in public places during the months of March-April as
the noise created by the use of loudspeakers disturbs student's
concentration during preparation for the annual examinations. The
ban came into force from the first week of March. But it did not
please the comrades since it did not place some diehard sections
among Muslims who fail to understand that the ban is not for the
benefit of Hindus only, it helps the Muslim students also.
Moreover, the ban does not only apply to mosques but all other
places including temples. Yet Government's advocate moved the Court
and pleaded that the mosques be exempted from this order. The
division bench, however, rejected the plea and said, namaz is
conducted in mosques five times a day but it is not written in the
holy Qoran that it has to be through the loudspeakers only.
