CPM shows its rougher side

After winning 175 seats in the Assembly elections, the CPI-M is going whole hog to establish its rule on Left Front partners again.

To start with, CPI-M cadres have allegedly unleashed a "goondraj" in several villages under Mysora gram panchayat in Panskura, Midnapore East, which falls under the Nandapur Assembly seat over the past two days. They looted and ransacked several houses and shops belonging to CPI activists at Paralakshya, Gurtola, Mysora, Kishorepur, Shyampur, Chawokgopal, Shyamsundar patna,, Shyamballapvpur and Sahalajpur. Around 100 CPI activists were injured, of whom the condition of Mr Gopinath Dhara, upa-prodhan of Mysora, Mr Pradip Bera, Mr Taher Ali, Mr M Nrayan Patra, Mr Srikanta Mandal and Mr Aison Ali is said to be critical. They are being treated in different hospitals. Two two-wheelers and several bi-cycles were set ablaze.

The CPI-M mob was led by Mr Jamshed Ali, the party's kramadakshya and Mr Kishore Pande, ex-pradhan of Mysora, CPI leaders alleged.

Feeling insecure because of the lenient attitude of the police, people belonging to other parties are fleeing their homes for safety. They have targeted Mr Madan Maity, Mr Sudhangshu Adak, ex-karmadakshya and Mr Ershad Ali, former LCS and district committee member of the CPI-M for allegedly instigating the villagers to for the Trinamul. They incurred CPI-M's ire as a few hundred followers of Mr Ali, who was earlier expelled from the CPI-M on alleged charges of anti-party activities, shifted their allegiance to CPI.

The CPI's Panskura local committee secretary, Mr Amal Dey, said that the CPI-M have issued a whip that the villagers join the CPI-M ranks. Today, however, the focus of their wrath shifted to Bijaharpur and other villages where Mr Chittadas Tahakur of the CPI was reelected. CPI-M activists are trying to establish their supremacy here, Mr Thakur alleged. Sixteen houses belonging to Adivasi people, built under the Indira Abash Yojana, were looted and ransacked by the CPI-M hoodlums. One shop was set on fire and two ransacked in the presence of the police.

Protesting against partisan role of the police about 400 CPI activists have been staging a dharna outside the Panskura police station since last evening. Their dharna would continue till all 37 accused, named in the FIR be arrested, he threatened.
