The women were earlier under treatment at Nandigram block hospital but later shifted to Tamluk Hospital. The doctors have already examined the two women and confirmed that they have some injury marks on their body.

Resign Buddha!

Demanding arrest of West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharya for Wednesday's Nandigram carnage, Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee Sunday said people would have the last word on the communists and not the power that flows from the barrel of guns.

'Buddhadeb Bhattacharya should be arrested,' Banerjee said at a rally near the statue of Mahatma Gandhi in central Kolkata after leading a procession of Krishijami Raksha Committee (Save Farmland Committee).

Nandigram - an embarrassment to CPI-M

http://www.indiaenews.com/politics/20070316/43302.htm

The big question is: Do our industrialists want to set up their industrial units on the soil soaked with the blood of innocent farmers? Do they want to build an empire over the graveyard of hundreds of farmers?

It is Cricket carnival. India is defeated by Bangladesh and Pakistan ousted in the first round itself.
See:http://www.cricketnext.com/

The craze for Cricket is like Fire spreading in Jungles irrespective of victory and defeat. Ad campaign and betting, live shows and gluing to TV and computors are the trends of the days. It is Joy unbound and it is Anger venomous. The Market blooms alround.

Two men allegedly involved in betting during India-Bangladesh World Cup cricket match were arrested in East Delhi, police said today.Manish Bagga and Neeraj Sehgal had accepted bets of up to Rs 8 lakhs when police raided the house of the former and arrested them last night, they said.
The duo were running a betting racket from Bagga's house in Shiv Puri area near Preet Vihar in East Delhi, they said.Police also seized a recording machine, five mobile phones and a colour television from Bagga's residence.

Cops remove protesting Bhopal gas leak survivors

Resistance in nandigram and Singur could not send any Alert to the Ruling Classes. Basuji is there like the Bhisma Pitamaha. He sees everything and says nothing. He is the Krishna in the Mahabharat who ensures victory for the Pandavas and it is the Ultimate Truth.

Truth is that India defeated.
Truth is that Buddha remains.
No hate may touch the hearts there in the power zone!

The real Truth is that the CPI-M wants to expand their political empire by force and that has been questioned by the local people. “In Bengal, we need industry, but we don’t want industry without a rehabilitation package,"

The Left Front has begun to distance itself from West Bengal chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee and and say they feel let down. The opposition parties, on their part, have called for his dismissal. The violence over SEZs has also surfaced the queer political equations — Congress is an ally of the Left Front at the Centre but in West Bengal, the Congress opposes the CPI-M. On the other hand, Congress opposes the BJP all across the India, but in West Bengal, it is an ally of the BJP.On the issue of opposing an economic reform-oriented Chief Minister, Minister of Parliamentary Affairs and Information and Broadcasting, Priya Ranjan Dasmunsi said that Nandigram is not the outcry of economic reform.
Communism has failed everywhere in the world except in West Bengal. What we see of course is only a façade, not existing actualities.
The Soviet Union disintegrated and Marxism was buried deep. What they wanted to achieve was the dictatorship of the proletariat. What happened was the dictatorship of a few who were in the top establishment. The few grabbed power and money and the proletariat was forgotten. Marxism has failed. The system collapsed. In West Bengal too, a myth has been successfully perpetrated. For 15 years, the Marxists have been in power. They have been claiming theirs is the party of workers and peasants.What is shocking is that the party has justified the police firing. They do not seem to be bothered about the killings. Instead of at least offering an apology – that was the least they could have done – they have angered the people all the more by their callous observations.

Cops remove protesting Bhopal gas leak survivors!


Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh):Five fasting survivors of the 1984 Bhopal gas tragedy have been forcibly removed to hospital by police here for refusing to take medical aid till Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan accepted their various long-pending demands. They were picked up while on the 14th day of their fast Saturday and have been lodged in the Hamidia Hospital here where they are not being allowed to meet anyone.

Bhopal District Collector S.K. Mishra has admitted to having issued the orders to remove the hunger strikers to the hospital, adding that charges of attempted suicide may be pressed on them.

The survivors have been staging strikes for the past month under the campaign 'Jeene Ka Haq' (Right to Live) to mark the first anniversary of their 800-km protest march from the city to New Delhi in support of their demands.

JAMMU, MAR 18 : (KONS) | Amid speculations of a possible pull out by Peoples Democratic Party from the coalition government, Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh has once again intervened and called former chief minister and party's chief patron Mufti Muhammad Sayeed to New Delhi for holding one to one talks on the issue of reduction of troops and revocation of infamous Armed Forces Special Power Act (AFSPA) from the state of Jammu and Kashmir.


India`s new alliances

India, Japan and the United States are to hold joint naval exercises in the Pacific Ocean, a marked increase in the range and extent of India`s fast-changing strategic re-alignment toward the West.

The exercises are to be held around Japan`s Yokosuka naval base on April 16, following a 4-day goodwill visit to Japanese ports by the Indian navy. The exercises, for which Japan will contribute a destroyer squadron and helicopters, are to focus on rescue operations, including training to cope with a future tsunami, and intelligence cooperation, to include code-breaking.


Maoist party calls for 4-state bandh

See:http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/B550496.htm

New Delhi: After 14 people were killed in police violence in Nandigram, West Bengal is simmering and the heat is catching on in other states as well.The CPI (Maoist) has called a bandh across four states — West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand and Orissa — on March 20.

"People in these states should realise that agents of imperialist forces have perpetuated the incidents at Nandigram and they should unitedly oppose displacement," PTI quoted the outfit as saying. Security was being increased across eastern India on Sunday after Maoist rebels called for a strike to protest the killing of several peasants in a West Bengal village, police said.


In its statement, the CPI (Maoist) alleged that the Congress, BJP and the Left parties were supporters of SEZs so that foreign and domestic companies could loot the country's natural resources.
Voices of protest over the police brutality in Nandigram are being heard from across party lines.

The left claims it is a party of workers and peasants. The savage unleashing of state terror in Nandigram exposes the hollowness of this claim. And does anyone want to build their industrial houses on soil soaked with the blood of innocent farmers?

"We are on high alert as the Maoists could try to disrupt law and order especially after recent events," A.K. Maliwal, a senior police official, told Reuters in Kolkata.

Maoist rebels distributed leaflets and sent notices to village council offices in Orissa, Jharkhand and West Bengal, urging everyone to join the strike, police said.


The communists are killing peasants in Nandigram and Singur. They are not one bit worried about the grim goings-on in these places. The party claims it is working for the welfare of peasants and workers. The Marxist chief minister sent a huge contingent of police to Nandigram to restore law and order.”
They opened fire and killed the peasants. It was an act of sheer cruelty. While the nation was appalled by the savagery of the police, the party’s politbureau justified the police firing.
They fired on unarmed farmers.
The peasants do not want to send their land – agricultural land.
The chief minister had an interview to a TV channel had stated that the land would be taken by the government only if there was consent by the villagers. And he had claimed that 99 per cent of the villagers were willing to go away.
When the police arrived at Nandigram to accomplish their bloody mission, there were 5000 protesting villagers. They opened fire indiscriminately and killed and injured the helpless villagers. And the next they fired tear gas at a hospital where the injured were getting treatment.
What sort of treatment could the injured villagers have got in the village hospital.
All of them had sustained bullet injuries.
They should have got prompt blood transfusions; the bullets must have been surgically removed. There would have been more survivors if they had got timely treatment.
It looks like there is no democracy in West Bengal. The state cares a damn for the opinions, preferences and sentiments of peasants and workers. The bosses rule with an iron hand.
Even after all political parties condemned the brutality of the West Bengal police, the state government went ahead with its one-track objective. It is clear it does not mind if hundreds of poor people are killed. It is not going to give up the SEZ project. Political leaders are not allowed to go into Nandigram. There are restrictions on the press as well.





Cricket Carnival

Bangladeshis celebrate victory over India andJolted India gear up for debutants Bermuda .India will have no time to ponder their shock World Cup defeat against Bangladesh when they face debutants Bermuda in a must-win Group B clash on Monday. Rated among title contenders, the 1983 champions will have barely 48 hours to shake off the effects of Saturday's five-wicket loss to Bangladesh after their embarrassing batting.They are now one defeat away from making a first-round exit and joining sub-continent compatriots Pakistan on the sidelines. The toughest first-round group has now turned into a three-horse race with India also needing to win their final group clash against Sri Lanka to take one of the two qualifying spots for the Super Eights.Their meeting against group favourites Sri Lanka on March 23 would be a virtual semi-final if they get past Bermuda unscathed.

Thousands of elated fans poured onto the streets of the capital on Sunday morning to celebrate Bangladesh's shock five-wicket victory over India in their opening World Cup Group 'B' match at Port of Spain in Trinidad.Bangladesh beat Scotland and Pakistan in their first World Cup in 1999, but failed to win a match in 2003. Flag-waving students from the sprawling campus of the Dhaka University danced and sang in jubilation as others chanted "Bangladesh Bangladesh."The long day of celebration was sparked when Mushfiqur Rahim hit the winning boundary to steer Bangladesh to victory at 3 a.m. on Sunday.The joyful scenes continued unabated, despite a ban on marches and gatherings that was imposed on January 11 following political violence that killed 45 people.

Former India players have called for Sehwag to be dropped and the team management will be under pressure despite the 28-year-old batsman's ability to provide quick starts.

While in India, Cricket fans, angry over the Indian team's loss to minnows Bangladesh in the World Cup, damaged wicketkeeper-batsman Mahendra Singh Dhoni's under-construction house in Ranchi. Around two hundred fans under the banner of the Jharkhand Yuva Morcha (JYM) attacked the house in the Harmu housing colony. JYM is the youth wing of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), which is part of Jharkhand's ruling alliance.The house was being built on 4,000 square feet of land, costing around Rs.5 million, gifted to the dashing player by former Jharkhand chief minister Arjun Munda. The angry protesters burnt an effigy of the dashing player and shouted slogans "Dhoni Murdabad" (Down with Dhoni) and demanded that the land gifted to him be taken back.


Cricket fans burn posters of Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag in Amritsar after the India's shock three-wicket loss to Bangladesh at the World Cup on Saturday.Similar protests were carried out in Jalandhar and Ahmedabad on Sunday as the country woke up with the bitter taste of defeat.

In Jalandhar, cricket lovers gathered at local Company Bagh Chowk and raised slogans against the national team before burning posters of city boy Harbhajan Singh, Sehwag, Rahul Dravid and Tendulkar.

The protestors in Ahmedabad said the team "betrayed the hopes of an entire nation" but were full of praise for Sourav Ganguly, who stood his ground and top-scored with 66.

"Dada (Sourav) is the real champ. He was put down by the team management and many people. But given a chance he has risen to the occassion," said Hardik, another protestor.

In a rather ironic incident in Allahbad, cricket fans, who had stoned and blackened Mohammed Kaif's house after India's disappointing performance against Holland in the 2003 opener, gathered to demand the middle-order batsman's inclusion in place of the out-of-form Sehwag.


The CPI(M) today ruled out replacing Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee as the Chief Minister of West Bengal even though he faced intense criticism for the violence at Nandigram. By ordering police to open fire on peasants trying to protect their land from being acquired for a Special Economic Zone (SEZ), the communist government of West Bengal state has indicated the crumbling away of the last bulwark in India against neo-liberal and free market policies. West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee met Governor Gopal Krishna Gandhi who had voiced his anguish over the March 14 police firing at Nandigram. On the other hand,Bhattacharjee drove to the Raj Bhavan after a function at Salt Lake and remained closeted with the Governor for about 35 minutes. The Chief Minister is understood to have briefed the Governor about the situation in Nandigram.

In a statement following the Nandigram incident, the Governor had expressed 'a sense of cold terror' and said, "Was this spilling of human blood not avoidable? What is the public purpose served by the use of force that we have witnessed?"

Earlier in the day, social activist Medha Patkar also met the Governor and demanded a judicial inquiry into the incident in addition to the ongoing CBI probe. Patkar also sought the Governor's intervention in compensating and rehabilitating the survivors of the firing.

Stealth appears to be the key to how the UPA government functions. So, despite the missive on the impact of foreign retail on the small kirana shops in the country written by Congress President Sonia Gandhi to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, everyone in the government knows that it was never to be taken seriously.Why else do you think the commerce ministry shot off the kind of reply it did saying there was little evidence that large retailers caused smaller ones to close down. The fact is that the government opened up retail to foreigners in a very deliberate manner, and key functionaries of the government have admitted as much in private -- it allowed foreign investment in the back-end or the cash-and-carry segment, and then let foreign retailers appoint Indians as franchisees for the front-end, making the Wal-Mart entry into the country very very legal.The ultimate in the sophistry, of course, is the government appointing ICRIER to do an impact study when the same organisation did a similar study (though it wasn't particularly thorough) just last year!

Imran blames Inzamam for early exit in World Cup

Former Pakistan captain Imran Khan squarely blamed skipper Inzamam-ul-Haq for the team's shock defeat to Ireland and its early exit from the World Cup, saying he failed to provide an inspirational leadership. "I think this was one of the worst performances of the team I have ever seen in my career. It is unthinkable we should lose to Ireland," Imran said. The cricketer-turned-politician, who led Pakistan to title win in the 1992 World Cup, said the way Inzamam, Woolmer and the selectors had approached the preparations for the tournament was a recipe for disaster.

Cricket fan dies while watching India-Bangla match

Ahmedabad: A forty-five-year-old man died in Gujarat's Jamnagar district while watching the cricket World Cup match between India and Bangladesh, a family member of the deceased said here.
However, the family was not sure if the man died due to the shock triggered by India's poor display in its opening match. Vinod Koetcha, a fruit vendor, listened to radio commentary to keep a tab on the match in the evening and closed his shop after dark to watch the remaining action on television with his family members.

"But as the game progressed he suddenly stopped responding to my questions and when I called him he was motionless," Pravin, brother of Koetcha said.

Vinod's wife, four children and brother rushed him to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.


He Will Remain So!
"The people of West Bengal elected a Left Front Government. Bhattacharjee is the Chief Minister. He will remain so," CPI(M) General Secretary Prakash Karat told reporters after a meeting with the party's state leadership. Karat, who air-dashed here today, took stock of the situation at a meeting with the CPI(M) state leadership, including Bhattacharjee and party State Secretary Biman Bose.

"I have met the state leaders and collected all the reports relating to the incident. I will place the reports before the Polit Bureau for discussion," he said.

He later left for the Salt Lake residence of former Chief Minister Jyoti Basu to discuss the issue with him. Basu has been critical of the manner in which the police had fired indiscriminately on the villagers at Nandigram.

Singur explosion

A crude bomb exploded on Sunday near the Tata Motors' small car project site in Singur.However, there were no casualties in the explosion which caused panic among the workers there, police said.
The explosion occurred in the early hours of the day at Gopalnagar-Bosepukur area adjacent to the boundary wall of the controversial project site. The blast damaged a part of the wall.The workers and locals immediately informed the police which rushed to the spot with bomb disposal squad and found seven "bomb-like" objects, Hooghly Superintendent of Police Supratim Sarkar said.He said the entire area has been cordoned off to avoid any untoward incident.

IGP (law and order) Raj Kanojia said that initial investigation revealed that an explosion of a crude bomb damaged a part of the wall of the project site and caused panic among workers.

CBI Gets CPIM Flag

Meanwhile,the CBI found a CPM flag, several CPM leaflets, a handdrawn map of the Sonachura area and six helmets similar to those worn by the police in Nandigram.These were among the seizures made by the CBI during the arrest of ten persons on Saturday at Khejuri area.

The CPM has so far denied any connection with those arrested but the seizures point increasingly to some party workers being involved in the police firing of March 14.

East Midnapore's Superintendent of Police G A Srinivas said 14 improvised firearms, 500 rounds of assorted ammunition, binoculars and cellphones were seized by the CBI team from a brick kiln.
Earlier on Saturday, CBI sleuths from Delhi accompanied by local officers and forensic experts inspected several areas at Gokulnagar village near Nandigram.

They also dug up the earth at some places to ascertain whether arms and bodies had been buried there as was claimed by local people.

The CBI team had also visited Sonachura village and collected evidence on Saturday. The team began probing the police firing in Nandigram, which has witnessed protests against the acquisition of land for a SEZ. (With PTI inputs)

No one can handle issues like Jyoti Basu: Yechury


New Delhi, March 18 (IANS) No one should expect West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharya to handle issues the way his predecessor Jyoti Basu did during his decades-long rein in the state, says Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) leader Sitaram Yechury, referring to the recent violence and subsequent police action in Nandigram.

'Jyoti Basu was a larger than life figure. He still is,' Yechury told IANS editors at a special interaction here. He was responding to a question on Bhattacharya's handling of the Nandigram violence - where 14 people, protesting the acquisition of agricultural land in Midnapore district for an industrial complex, were killed in police firing.


'It is really impossible for anybody to handle the situation like Jyoti babu did,' he said. 'He's been there for more than 60 years now. That personality itself has contributed a lot to the Left. Nobody can fill his space.


'So compared to Jyoti babu, anybody's handling would have a lot of inadequacies,' he said, seemingly upset over the West Bengal government's handling of the troubles in the state.


The CPI-M politburo member also pointed out that the nonagenarian Basu had played a 'major role' in Saturday's Left Front meeting in Kolkata.


The CPI-M leadership was red-faced last week as its own allies in the Left Front came down heavily on the party over the Nandigram situation and threatened to pull out of the coalition if they were not consulted.

Later, however, the allies agreed on an eight-point resolution to save the unity of the Front, which has ruled West Bengal since 1977, and ease the situation in Nandigram.



Govt. to ensure safe return of homeless in Nandigram

With the CBI at work to make a list of missing persons in Nandigram following Wednesday's violence there, the West Bengal Government has initiated a move to ensure that those who fled their homes could return safely.

"We have asked the administration of East Midnapore district to ensure that those who are either missing or left their homes in panic after the violence could return safely," State Home Secretary Prasad Ranjan Roy told PTI here today.

The directive came in the wake of yesterday's crucial meeting of the ruling Left Front that decided to restore normalcy in Nandigram and withdraw police from the area in phases.

Admitting that the state government was aware that many people are missing in Nandigram, Roy said the matter was being looked into and the district administration had been told to prepare detailed lists of the missing persons.

On the issue of seizure of arms by the CBI, Roy said the agency was investigating the matter in coordination with the state police.

A directive has been issued to the district administration to cooperate fully with the CBI in accordance with the order of the Calcutta High Court.

Roy said the situation in Nandigram was yet to return to normal and the administration is trying its best to restore peace through political and administrative means in coordination with the local people.



Concern over missing people in Nandigram

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Mohuya Chaudhuri

Watch story

Sunday, March 18, 2007 (Nandigram):


There is a wave of disappearances in Sonachura and Adhikaripara, two pockets in Nandigram where 14 people died in the police firing on Wednesday.

These include men, women and children who cannot be traced.

While the police say they may have run away during the incident to save their lives, villagers who are now tracking those who have disappeared, say as many as 400 people could be missing.

Sreemati Mondal has been waiting for her son, Gautam Mondal for three days. He went missing on Wednesday when police opened fire on hundreds of people who were trying to prevent the forces from entering the village.

"My son has disappeared for three days. I have no information about him," she said.

Loss of lives?

At the district hospital in Tamluk, Anubha Khara is worried about her children as well. She has a bullet wound on her leg.

Her husband, who was shot in the stomach, is critical after undergoing surgery in Calcutta. Both her children disappeared after the stampede.

Anubha: I have two small children. They are not at home.

NDTV: Where are they?

Anubha: I don't know where they are. They are missing.

Villagers say when the police fired indiscriminately at them, many people died. Several of them were women and children, whose bodies were taken away.

Those who could, ran into the nearby jungle, but scores of them are still missing.

"Several women told me they were worried about their children, that they did not know about their whereabouts. This is another aspect. It is still not clear how many people have lost their lives," said BJP leader L K Advani.

Head count

At a medical camp in Adhikaripara, a headcount is finally being done. Thirty-five names of those who went missing from three villages are on the list so far. But the numbers will be far more.

"We could not find 35 people. People have fled from four to five villages. So we are unable to trace how many are missing. We think about 400 to 500 people cannot be found," said Sheikh Moidul Hussain, Convenor, Bhumi Ucched Protirodh Committee.

The police have its hands full, trying to control the situation and providing security to VIPs.

"After such a huge incident, many people ran away. Whatever I formation we are receiving, we are taking action," said N Ramesh Babu, DIG Midnapore Range.

The picture is far from clear. Even now, there are reports of bodies being discovered far from the site where the incident took place.

In the next few days, once the villagers return home, will the actual contours of the tragedy emerge - how many lives were lost on that bloody Wednesday.

Equating the police firing in Nandigram to the 1919 Jallianwalah Bagh massacre, senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader L K Advani on Saturday said the method adopted by West Bengal in acquiring land for industries is not right. He said industries could not be set up on the bodies of peasants. "I am aware of the brutalities committed by the British, now I find CPI-M is behaving as brutally as the British," Advani, who along with eight other National Democratic Alliance leaders visited Sonachura where the police firing took place, told reporters. "In Sonachura village the police is asked to hit the people on chest and abdomen like Jallianwalla Bagh. History will never forget the incident and forgive those who committed the brutality," the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha said.
