We will abide by constitutional norms: PM on Mamata's demand | |||||||
Aircraft, June 17 (PTI) Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today virtually
rejected the demand of ally Mamata Banerjee for bypassing West Bengal
government in disbursal of relief to cyclone victims, saying he would
fully abide by the constitutional norms which guide the Centre-state
relations.
"Mamata Banerjee is an honoured member of my Cabinet and
we will work together as colleagues. But the relationship between the
government of West Bengal, or for that matter any state, and the
central government is governed by constitutional norms," Singh said.
"We will fully abide by constitutional norms which should guide
the conduct of Centre-State relations," he told accompanying
journalists while returning from Yekaterinburg in Russia after a
three-day visit.
He was responding to the Trinamool leader's demand that the centre
should bypass the Left Front government in West Bengal and directly
disburse cyclone relief to local administration. PTI

Lalgarh, West Bengal:
A top Maoist leader on Thursday claimed his group’s fight against the
West Bengal government in Lalgarh block in Midnapore district was a
“historical struggle” and will not be crushed by security forces.
Koteshwar Rao, politburo member of the Communist Part of India-Maoists, told CNN-IBN people in Lalgarh had revolted because the Left Front government of the state didn’t allow their progress.
“Lalgarh
people have many problems. They are demanding for land; they are
demanding for water; they are demanding for irrigation facilities. The
so-called Left government is not permitting any progress or project
sanctioned by the Central government,” said Rao, who spoke with his
face masked at an undisclosed location in Lalgarh.
“That is why people have revolted. People are fighting against state repression--state repression is the main factor.”
Rao
claimed the West Bengal government and the Central government, which
has rushed paramilitary forces to the state, had combined to create
“terror” in Lalgarh but people would resist them.
“It
is a historical struggle, it is a historical rebellion of the aadivasis
(tribals). It is a people's war and the Maoist party is leading them,”
said Rao, who claimed the ruling Communist Party of India-Marxist had
organised “counter organisations” against the people.
Rao insisted that Maoists had no alliance with Trinamool Congress leader Mamata Banerjee in Lalgarh but wanted the Railway Minister to clarify her stand.
"We have no alliance with Mamata Banerjee
(in Lalgarh). She and her supporters participated in the Nandigram
struggle--we also participated. Mamata and Trinamool should take a
stand in Lalgarh people's struggle against the armed forces of the
CPI-M. She can stand with the people or she will suffer because of the
central government’s decision (to send paramilitary),” he said.
"If
she and Trinamool support or stand with the Central government’s
decision she will alienate herself from the people. People will teach a
lesson to Mamata too,” added the Maoist leader.
The
state government on Thursday launched a massive security operation to
free Lalgarh of Maoist rebels who have taken over the place and call it
a liberated zone.
Security forces lobbed tear gas shells and made a baton charge to break a 'human wall' put up by Maoist cadres.
Authorities
say the Maoists are led by Rao, also known as Kishanjee, who is in
charge of militant activities, and Ganapathi, the political leader.

We have to get Habitual to witness LIVE Coverage from the War Zone within the Heart of the Nation. On the other hand,
Chidambaram asks Maoists to lay down arms and come for talks!
Home minister P Chidambaram said he endorsed the appeal of WestBengal chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee to the Maoists and the tribals to
come for talks.
"I endorse that appeal. If they wish to talk, they
should come forward to do so. We will be happy to facilitate the talks," he told
reporters after a Cabinet meeting here.
The home minister said the
ongoing operation by police and paramilitary personnel in Lalgarh would take
more time and the forces should expect the "unexpected".
"Progress
will be slow. They (forces) are making progress. ... So far, the operation is
going according to plans but they must be prepared for the unexpected. I
sincerely hope that with the kind of action we have advised, the operation will
be successful.
"An operation of this kind will take some time. In
fact, it will take considerably more time than was anticipated," he said when
asked about the situation in Lalgarh.
He said the forces were
"moving and moving cautiously" and the ongoing operation was not against the
tribals but only against the Naxalites.
I was discussing the Lalgarh Stand Off with my friends in Princep Ghat Down Train, most of whom do work in Government offices and PSUS.
They argue that the war is all about the Self Determination demand of the Tribals.
While I insist that SINGUR, Nandigram and Singur Insurrections expose the Anti People Illuminati Controlled Zionist Tri IBLIS Manusmriti Colonial Corporate Fascist Imperialist White Political Economy.
It showcases the democracy in which we live in and assume that we remain free with SOVEREIGNTY without being EMPOWERED, without being aware of the
INHERENT Injustice and Inequality. It exposes how the people
participate in the Political System! How do they happen to be
REPRESENTED ! How day to day real issues are addressed!
Man is a social Animal and every person wants PEACE. The demand and achievement of Peace remains an affair essentially related to our Social status. If we have something to defend, we may not go on War. What Shankaracharya or Vivekananda could do, we may not Dare at all just for our family engagements and liabilities!
What will the HAVE NOTS would do? They Die STARVING in intense Food Insecurity. The nature and Natural livelihood Captured. Opportunities MONOPOLISED. Natural Resources Open sourced. What have to do for the DEPRIVED, Dislodged, Displaced people , selected for the Ultimate KILLING?
Air India has clarified that the employees should forget Salary for July also.Most of the Jobs have been Digested by Computers, Humanoids and Modernisation. PSU List for Disinvestment and Divestment, Sell OFF has been taken up. Profit gaining PSUS enlisted. No recruitment in Government Jobs. Education and Health depend on FDI and FIIs. SEZ and PCPIR grab Harvests. Produces captured by Retail Chain.
Thus, Lalgarh is not an ISOLATED zone. The Killing fields countrywide wait such LIVE Coverage day by day.The War is within the nation. The Sate Power declares War against the people who DISILLUSIONED with the Political set Up have taken ARMS in hands. And it is an all out Resistance! You may not EXTINGUISH the Wild Fire with Military Option with Zero Tolerance unless the participation and sharing in the democratic set up get ENSURED with the EMPOWERMENT of the Deprived Starving People!
Political BETRAYAL is another SHOW case of Lalgarh Operation. Amidst face to face Firing Live Coverage, TARA news got CHATRADHAR Mahato, the leader of the People`s committee against Police atrocities. He said that the State and Centre Governments together declared war against the Tribal Population already SEGREGATED. He highlighted the Betrayal by Ms Mamata Bannerjee! Chhatrapati told that the OPPOSITION helped them in the Insurrections and
escalated their base. As of now, the Bengali opposition is a part and
parcel of the State Power in the centre.. those who stood united with
the aboriginal indigenous and minority communities, now align with
REPRESSION! He accused that belongs toTMC is planning to Capture the JUNGLE Mahal ousting CPIM under Lalgarh Operation against Maoists coverage. He talked of the atrocities of the Tribal mass on the name of Anti Maoist Flush Out. He talked of the Tribals being USED in Political Power game!
We have to think over this.
Even as Home Minister P Chidambaram today (June 19) rubbished allegations of Congress and Trinamool Congress leaders colluding with Maoists in Lalgarh, the CPI(M) has come out with a fresh accusation, saying Maoists have tacitly asked for TMC leader Mamata Banerjee’s help in the siege in return for help in the Nandigram ‘uprising’. CPI(M) leader Biman Bose today accused Mamata Banerjee of shielding Maoists. “I have given ample proof of what we have said - that in Nandigram the game plan is not (being carried out) by the TMC only, but by their ‘rainbow’ alliances. That has been proved by Kishenji (Maoist leader who gave an interview to the media) who said ‘We helped them in Nandigram now we seek their help in the case of Lalgarh.’ At a media conference today Home Minister Chidambaram had said it was ‘unjustified and unwarranted’ to insinuate that Maoists in Lalgarh were supported by the Congress and Trinamool Congress. | ||||
How does Political representation work? Professor Vijoy Kumar from Trichur called me this afternoon and informed that OBCs get FORTY percent reservation in Kerala. While in Bengal, Forty Two percent of OBC population gets only SEVEN percent Reservation belated. Kerala Chief Minister AchutyanandanOBC, but in Bengal even until one year or more, back no OBC Minister got place in the MINISTRY. We exposed this and only a state Minister, Mr Maikap is coopted with insignificant Ministry.
How the Indigenous, Aboriginal and Minority Communities are represented in Policy and decision making irrespective of quota and representation? How the SOCIALIST or Marxist slogans and Flagship Welfare programme mean on grass root level, it have to be dealt politically. But the STATE Power deals with these basic issues with MILITARY STRIKE Power!
Thus, Maoists ESCALATE their bases in 188 districts and I am afraid, they become the Mainstay Political force very soon as the DEMOCRACY has FAILED miserably!
What should we do? Should we treat the LIVE Coverage as we treated it during the FIRST GULF War and then the World suddenly became the UNIPOLAR GLOBAL VILLAGE and Nations and nationalities SUBORDINATED and SURRENDERED to Monopolistic Aggression, Illuminati and Tri Iblis satanic order?
Or should we react otherwise ?
Is there any DEMOCRATIC option of Resistance left as we may not MATCH the STRIKE POWER of the ILLUMINATI!
Meanwhile, Security forces inched forward cautiously
today to end the five-day siege of Lalgarh by Maoists who blew up a
bridge to stall their movement as the Centre asked them to lay down
arms and come for talks.
Two companies of the Combat Battalion for
Resolute Action (COBRA), a specialised anti-Maoist force, began
sanitising the Jhitka jungle in the restive area in West Midnapore
district as the forces moved past dug-up roads and blockades using mine
detectors to avoid casualties.
The Jhitka jungle is a Maoist dominated area en route to Lalgarh, where tribals are in control.
Reports said that armed tribals stopped police vehicles on their
way to Lalgarh from Pirakata and that Maoist leader Koteshwar Rao and
six others have fled to Jharkhand but there was no official word on it.
In Delhi, Home Minister P Chidambaram said the Maoists should lay
down arms and come for talks, endorsing an appeal made to them by Chief
Minister Bhuddhadeb Bhattacharjee.
"I endorse that appeal. If they wish to talk, they should come
forward to do so. We will be happy to facilitate the talks," he told
reporters after a Cabinet meeting.
The tribals under the People's Committee Against Police Atrocities
blocked passage to Lalgarh by felling trees and digging up roads and
blowing up a bridge at Binpur, 12 km from Lalgarh.
The uprising in the tribal hinterland of Lalgarh taking a heavy toll of
lives prompted Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Thursday to
|
the root-cause of the disquiet.
Times of India reports:
NEW
DELHI: The uprising in the tribal hinterland of Lalgarh taking a heavy toll of
lives prompted Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Thursday to
|
the root-cause of the disquiet.
The day after his return from Russia,
Singh had a meeting with minister of state for tribal affairs Tushar A.
Chaudhary and sought to know the factors contributing to persistent violence
across the tribal belt.
The long trail of blood all along the
forest-dwellers' route from Andhra Pradesh to the border areas of Bengal, Orissa
and Jharkhand has triggered a new urgency in the top echelons of the government
to closely examine what ails the aboriginal community.
According to
highly placed sources, Chaudhary has already directed the officials in his
ministry to prepare a report on the basic causes of tribal unrest around the
country. The report will be submitted to the PM soon.
Singh, it is
learnt, is of the view that the socio-economic conditions of the tribals need to
be studied for a clue to the current spell of violence in Lalgarh in Bengal's
Midnapore district.
When contacted, Chaudhary said that his ministry
was taking a close look at the series of violent incidents in the tribal areas
to see if any pattern had emerged.
"I want to get to the heart of
the problem and understand why the tribals are increasingly turning to
violence," he told TOI.
The regularity with which the Maoist groups
have struck at their targets in Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and now Bengal over the
past few months, has made the Centre sit up and reckon with the danger lurking
deep in the forests.
Many experts view the growing level of jungle
violence as an outcome of the failed development process and official
corruption.
Guerrillas wary of CRPF Cobra strike in jungle lair
Prasenjit Mund & Caesar Mandal, TNN
KOLKATA/LALGARH:
For all their bluster, Maoists in Lalgarh cannot but be wary of the strike of
the Cobra. Apart from the army, this specialized
|
the country that can fight the guerrilla like a guerrilla. Raised last year as
Commando Battalion for Resolute Action', the men of these elite fighting units
have the doggedness, courage and cunning to match Naxalite action squads in the
forests of Jangalmahal.
If the Naxalites feel they are warriors of
the jungle, so do the Cobras. And 166 of them have already been deployed in
Lalgarh, say sources.
It is perhaps the deployment of these commandos
that led Maoist leader Kishanji, who is in Lalgarh, to call up a reporter around
midnight on Wednesday with a message for Mamata Banerjee: "Trinamool Congress
claims to be against CPM musclemen but its own government is sending central
forces to fight against us. Mamata Banerjee has to decide if she is for the
people or against them."
The Maoists, it seems, are jittery and want
the Cobras off their back. With the insurgent leaders openly announcing that
they would use women and children as human shields to delay security forces,
only a force adept in unconventional warfare like the Cobra can tilt the scales
against the Maoists. Blocked roads are hardly a deterrent for the jungle
warriors.
Cobra commandos are likely to infiltrate Maoist territory
in small groups of four to six men. First in would be surveillance teams, who
will avoid engaging the enemy even if they spot them. Each team would have a
communications expert, a combat medic (one adept both with the syringe and the
rifle), and two to three spotters'. Their first task would be to relay
information on the movement of the guerrilla forces, deployment of action
squads, the kind of weapons the carry and assess the fighting capability of the
locally trained cadres, said a CRPF officer.
Cobra is perhaps the
best-equipped paramilitary unit in the country, set up with a grant of Rs 1300
crore from the central government. They have an enviable arsenal, almost
matching a regular infantry unit light mortars, machine guns, rocket launchers,
INSAS rifles, FN35 and Glock pistols, rapid-fire Heckler and Koch MP5 submachine
guns, and even Carl Gustav 84 mm recoilless rifles, which can bring down walls
and houses. But what really set the Cobras apart are two things hi-tech
electronic surveillance equipment and a well trained sniper team, armed with
Dragunov, Mauser SP66 and Heckler & Koch MSG-90 sniper
rifles.
The CRPF shadow warriors have been trained in the army's
elite Counter Insurgency and Jungle Warfare School in Mizoram and CRPF's
anti-terrorist school in Silchar. They are adept in the art of camouflage and
jungle movement. Small strike teams can infiltrate Lalgarh forests (maybe they
already have), collect information and help plot a battle plan. It is
information from spotters on high ground (or camouflaged on trees) that will
help Cobra mortar teams bring down accurate fire on Maoist positions.
Besides, the information collected by Cobra spotters will help cut
off escape routes and, in fact, give an idea of whether the Maoists really have
the stomach for a fight or are looking to escape by leaving some local
scapegoats in a rearguard action. Such information would be vital for the
beleaguered Bengal government, say sources. It can claim a much-needed victory
with minimum bloodshed.
"And if the Maoists do stand and fight which
would go against the guerrilla manual of retreating when outgunned and
outnumbered the commandos will be the potent strike force. Sniper teams can stay
hidden in the jungle and gun down Maoist squad leaders to spread panic and
confusion in their ranks. Remember, commandos fight dirty," said an army
paratrooper.

World Bank approves another $135M for Pakistan

The Bank Noted that the
increases in global food and fuel prices and Pakistan's ongoing energy crisis
have raised the vulnerability of the country's poor to an unprecedented level.
It said the $60 million Pakistan Social Safety Net Technical
Assistance Project will enhance the operation and management of a nationwide,
effective and transparent safety net system for the poor in Pakistan to cushion
the negative effects of the food and economic crisis.
"The
Government of Pakistan is committed to developing a modern social safety net
system," said Yusupha Crookes, World Bank Country Director for Pakistan. "This
project will assist Pakistan in establishing an effective social safety net
system that provides poor people with basic income support."
Simultaneously, the World Bank also approved $74.68 million to
support the Pakistan government's efforts to eradicate polio.
Although Pakistan has made progress in its efforts to eradicate
Polio since 1997, with the number of confirmed Polio cases decreasing
substantially from around 1,147 in 1997 to 32 in 2007, in 2008 there was an
increase in virus transmission with 117 cases reported, spread across all four
provinces.
Security forces begin ops to free Lalgarh from Maoists

operations to reclaim parts of West Midnapore district that Naxalites have
captured. It was the first response of the CPM-led state administration after
weeks of dithering that saw the Naxals evict state cops, burn police stations
and CPM offices and kill local party leaders. (
Watch
)
The
Maoist-led People's Committee Against Police Atrocities (PCPA) had planned a
massive resistance but the state police appear to have broken through the first
tier of defence as agitators gave in.
State policemen, backed by
central paramilitary forces, marched ahead using lathis, teargas and rubber
bullets, 12km from Pirakata to the Jhitka forests, about 5km from Lalgarh
— an area out of bounds for the administration since Maoists took control
last November. Another contingent entered from Bankura and reached Ramnangar,
close to Lalgarh. The police, however, suspect the crumbling of human shields
could be a ploy by PCPA to lure the forces deep inside the Naxal stronghold for
an ambush.
Maoist strategist Koteshwar Rao and PCPA leader
Chhatradhar Mahato were briefing reporters at Boro Pelia, 22km from Pirakata
when news of the advance reached. The makeshift camp was quickly wound up and
the leaders melted away.
Maoist top
gun makes quick exit as forces close in
As police and central
forces geared up at Pirakata for the assault on Maoists, the guerrillas —
led by top ranking leader Koteswar Rao alias Kishanji — huddled together
at a camp in Barapelia Chowk, 30 km away. They were cheerful, brash in their
confidence. They were sure police would retreat, and told villagers not to
worry. By late afternoon, the scenario changed dramatically.
As news
of the security forces charge came in, the rebels made a quick and silent exit.
Kishanji fled just 45 minutes after the first teargas shell was fired at
Pirakata, deserting the villagers he had sworn to ‘defend'. He was
reportedly smuggled out through the Bengal-Orissa-Jharkhand trijunction along
with other senior leaders, PCPA sources revealed. No one, though, was sure about
the leader's whereabouts.
Just a few hours earlier, Kishanji had
thundered: "Our supporters will hold their ground till the very end. No one will
be able to enter our territory." PCPA leader Chhatradhar Mahato strutted around
the hut confidently, passing instructions to his men. Everything looked to be in
order.
It was around 12.30pm that the TV started showing pictures of
the security forces gathering at Pirakata. By 1.30pm, he had a worried look on
his face. Police were on the attack. Chhatradhar cut a sorry figure as he sat
rooted to a chair. By 2.15pm, the camp looked deserted.
It took 500 cops 50 hrs to get 1 bandit19 Jun 2009, 1119 hrs IST, Pervez Iqbal Siddiqui & Kapil Dixit, TNN |
LUCKNOW/ALLAHABAD: It took around 500
heavily armed elite Uttar Pradesh cops and commandos more than 50 hours —
apart from four of their own dead
|
kill the dreaded dacoit, Ghanshyam Kevat, in a Chitrakoot village on Thursday
afternoon.
After holding on to his fortified position in a
two-storey pucca house for three days, Kevat was finally shot as he tried to
escape towards a nearby forest, after killing a constable, his fourth victim.
Alarmingly, STF chief Brij Lal was leading the team into the house and he could
have as easily been the dacoit's next target. However, in Lucknow, DGP Vikram
Singh crowed about the operation, saying despite 1,500 rounds being fired and
several grenades lobbed, "no civilian casualty or injury was
reported".
The joint team of special task force (STF), special
operations group (SOG) and PAC battalions surrounded the village of Jamauli to
nail the 40-plus brigand who has nine cases of cases of murder, extortion and
dacoity against him.
The operation was the lengthiest in the history
of UP police. Apart from surprise attacks by Naxals or the recent ambush by
slain brigand Thokia and his gang in which nine STF men were killed, the Jamauli
encounter is perhaps the only incident in which four cops were killed while 11
others including an IG and DIG were injured battling a single
bandit.
All that Kevat had was .315 bore rifle and some bullets. With
more sophisticated weapons and ammunition, it's anybody's guess how much longer
he could have held out against UP's crack units.
Kevat, surrounded
from all sides, killed constable Veer Singh on Thursday as he, as part of Brij
Lal's team, tried to enter the house. After shooting down the constable, Kevat
got out, went to the terrace and — with bullets flying all around him
— jumped on to another roof, and ran out towards the field that lay
between him and the forest. While police kept firing and missing, Kevat ran
almost half a kilometre before being knocked down by police bullets. "We chased
him and shot him dead in a rivulet as he tried to run towards a nearby jungle,"
Chitrakoot ASP Jugal Kishore told TOI over phone from the spot.
Brij
Lal led the final offensive after a pep-talk to his men. He asked them to move
and avenge the death of their colleagues. "This did the trick. The next
offensive proved to be the last for the dacoit," Brij Lal told TOI over phone
from Chitrakoot.

President advised to return Gujarat anti-terror act
NEW DELHI: President Pratibha Patil has been advised to return Gujarat's controversial anti-terror act, the Gujarat Control of Organised Crime
ratified, home minister P. Chidambaram said on Friday. "The matter came to the cabinet. It was decided to advise the president to return the act for making three amendments," Chidambaram told reporters here after a cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. "Under the proposed Gujarat Control of Organised Crime Act, a confession before a police officer is admissible in a court. This should be made inadmissible," the home minister said. "The act also contains a clause stating that a court cannot grant bail if the public prosecutor opposes it. The court should have the power to grant bail even if the public prosecutor opposes it," Chidambaram said. The third amendment related to section 20 (2) of the act that the home minister did not specify. "Once these amendments are effected, the cabinet will be in a position to recommend to the president to grant assent to the act," Chidambaram said. The issue has been pending for some two-and-a-half years since the Gujarat assembly passed the act. Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi has accused the centre of not playing fair, pointing out that a similar act is place in neighbouring Maharashtra. | |

A first in 32 yrs: CPM knocks at governor's door19 Jun 2009, 0429 hrs IST, TNN | |||||||
| |||||||
KOLKATA: Soon after the crackdown began in Lalgarh, MLAs of the ruling Left Front knocked on the doors of governor Gopalkrishna Gandhi, seeking
offensive against the advancing Maoists. In the 32 years of LF's rule, never before have the ruling MLAs walked up the stairs of Raj Bhavan to plead for their safety. This time, though, the circumstances are different. CPM is battered and bloodied in places like Nandigram, Khejuri and now Lalgarh. The governor, who was at the receiving end of CPM barbs for trying to make peace in Singur, now seems to be a saviour. The MLAs were closeted with the governor for more than an hour, and described in detail how attacks have been orchestrated against LF supporters and leaders in the districts. The governor had reacted with a "cold horror" statement after the police firing at Nandigram on March 14, 2007, drawing sharp criticism from the Left parties. CPM state leaders were the most vocal in his criticism. Two years later, CPM's chief whip in the Assembly, Syed Mohammad Mosi, quoted the same phrase to the governor while describing the attack on his partymen in Lalgarh, Khejuri and other places. "Leaders, workers and supporters of CPM and other Left parties are being threatened, beaten, their houses attacked, party offices burnt. We have been hit and our blood spilled. There is a desperate attempt to bring back the days of 1972," Mosi said. The LF MLAs submitted a list of 53 leaders and workers killed in different parts of Bengal in political clashes and Maoist attacks. They also submitted CDs of the interview given by Maoist leader Bikash, claiming responsibility for the attack on CM Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee in 2008 and also speeches given by Trinamool Congress Tamluk MP Shubhendu Adhikary which the Left MLAs have described as "provocative and irresponsible". "He is the constitutional head as well as Centre's representative. We have requested him to act in a manner which is befitting of a governor. We have asked him to inform the Centre how central ministers are instigating people," Mosi said. | |||||||
Lalgarh's poverty behind red rage
19 Jun 2009, 0436 hrs IST,Subhbrata Guha, TNN
At
first sight, Lalgarh doesn't look intimidating — its nonchalant villagers
and the languid pace of life is like any other village. Little gets
|
less gets out. But beneath the pastoral calm of rural Bengal, Lalgarh has been
simmering as the red lava of Maoist rage flowing out of this West Midnapore
town, 180 km from Kolkata, now
proves.
The state didn't wither
away in Lalgarh, it just wasn't ever there. For decades, tribals in Lalgarh,
comprising several villages under Binpur-II block in West Midnapore district,
sat on the powder keg as Naxals amassed guns and bombs, indoctrinated illiterate
village boys and fed on the disillusionment with the laid-back and corrupt CPM
administration.
In the last 30
years, the Left Front has not built roads to connect far-flung villages, with
virtually one bus plying between district headquarters of Jhargram and
Belpaharai daily.
Also,
adjoining villages are Amlasole and Amjhora from where first hunger deaths were
reported in the state, pointing to the ruling Left Front government's oppression
and dispossession. The NREGA has failed to provide succour to Ukil Murmu,
Gayanswar Murmu, Gour Murmu and Dhiren Manki living on Ayodhya hills and in
villages dotting the forests around Belpahari. Hardly any of them have got work
for the mandatory 100 days.
"I
got my job card three years ago. For all these years my application for work was
pending with the gram panchayat. Last month we got work for laying village
roads. That was for 15 days but I haven't received any money yet," says Balaram
Hansda of Barnajara village. "As far as I know the money has gone back. No one
knows when work will start again. Worse whether it will start at
all."
After working for four
days, Ukil Murmu, his wife Binti and father Gayeshwar from were paid Rs 1,070.
That is all that they have to live off for the remaining 361 days of the year
till they get some more work. "There is no more work now. We don't have any land
of our now. In this part farming is possible only after rains. We have to beg
for jobs from the landowners. There are hundreds of tillers like us who are
looking for work. The 100 days work could have helped us live better," says
Ukil.

Indian forces close in on Maoists
The forces are moving in to wrest control of the area from rebels |
Indian security forces are closing in
on the Lalgarh region of West Bengal state, where Maoist rebels have
taken control, officials say.
Troops are just a few kilometres away having removed impromptu road blocks set up by local villagers.
A "human shield" formed by the villagers to impede the troops' progress has now been abandoned, reports say.
Earlier this week, the rebels drove out the local police after deadly clashes.
The state government subsequently called in more than 1,000 paramilitary troops to retake the area after the police fled.
Some villagers have already left fearing more clashes with security forces.
On
Thursday, hundreds of baton-wielding police charged and fired tear gas
shells at a crowd of almost 3,000 in Pirakata, on the outskirts of
Lalgarh.
Meanwhile, the bodies of four more communist workers
have been found, taking the number of party workers killed in recent
violence to 10.
The four bodies were found outside Lalgarh. The
men were among six party workers who police suspect were kidnapped by
the rebels.
Maoist-linked violence has killed 6,000 people in India over the past 20 years.
'Bloodbath' fears
Villagers have clashed with the police outside Lalgarh |
West Bengal interior minister Ardhendu Sen has appealed to villagers to allow the security forces to enter Lalgarh.
"Please don't get used by the Maoists. Please move away. We don't want a bloodbath," Mr Sen said in an appeal to the villagers.
Earlier,
rebel leader Kishanji told the BBC in a telephone interview that the
federal and state governments should stop troops from entering the
area.
He said the government should hold meetings with the local people to learn about their grievances.
The
tribespeople-dominated Lalgarh area in West Bengal's West Midnapore
district has been under the virtual control of the rebels since
November.
Armed rebels are now reportedly patrolling roads there.
Over
the past few days, villagers backed by the rebels have taken over more
villages in the area and burnt down and demolished offices belonging to
the ruling Communist Party of India (Marxist), or CPI(M).
'Liberated zone'
The
BBC's Amitabh Bhattashali in Calcutta says hundreds of CPI(M) workers
have left Lalgarh in recent days as a result of the violence.
The Maoists claimed it as their first "liberated" zone in West Bengal.
Our correspondent says that taking control of Lalgarh is part of a long-term plan for the Maoists.
The
area encompasses vast tracts of the forests of West Midnapur, Purulia
and Bankura districts of West Bengal and adjoins parts of the states of
Jharkhand and Orissa.
Violence in Lalgarh began last November
after West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharya narrowly
escaped a landmine blast blamed on the rebels.
Protests were launched when a number of locals were arrested on suspicion of attempting to assassinate him.

Kashmir shuts down over deaths
The alleged rapes and murders have generated much anger |
A shutdown in protest against the
alleged rape and murder of two young women has once again disrupted
life in parts of Indian-administered Kashmir.
Separatists
have called for a march to the northern town of Baramullah. Security
forces have sealed off the town and suspended traffic.
Businesses in most towns across the valley are closed.
Protests over the deaths have raged in the Muslim-majority Kashmir valley since the bodies were found on 30 May.
The town of Shopian, where the bodies of the two women were found, remained shut for the twelfth consecutive day.
The
bodies of the two young women were found in a canal in the town of
Shopian on 30 May. They had gone missing the previous evening.
The police is treating the deaths as rape and murder. The state government has announced a judicial inquiry into the incident.
At least two people protesting against the deaths have died in clashes with the security forces.
The
BBC's Altaf Husain in Srinagar says the incident has put a big question
mark on the credibility and ability of the state chief minister, Omar
Abdullah.
Mr Abdullah told reporters days after the incident that initial investigations indicated there were no rape and murder.

Pakistani offensive 'nears end'
The fighting in Swat began about two months ago |
The military offensive against Taliban
militants entrenched in north-western Pakistan is nearly over, the
defence minister has said.
Ahmed Mukhtar says people displaced by the fighting in the Swat valley can start returning home from Saturday.
About two million people fled the area as the army took on the militants after they reneged on an earlier peace deal.
The minister said the army would now set its sights on South Waziristan, the stronghold of Pakistan's Taliban chief.
Pakistan's army is in the preparatory stages of a full-scale assault on the mountainous tribal territory bordering Afghanistan.
It
is said to be the hiding place of Baitullah Mehsud who is at the helm
of Tehreek-e-Taliban, the Pakistani Taliban group blamed for a string
of deadly attacks across Pakistan.
"As soon as Baitullah
[Mehsud] is spotted, he will be killed," Mr Mukhtar said in an
interview on Pakistan's Dawn News television channel.
The army has advanced north from its base in the town of Wana in South Waziristan towards the hills in the Madijan area.
Witnesses have told the BBC that soldiers are digging trenches and positioning artillery weaponry there.
The
BBC's M Ilyas Khan in Islamabad says Mr Mukhtar's remarks about the
operation in Swat nearing completion must be taken with a pinch of
salt.
Pakistan has conducted operations in several parts of the
north-west since 2004 - and has declared victory on a number of
occasions - but this has never prevented militants from staging a
comeback.
The army has also failed to eliminate the militant leadership in
Swat, our correspondent says. There have been many questions about the
true success of the operation with the fate of top Swat militant
leaders still unknown.
Swat displaced
The fighting
in the Swat valley began two months ago when Pakistani Taliban forces
expanded their operations into districts only 60 miles from the
capital.
Under the terms of a peace deal, militants were expected to disarm
in exchange for the implementation of Sharia law throughout the
Malakand division, which includes Swat valley.
As the fighting
to dislodge the Taliban intensified, some two million people were
displaced. The majority of these are living in overstretched camps on
the fringes of the North West Frontier Province (NWFP).
Although
the defence minister says the displaced can start to return home from
Saturday, the UN says there are still significant concerns about their
safety and welfare once they return.
Unrest
Meanwhile, sporadic violence has continued to afflict Pakistan's restive north-west.
Two boys' schools are reported to have been blown up by Taliban militants.
A number of educational institutes in the area, close to the Swat valley, have been targeted in recent months.
The
United Nations upgraded its security risk rating in Pakistan to Level
3, which means that expatriate UN officials cannot keep their families
in Pakistan.
It comes just one week after deadly attack on
Peshawar's Pearl Continental hotel, in which 18 people were killed
including two UN members of staff.

Families to sue for forces deaths
The men were killed in Iraq and Afghanistan in the last four years |
Four families of servicemen killed in
Snatch Land Rovers in Iraq and Afghanistan are to sue the Ministry of
Defence, the BBC has learned.
They claim the vehicles are too
lightly armoured to cope with the weapons used against them and that
the MoD was negligent in allowing their use.
However, the MoD maintains the vehicles are vital equipment and suitable for the jobs they must perform.
Since 2003, some 37 UK personnel have been killed while using the vehicles.
Human rights
The lightly-armoured Snatch Land Rovers are used on operations where troops need quick land transport.
They
are fortified with armour to offer protection against explosions and
ballistics, but have been criticised for offering insufficient
protection against roadside bombs.
The Snatch Land Rover was specifically designed for Northern Ireland |
Last year, the then Defence Secretary, John Hutton, ruled out a
public inquiry into their use and announced plans to spend £700m on
new, upgraded vehicles.
The families are claiming the MoD's
failure to provide adequate protection was a breach of their sons'
human rights, as well as claiming negligence.
They say last month's Court of Appeal ruling that the Human Rights Act can apply to the battlefield supports their cases.
Those
taking action are the families of Pte Lee Ellis, from Manchester, who
died in Amara in Iraq in Feb 2006; Marine Gary Wright, of
Stirlingshire, killed in Afghanistan in October 2006; L/Cpl Kirk
Redpath, of Essex, killed in Iraq in August 2007; and Pte Phillip
Hewett, of Tamworth, also killed in Iraq two years earlier.
The lawyers acting for them say they expect other claims will be brought in the future.
The
Ministry of Defence confirmed four compensation claims had been
received over the past 14 months following deaths involving Snatch Land
Rovers in Iraq and Afghanistan.
A department spokesman said:
"The MoD pays compensation wherever there is a liability to do so. In
these cases we remain profoundly aware of the enduring grief of the
four families who lost their loved ones in combat."

CPM men on the run in Khejuri17 Jun 2009, 0312 hrs IST, Suman Mandal, TNN |
CPM cadres in Khejuri are spending sleepless nights, with the terror of a
Trinamool Congress attack hovering over them. The ruling party
|
the area. The one-time CPM stronghold is now in Trinamool hands and an euphoric
mob is moving around villages, raiding empty CPM party offices and "seizing" a
huge amount of arms and ammunition.
Arms were claimed to have been
found in the deserted CPM party office at Itaberia, 20 km from Khejuri police
station, on Tuesday. A mob ransacked a CPM office at Bhajachauli, marking the
advance of the Trinamool brigade.
On Tuesday, the agitators called
off the "social boycott" of police under pressure from Trinamool chief Mamata
Banerjee, but will continue their "non-cooperation".
The change of
stance seems to have been prompted by a letter from the state Human Rights
Commission urging upon leaders to call off the boycott, said a local Trinamool
Congress leader. "Our MP Subhendu Adhikary told in a workers' meet yesterday
that he was advised by the HRC to modify the course of agitation," the local
leader said.
Subhendu's father, Union minister of state Sisir
Adhikary, however rubbished the plea. "We called off the boycott on our own. We
didn't receive any letter from anyone. Our leader Mamata Banerjee wanted us not
to cooperate with the administration. We stick to it," the senior Adhikary
said.
East Midnapore SP Pallab Kanti Ghosh tried to put up a brave
front. "We are not perturbed by the boycott," he said.
CPM, on the
other hand, refuses to believe that such actions are the handiwork of Trinamool
alone. "The violence resembles Maoist operations. It happened in Nandigram.
Maoists led the Trinamool brigade in certain areas, and Khejuri is no exception.
They brought arms from outside and planted them in CPM offices after they drove
out our cadres. Trinamool has a huge arms cache, much more than we have, which
is why they are blocking police. They will now proceed toward Arjunnagar and
finally capture Patashpur," CPM leader Asok Guria said.
The CPM
state committee has asked party organizers in East Midnapore to stage a dharna
at the subdivisional level Contai and Egra on June 25 and Haldia and Tamluk on
June 26. The agitation will culminate in a dharna in front of the district
magistrate's bungalow on July 3.
Guria said: "We will reach out to
the villages and admit our mistakes to the people, as our leaders suggested. We
will tell them that the party will take steps against corrupt men in our fold.
In fact, we identified them much before the Nandigram episode, but could not
take steps due to the outrage in Nandigram."

Security forces enter Lalgarh to flush out Maoists
Lalgarh (West Bengal)
(Source: IANS)
Published: Thu, 18 Jun 2009 at 21:50 IST
(West Bengal): Advancing security forces faced a massive 'human wall'
and firing by Maoists and tribals in this troubled zone as West
Bengal's Communist government launched a massive operation Thursday to
free the region of Left extremists.
Violence continued unabated, with Maoists gunning down four activists
of the ruling Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) at nearby
Goaltor in West Midnapore district.
The four had been abducted Wednesday, and their bodies with injury
marks all over were found Thursday, said Inspector General of police
(Law and Order) Raj Kanojia.
A top Maoist leader K. Koteshwar Rao alais Kishanjee claimed
responsibility for the killings to a private television news channel.
A day after being prodded by the centre to reclaim this headquarters of
Binpur 1 community development block, 200 km from state capital
Kolkata, from the Maoists, a huge posse of state police personnel,
backed by the central forces, moved in from their base camp at nearby
Pirakata for 'Operation Lalgarh'.
However, soon after, the forces came up against a 'human wall' at
Malida, as hundreds of tribals carrying traditional weapons like bows
and arrows, shovels, pickaxes and canes blocked the way by felling big
trees on the road as they shouted slogans like "Inqilab Zindabad" and
"Maoism zindabad".
Using megaphones, the police warned the protesters to move away and
clear the roads, but getting no response from the other side, the
security forces started removing the tree trunks when they suddenly saw
two Maoists standing in the nearby field with assault rifles.
Immediately, the well-armed central forces came to the frontlines and
the Maoists beat a hasty retreat.
The police started baton charging and lobbing tear gas shells, and
succeeded in dispersing the protesters. Two rebels as well as a lensman
accompanying the security forces were injured, eyewitnesses said, but
police did not confirm the news.
The police raided some houses in the vicinity and detained a few people before resuming their march.
A few kilometres ahead at Doima, the forces came under fire from some
mud houses near the road, and the march was halted for some time as the
securitymen ensured there was no danger.
Raj Kanojia said 18 people have been arrested, of whom three are from West Midnapore and 15 from Bankura.
Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhatacharjee said his government was ready to
hold talks with tribals on their grievances, and appealed to the
Lalgarh villagers not to get provoked by Maoist rebels and not let
themselves be used as human shields by the Left radicals. State home
secretary Ardhendu Sen said doors for discussions were open, but first
the violence needed to stop.
He said similar operations will also be launched in Bankura and Purulia
districts. "We will make all the 18 police stations in the three Maoist
affected districts free of the rebels".
Maoist guerrillas have been active in organising a tribal movement
alongside a group called the People's Committee Against Police
Atrocities (PCAPA).
Meanwhile, Kishanjee demanded that the centre and state government
apologise to the tribal people of Lalgarh if they wanted a peaceful and
amicable resolution to the stand-off.
"The prime minister (Manmohan Singh) and home minister (P. Chidambaram)
have started a psychological warfare by amassing huge forces. If they
start the operations, we will resist with the help of the people who
are with us," CPI-Maoist politburo member Kishanjee said over phone.
He said the rebel group has decided to call for a two-day shutdown
beginning Monday in West Bengal, Chhattisgarh, Orissa, Jharkhand and
Bihar.
Lalgarh has been on the boil since last November when a landmine
exploded on the route of the convoy of Chief Minister Bhattacharjee and
then central ministers Ram Vilas Paswan and Jitin Prasada.
Complaining of police atrocities after the blast, the angry tribals
launched an agitation virtually cutting off the area from the rest of
the district.
During the last few days, the agitators have torched CPI-M offices,
driven away the party's supporters and forced police to wind up several
camps, thereby establishing a virtual free zone.
Maoists have been active in the three western districts of the state -
West Midnapore, Bankura and Purulia. They also backed the
Trinamool-sponsored movement against the state government's bid to
establish a chemical hub at Nandigram in East Midnapore district.

Lalgarh ops launched, then stalled | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Abhijit Dasgupta | |||||||||||||||||||||||
June 19, 2009 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Lalgarh has been stalled till a new blueprint is drawn up at Writers Buildings in Kolkata. However, the jawans are totally ready and have set up a base camp at Bhimpur, 10 km from Lalgarh. Combing is on at Jhitka jungles for land mines as well as guerrillas. There is a hushed silence before the operation resumes and the cat and mouse game begins again. The strategy is clear: there will be no rush in the push forward of the jawans because the Maoists are only a few hundreds in number and the only thought uppermost is that no civilan deaths should occur. Copters have dropped around a lakh leaflets written in Bengali and Santhali on Lalgarh urging the villagers not to help the Maoists. The Maoist leaders who have been giving TV interviews over phone are now nowhere to be heard. Even the People's Committee Against Police Atrocities (PCAPA), Chhatradhar Mahato's wherabouts are not known. Sources in Lalgarh said that the Maoists had requisitioned men from Jharkhand. On Wednesday, there was an attack by armed Maoists but as the CRPF men retaliated, they fled. With darkness descending, the operation was called off for the day. The CRPF resorted to teargassing and lathicharged a human shield, breaking it up at Pirakatha, 15 km from Lalgarh as they forged inside in the falling evening light. There was massive rounding up of people. No cars or commando vehicles were used and the jawans walked the way. However, in another five km, the real test will start since that is where the real Maoist quarters with arms and bows and arrows begin and deep forests all around. The evening darkness will give the Maoists some advantage. Stray firing was resorted to by the Maoists in the human shield and the CRPF men did retaliate but without any casualties. The Maoists fled in the jungles. The CRPF men, eyewitness accounts relate, are working to a perfect strategy and nothing is being left to chance. There seems to be no hurry and it is obvious that all passing minutes and action have been taken into account while preparing the operation blueprint. The Chief Minister Budddhadeb Bhattacharya on Thursday said that unless the violence ended, there would be no talks. He said, the people of Lalgarh people should not fall "prey to the devious tactics of terrorists from outside." In a press note, he said that it was the responsibility of the government to keep peace at any costs. "But we will not allow terror to take over," he said. Earlier, all roads to Lalgarh had been closed by fallen trees in strategic locations and dug up roads by Maoists as the CRPF men started their roll-in into the area on Thursday morning. Ambulances and anti-land mine experts accompanied them. Most of those who took part blocking the roads by cutting trees were done by members of the People's Committee Against Police Atrocities (PCAPA) whose leader, Chhatradhar Mahato, told India Today on Wednesday that they had nothing to do with the Maoists. Mahato told India Today again on Thursday that the "war" would stop only if the state government and its police apologised for the misrule of 32 years. The Maoists are at an advantage because they know the forest terrain like the back of the hand and also because alerts of the CRPF passage and movement are being carried across villages by locals. The Maoists are fully aware of the cop movement while the CRPF does not know much of their adversary's actions except for TV footage being relayed to them. Sources in the police said that the police would push back the villagers to avoid killings of innocents and the CRPF would thrust towards the main Maoist camps in the forests. Four bodies of CPI(M) men, kidnapped a few days back, were found at Goaltore on Wednesday morning, a few kilometres from the Lalgarh jungles. This brings the total toll in 24 hours to six. In a master strategy since they do not have much firepower or sophisticated arms and men, the Maoists will use children and women as shields once the CRPF operation starts in the jungles of Lalgarh. Sources in Lalgarh said that this was one way that the Maoists had strategised to thwart the paramilitary forces, who are anyway hamstrung by the chief minister, Buddhadeb Bhattacharya's refusal to allow them to open fire during any attack on the Maoist camp. But the Maoists are not relenting and at least two buildings belonging to top CPI(M) leaders of Lalgarh and Dharampur villages were demolished with sledgehammers on Wednesday afternoon. On Tuesday, the district zonal secretary of the CPI(M), Anuj Pande's palatial residence was demolished similarly. On Wednesday, it was the turn of his brother. Arson and demolitions continued unabated and women have been told to blow conchshells as an alert once the CRPF jawans are sighted. It's open war in Lalgarh. The home secretary and DG of police rushed to West Midnapore to hold talks with the central forces. However, with matters now completely out of hand, the state administration may be digging its grave by stalling the CRPF action indefinitely and asking for 50 companies of paramilitary forces which the Centre may not be willing to do right away. The officials of the CRPF and BSF, 13 companies of which have been deployed in Midnapore and are waiting for the green signal to go to Lalgarh, want immediate action since the situation in 42 villages in the Jhargram-Bankura-West Midnapore areas has gone completely out of hand. The Maoists, on the other hand, are regrouping and building up huge resistance groups, with women in front with bows and arrows. Roads have been dug up from Midnapore to Lalgarh to prevent the CRPF from coming across. Four companies of the specially trained Cobra force from Koraput, Orissa are being rushed to Midnapore on way to Lalgarh. That makes it 13 companies of CRPF, BSF and now some women RAF units as well. |
