[Reader-list] WB CPI (M) Deputation meets Governor on Nandigramdevelopments

[Tapas Ray]

Going by these and other reports, Nandigram is now "terror-free". The 
interesting point to note is that this status has been bestowed upon it 
by the CPI(M) and not the state administration. The magnitude of murder 
and rape is not clear, as the media were prevented from entering the 
area. So were Medha Patkar and some intellectuals accompanying her.

One wonders what the leaders think they are accomplishing with this, 
other than turning the state of West Bengal into fertile ground for all 
kinds of extremism.

CPI(M) regains control of key BUPC areas

Nandigram, Nov 11: West Bengal's ruling CPI(M) Sunday regained control 
of strongholds of an opposition Trinamool Congress-backed outfit amidst 
reports of a large number of houses being torched and a senior party 
leader claimed Nandigram was 'now free of terror'.

Kolkata intellectuals storm police headquarters

In an unprecedented action, leading Kolkata intellectuals, including 
filmmakers Aparna Sen and Gautam Ghosh, on Sunday night fought with 
cops, entered the city police headquarters and freed their colleagues 
arrested during a rally to protest violence in Nandigram.

Sen, Ghosh, upcoming actor Parambrata Chatterjee, poet Shankha Ghosh, 
playwright Bibhas Chakraborty and a host of others reached the police 
headquarters at Lalbazar, a stone's throw from the state secretariat, 
and demanded the release of 41 artists and intellectuals who were 
arrested before the Nandan and Rabindra Sadan cultural complex.
