State-sponsored terrorism of CPI (IM)

The state-sponsored terrorism of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) in Nandigram, against farmers revealed the fossilized-party’s fascist character. The West Bengal Chief Minister and a supposedly senior CPI (M) member justified the CPI (M) cadres’ thoughtless violence as pay back time.

Would the party have any right now to stand against violence perpetrated in other parts of India and the world? It would be out-rightly hypocritical if the CPI (M) ever speaks against a retaliatory violence anywhere on earth.

Buddhadeb – sad he shares a name with an apostle of peace – says the CPI (M) cadres only retaliated what some goons and anti-social has done and ‘paid back in the same coin,’ in Nandigram. By saying so, he only equated the CPI (M) of being a party of goons and anti-socials - didn’t we have a hint about that!?

Scores of people have been rendered homeless in Nandigram. The CPI (M) has all along championed the cause of the poor and landless in its state. Those – now we understand – were all rhetoric.

The party is nothing but a bunch of anti-national elements that have always dragged its foot against development, just to assert its credential of being anti-imperialist and anti-American. But it should bear on its mind that its greatest ally - Communist China - is inching towards America with every passing hour and is Uncle Sam’s third largest trading partner in the world! The CPI (M) should get out its Abacus out to do some quick reality check.

The party has even held the Indian Parliament to ransom with its handful of MPs with pre-historic mind-set. The power hungry Congress is equally responsible for the Nandigram violence by not requesting the President of India to dissolve the Assembly and imposing President’s Rule to protect life and property of innocents.

The Congress should not give into the CPI (M) blackmail anymore and should immediately ink the nuclear deal with America even at the cost of a general election so that people get an opportunity to hammer out a defeat of this dangerous breed of CPI (M) politicians.
