The situation in W.Bengal, after the victory of the Trinamool Congress, has drastically changed. From the moment the results have been announced, the Trinamool goondas have started brutal attack of the CPI(M) leaders, workers and sympathisers, attacking and ransacking the party and union offices, forcibly taking money from the people, harassing and raping women and so on.In short, the democratic rights are being attacked in a systematic way.
Since the Lok Sabha elections in 2009, in which the Trinamool got the upper hand a good majority of seats, till the assemble elections, 388 men and women, most of them belonging to the poorer and socially oppressed sections have been brutally killed by the Trinamool-Maoist combine. In some places congress also was part of the combine.
After the assembly elections announcement on 13th May 2011, in which Trinamool won, the attacks have increased. 12 CPI(M) leaders and 1 RSP leader have been killed in the first week after elections.Terror has been let loos.
Hundreds of CPI(M) offices have been attacked and ransacked and Trinamool flags put there. Trade Union and mass organisation offices are also attacked. Many people have been evicted from their homes. Women have been raped.Extortion is going on a large scale.The attack is mainly in those places where the Left have won.
The entire democratic movement in the country have to protest against these brutal attacks and killings. Democratic rights of the people have to be protected.
