Human Rights in a Marxist State Brahaminical:Body of Lal Mohan Tudu is ROTTING in the Morgue! UPA MP Kabir Suman Writes to Chidambaram, Intelligentsia Signs Petitions and APDR Knocks the Court Doors for the Cremation Right!
| Tudu body unclaimed | ||

Lalgarh, March 1: The body of Lalmohan Tudu, the president of the People's Committee Against Police Atrocities, will be declared "unidentified" in another 72 hours if none from his family claims it. According to police's account, Tudu was killed in retaliatory fire when Maoists attacked the Kantapahari CRPF camp in West Midnapore. The police claimed that they found Tudu's body at the edge of a forest. But the tribal outfit and Tudu's neighbours in Narcha village, 3km from the Kantapahari camp, have alleged that the People's Committee leader was taken away by cops from his house and shot dead in a paddy field nearby. "Since no one in the family has come forward to identify the body and sign the paper saying this is Lalmohan Tudu, he will be buried as an identified person," West Midnapore superintendent of police Manoj Verma said. A police officer said the period of waiting before disposing of an unidentified body is seven days, but in Tudu's case, the police have allowed three days more. Tudu was killed on the night of February 22. Sources said this evening that even the three-day longer deadline could be extended "if the situation required" but Tudu's family is believed to have performed the last rites using an effigy of the tribal leader for his body. His widow Lakshimani told The Telegraph: "How can we trust them (the administration)? They staged a fake encounter and killed him. We fear the police will arrest us saying we are hardcore Maoists if we go to collect the body." Lakshimani said her husband always suffered from cold and fever and "was unfit to run even a hundred metres. How could he have been fighting along with the Maoists", she said. West Midnapore police refused to hand over Tudu's body to the Association for Protection of Democratic Rights that sent a team from Calcutta on Thursday. The outfit today filed a petition in Calcutta High Court seeking an order for the body's handover so that a "proper cremation" can be done. The group filed the petition along with Dhaniram Kisku, who claims to be Tudu's relative. But the police have said only "blood relations" can claim the body. Maoists kill one Suspected Maoists today killed the brother of a CPM leader in Purulia. Biswanath Mondal, 35, a grocer and brother of Yudhistir, the CPM deputy chief of the Balarampur panchayat samiti, was shot four times in the head inside his shop at 6pm. |
In a letter sent to West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee yesterday, the intellectuals alleged that the family members who had gone to claim Lalmohan Tudu's body were turned away by the police and threatened with arrest.
They demanded that the Chief Minister make immediate arrangements for the handover of the body to his family.
The intellectuals also wanted their representative to be present on the spot to ensure that proper norms were being maintained in the handover of the body and its cremation. The letter was also signed by writer Sankha Ghosh, Trinamool Congress MP and singer Kabir Suman, theatre personalities Bibhas Chakraborty, Koushik Sen and Saonli Mitra, poet Joy Goswami and painter Jogen Chowdhury, among others.
Speaking to a gathering here during distribution of 'pattas' (land rights) of forest land to 938 tribals from Jangal Mahal area, he said, "Maoist problem was a matter of concern".
Later, Bhattacharjee met top district police officials to discuss the Maoist problem.
About 1,000 policemen were deployed as a security measure in the insurgency-hit area. Reiterating that the CPI-M was resorting to "politics of terror", she alleged that the police were not allowed to work freely.
"The Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee government should be asked to perform raj dharma. If it fails to perform raj dharma there is no need for them to continue," she said. Asked about the response of Narayanan, a former national security advisor, Banerjee replied, "I can't say what transpired between us, but he is experienced on internal security."
Another Indian American chosen by Obama Admin
In yet another appointment of Indian Americans in the Obama Administration, an eminent attorney from the community has been chosen for the US President's Advisory Committee on the Arts.
Obama has appointed eminent Indian American attorney, Amy K Singh, as President's Advisory Committee on the Arts for the prestigious John F Kennedy Center for Performing Arts, the White House has said.
Based in Obama's hometown Chicago, Singh practises in areas of entertainment, advertising and marketing, and provides counsel to clients on event production and promotion, television production, talent and other matters.
Before starting her own practice, she held several positions, including as General Counsel/Senior Vice President of DDB Chicago Inc, and as an associate in the Chicago office of the firm now known as Sidley Austin LLP.
Singh was a member of the Junior Board of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and is currently on the Board of the Mikva Challenge.
Guitar in hand, Suman to sing for Naxals in House
Suman has been involved in a raging battle with his own party and its chief Mamata Banerjee over his stand in defence of Maoists and against Centre's crackdown on them. "I will demonstrate in Parliament premises. It will be peaceful, I will take my guitar and sing, against state-sponsored atrocities perpetrated through laws like UAPA. Whoever wants to join me in that is welcome," he told TOI when asked why he was taking a stand against government of which he is a part.
Asked if he had spoken to Mamata about his decision to demonstrate, he said, "I have invited everybody... would want her to be there with me," hinting that he had not discussed it with his party chief. Suman said he had wanted to demonstrate on the day the House opened for the Budget session but his party leaders told him that they would discuss the issue at the party meeting and let him know if he could go ahead.
"But I am determined and will do it before March 6," he said. "I am not against the government or my party. I support Mamata for what she is doing, I want UPA to remain in office, so that communal forces like BJP do not come in, but I differ fundamentally on some issues with the government and I want to voice my opinion," he said, adding, "I tried to gather opinion on my side but I am finding it difficult."
Admitting that "Maoists must also realise that it (the violent confrontation) has to end somewhere", Suman stressed on the fact that "government should take this opportunity of the offer for ceasefire and talk to Maoists to resolve the problems". Suman also said, "I am with the downtrodden and I am sorry to say the state is not giving me a chance."
NEW DELHI: Matching alacrity, the Maoists, it is learnt, have shot back to Union Home Minister P Chidambaram's crisp reply to their offer for a ceasefire.
In a faxed message, yet to be verified by the Home Ministry, the Maoists have asked Chidambaram to call their party's spokesperson Kishenji on a mobile number on February 25 at 5 pm sharp. Responding to the Maoists' 72-day ceasefire offer, Union Home Minister P Chidambaram shot back a terse reply meaning business on Tuesday morning. "I would like a short, simple statement from the CPI (Maoist) saying 'we will abjure violence and we are prepared for talks'. I would like no ifs, no buts and no conditions," Chidambaram said in a statement asking Maoists to fax their statement to 011-23093155, number of the Home Ministry's 24X7 control room. "Once I receive the statement I will consult the Prime Minister and other colleagues and respond promptly," said Chidambaram adding that there were many versions of a statement reportedly made by the leaders of the CPI (Maoist) and in the absence of an authentic statement, the government was unable to respond. Analysing the situation, Home Ministry sources said the Maoists aim to create fissures and confusion within the Congress ranks and its allies, thus forcing the government to retract security operations from their key strongholds. In the meantime, the Citizens Initiative for Peace led by intellectuals like Justice Rajinder Sachar, former speaker Rabi Ray, Mahasweta Devi, P B Sawant, Rajni Kothari, K G Kannnabiran and Manoranjan Mohanty have appealed to the government to halt armed operations in response to the Maoists' ceasefire offer. "From this development it appears that both sides have accepted the necessity for talks. This opportunity should not be missed. Armed operations by the government and Maoists should cease immediately so that the dialogue can begin," their statement said.| Karat makes grim Bengal forecast | |||
| MANINI CHATTERJEE | |||
New Delhi, March 1: The CPM feels "beleaguered and besieged" in Bengal and expects to do "very badly" in the next round of Assembly elections. This harsh assessment has been made by none less than party general secretary Prakash Karat, according to renowned British Marxist historian Eric Hobsbawm. In an interview in the latest (Jan.-Feb. 2010) issue of the prestigious Left journal New Left Review, Hobsbawm discusses the changes that have taken place across the world in the first decade of the 21st century. Among the developments that have surprised him since he wrote his tome Age of Extremes on the 20th century, Hobsbawm lists the "collapse of the CPI(M) in West Bengal which I really wouldn't have expected". He goes on to say: "Prakash Karat, the CPI(M) general secretary, recently told me that in West Bengal, they felt themselves beleaguered and besieged. They look forward to doing very badly against this new Congress in the local elections. This after governing as a national party, as it were, for thirty years." Elaborating, the 92-year-old historian and prolific author notes: "The industrialisation policy, taking land away from the peasants, had a very bad effect, and was clearly a mistake. I can see that, like all such surviving Left-wing governments, they had to accommodate economic development, including private development, and so it seemed natural for them to develop a strong industrial base. But it does seem slightly surprising that it should have led to such a dramatic turnaround." It is not clear whether the comment on the Left Front government's industrialisation policy as the main cause of the CPM's Lok Sabha poll results is Hobsbawm's own or based on his conversation with Karat. It is also not clear how recently that conversation took place — immediately after the election results or much later. Although the CPM general secretary has not been as forthright in public as he has been with Hobsbawm, it is well known in party circles that he represents the dominant view in the party holding the Bengal government's policies as primarily responsible for the Lok Sabha rout. The alternative view, which many in the Bengal state unit hold and which is tacitly backed by sections in the central leadership as well, is that the CPM would not have fared so badly had the Trinamul Congress and the Congress not joined hands and taken on the Left united. This view indirectly blames Karat's decision of withdrawing support to the UPA government over the Indo-US nuclear deal and thus facilitating the Trinamul-Congress tie-up for the party's disastrous showing last May. This section also believes that it is in the CPM's interest to drive a wedge between Trinamul and the Congress, and be less hostile to the Congress at the national and state levels in pursuance of this objective. Officially, so far, the Karat line has prevailed. The CPM central committee, in its assessment of the Lok Sabha results in June 2009, "was of the firm opinion that the withdrawal of support to the UPA government on the nuclear deal in July 2008 was correct". It also endorsed Karat's pre-poll efforts to form a non-Congress, non-BJP alternative or what is referred to as the third front as "a correct tactic". The only criticism voiced by the central committee was that "it failed to be a viable and credible alternative at the national level" and that "in the absence of a countrywide alliance and no common policy platform being presented, the call for an alternative government was unrealistic". The central committee's review of the party's performance in Bengal also endorsed the general secretary's line in so far as no mention was made of the Trinamul-Congress combine as a factor in the Left's defeat. Blaming "political, governmental and organisational reasons" for the setbacks, the review noted that "there is some erosion of support among the rural and urban poor and sections of the middle classes. There are shortcomings in the functioning of government, panchayats and municipalities based on a proper class outlook. This is due to the failure of the government to implement properly various measures directly concerning the lives of the people. "The apprehension about land acquisition has contributed to the alienation amongst some sections of the peasantry," the review said. While this remains the official view, there has been a growing feeling in sections of the party that the central leadership and the general secretary had chosen to put all the blame on Bengal for the poll setbacks. That the central line, which facilitated a united Opposition, was a factor has been swept aside entirely. These sections also believe that when the party is faced with hostility all around, the central leadership should avoid overt and covert criticism of the Bengal government and not foster "a defeatist" attitude in the run-up to the Assembly elections which are over a year away. In this context, Karat's comments to Hobsbawm which have spilled out in the public domain could further demoralise an already demoralised state unit just as it was shedding some of its defeatism in the wake of the massive turnout to bid farewell to Jyoti Basu a few weeks ago. |
| To: Home minister; From: My Name is Not Maoist - Ministry's fax machine meant for rebel talks offer flooded with grievances from common people | ||||
| ARCHIS MOHAN | ||||
New Delhi, March 1: Guess who the people need to thank for bringing the government closer? The Maoists, short and simple. Not to forget T.N.G. Prabhu, a senior principal private secretary (PPS) at the Union home ministry, who is at the receiving end, so to speak. Phone No. 011-23093155 hasn't stopped beeping and belching messages since last Tuesday when home minister P. Chidambaram asked the rebels to fax him a statement that they would "abjure" violence. The Maoists have not bothered to respond yet, but dozens of ordinary citizens have been faxing in complaints to the number at Room No. 126B at Raisina Hill, the seat of the Indian government. On Tuesday, after the Maoists had come up with an offer of a conditional ceasefire, Chidambaram had said: "I would like a short, simple statement from the CPI (Maoist) saying 'We will abjure violence and we are prepared for talks'. I would like no ifs, no buts and no conditions. I would like the statement to be faxed to 011-23093155." Senior officials confirmed that the fax machine had been rather busy since Tuesday. "People probably think they can get to speak directly to the home minister on this number," said an official. Prabhu, an elderly man with a calm demeanour, sits beside the fax machine that answers to the number 011-23093155. Prabhu, senior PPS to additional secretary (Naxalite Management) D.R.S. Chaudhary, is tight-lipped about the contents but sources said they ranged from complaints against unresponsive public servants, corrupt police officials and even on infrastructure problems. Many also write with the hope that the Union home minister himself would look into their problems. For the record, Chidambaram looks at each and every fax, irrespective of who it comes from. Officials said the minister not only looks at the dozens of faxes that people have sent every day on the number but also follows up on whether any action has been taken. If the faxes are in regional languages, officials ensure that the minister gets a translated version. Not that the home ministry does not have a grievance redress mechanism. K.C. Jain, joint secretary (co-ordination and public grievances), heads the division. His fax number is 011-23092392. People also send emails at jscpg-mha@nic.in and dirpg-mha@nic.in or lodge grievances online at http://www.pgportal.gov.in. "It isn't that our grievance system was not working properly. The publicity the media have given to this fax number is the reason for the huge public response," said an official. No if and buts about that.

| Do not involve state police, says Ray | |
| JAYANTA BASU | |
Former Bengal chief minister Siddhartha Shankar Ray's handling of the Naxalite movement in the 70s may have been controversial but few questioned the effectiveness of his methods. The Telegraph asked him in Calcutta how he would have dealt with the Maoist menace had he remained chief minister, his assessment of the Shilda massacre and its fallout, and the challenge of policing in Bengal then and now. Excerpts from the interview: SS Ray model You cannot go in for an armed solution to a social problem. By waging an armed battle against so many people (the tribal population of the Maoist-infested districts of Bengal), you are actually further marginalising these poor people and pushing them towards the Maoists. I do not support the armed struggle of the Maoists but the fact remains that tribal people in this country have been historically exploited. Despite living in an area that has a large concentration of natural resources, they have never received the fruits of such resources. I have to accept that this was the case even when I was the chief minister, and it has continued through the Left Front's rule. We need to start a development process through credible non-government organisations like the Ramakrishna Mission and Bharat Sevashram Sangha as the people of the Maoist-infested districts (West Midnapore, Bankura and Purulia) have lost trust in the state government. In fact, all political parties should stay out of the process along with the administration. An apolitical fact-finding body comprising credible NGOs, social service organisations, independent professionals and technocrats may be formed by the Centre. This organisation, after ascertaining the immediate development requirements of the area, should execute the work. One or two senior central ministers should oversee the process, and the Centre should fund all projects. Once the development process sets in and people start to realise the fruits of such initiatives, then an armed counter to the Maoists can be initiated with central forces by declaring the entire Maoist zone spanning four states (Bengal, Orissa, Bihar and Jharkhand) as a disturbed area. The state police should not be involved in the process in any way. In the meantime, if the Maoists agree to talk, a dialogue can start. This model, I feel, will also allow the Centre to perform its role under Article 355 of the Constitution, under which it is the mandatory duty of the Union to protect the states against internal disturbances. I have spoken and written about this model to (P.) Chidambaram (the home minister), and he has promised to get back to me after examining the proposal. I await his response. Shilda mistakes In Shilda, 24 policemen lost their lives because of complete lack of co-ordination between various police units of the state. The bane of Bengal is that the CPM, during its over three-decade rule, completely eroded the quality and credibility of our policemen by trying to control them for political reasons. They, if allowed to work with freedom, can be among the best in the world. However, I have to accept that given a chance, not only the CPM, but all political parties try to control the police force. What happened after the Shilda incident was completely uncalled for. The (special) inspector-general of police (Benoy Chakrabarty) showed immaturity by attending a news conference with his face masked, though most of his allegations (about the Shilda camp being set up against his advice and non-cooperation by certain police officers) were correct. However, the government's appointment of a committee to probe the matter is absurd, laughable and completely contrary to the prerequisite of natural justice. How is it that the people alleged to have committed or facilitated the wrongs have been given the responsibility to probe (the incident)? I feel the government should have approached the Chief Justice of Calcutta High Court to get the incident probed through either a sitting or a retired judge. Naxalite movement The way the Naxalite movement was countered by the police in the 70s was the requirement of the time. You have to understand the difference between the two situations (the Naxalite and Maoist insurrections). While the Naxalite movement was within a limited boundary and hence easier to control through police operations, the current movement has spread over a vast rural — and difficult — terrain. Thus, it is strategically difficult to contain it through an armed operation. Moreover, in the 70s, I had to order police action when they were easily succumbing to the Naxalites…. Arms were being looted but they were hardly countering (the offensive). The Naxalites were even killing traffic policemen. Not only were traffic policemen given arms, they were ordered to chain the guns to their bodies to prevent looting. There was complete anarchy. I told the police three things: follow the Constitution to act, don't see any political colour while you act and, finally, do not succumb meekly while you have a gun in your hand because you may be killed otherwise. But only bullets did not salvage the situation; there was a lot of backdoor manoeuvring and counselling. Every day after office hours, parents would come and seek protection for their sons. I arranged for so many of them to go out of the state or even the country so that they could be saved. As for the "mass cleansing", an allegation the CPM used to make regularly, I recently chanced upon an inquiry report compiled by a commission instituted by the Left Front government. The report says that during that period, 3,000 Congress workers lost their lives against 1,600 CPM workers. At least I cannot be accused of cleansing the Opposition; I actually became quite unpopular with the Congress! |

Taslima's article sparks violence in Karnataka, 2 killed
The police opened fire after protesters, who were taking out a procession, burnt 12 two-wheelers, two tractors, two autos and pelted stones at buses and buildings. The deceased were identified as Mustafa and Ataulla.
According to home minister P V Acharya, there was trouble in Hassan too, with protesters burning two-wheelers, shops and raining stones on buses and buildings. But the situation there was more under control. About two dozen persons were arrested in connection with the incidents.
Curfew has been clamped until Tuesday morning in both districts. The police force was meagre in Shimoga with most of the personnel being deployed in other parts of the state on account of Holi. The intelligence wing is also said to have erred in assessing the situation when the protesters began attacking shops and went on a burning spree.
One of the victims of the violence in Shimoga, Karanataka, died after the police opened fire in the air to prevent loss of property during the protests over an article by Taslima Nasreen.
In fact, the district administration had appeal to community leaders not to go ahead with their procession plans, in vain. In Hassan, minority committee members gathered in large numbers and forced the closure of shops belonging to members of their community. Hassan additional SP Yellappa told TOI that a section of protesters turned violent after submitting a memorandum to the deputy commissioner.
But IGP (southern range) Jeevenkumar V Gaonkar said the situation was limping back to normal, but they would continue intensive patrolling across the town for the next couple of days. KSRP men and additional forces from other districts have been pressed into action.
Meanwhile, the Mysore police tightened security by erecting pickets at many spots. Police commissioner Sunil Agarwal said, "So far, no incident has been reported in the city, but we don't want to take chances."
Karnataka home minister P V Acharya said the government has taken all possible steps to check violence from spreading in the state. "We have ensured an elaborate bandobust in all 30 districts of the state and prohibitory orders have been clamped in several sensitive districts," he said.
Draft food security bill may irk Sonia, states, SC
The Bill is a result of a promise in the Congress's election manifesto -- of a law guaranteeing nutritional security for all. But the draft, prepared by the food ministry headed by Sharad Pawar, runs short of how it was visualized by Sonia Gandhi.
The draft Bill proposes that the Centre will have the final word on both the number of people in each state living below the poverty line, based on planning commission estimates, and also on the quantum of foodgrains that is to be given to the vulnerable section. This quantum has been fixed in the draft at 25kg per month, against an earlier Supreme Court directive of 35kg. And on both these counts, it is likely to attract the opposition of the states.
While the states have already distributed more than 10 crore BPL cards, the Centre's estimate of BPL families is way smaller, at 6.52 crore. Even today, the Centre distributes foodgrains under the PDS in proportion to the figure the Planning Commission generates and not what states decide by survey along with the rural development ministry.
In an earlier round of discussion with the Union food ministry, many states had taken serious objection to the Centre imposing an artificial cut-off and leaving a hefty bill to the states to bear if they decide to pass on the benefits to all the poor.
But the food ministry appears to have stuck to its guns and decided not to let the control out of its hands as it would help keep the fiscal burden in check. The government also wants to maintain some flexibility on the price of subsidized foodgrain. While the Congress had said in its manifesto that the ration would be available at Rs 3/kg, the ministry is inclined not to mention an exact price so as give it the option of providing subsidized foodgrains at a higher price.
The Bill is also at odds with the Supreme Court's directive to the government to create and widen the Antyodaya Anna Yojana (AAY), which was meant to provide subsidized food to the destitute, primitive tribes, disabled and old and increase the quota for families under the existing PDS scheme to 35kg of foodgrains per month. The Bill, however, wants to wind up the AAY scheme and keep its guarantee to 25kg.
As for the discrepancy between the Centre's and the states' estimate of the poor, the food ministry wants the states to bear the cost of providing food security to numbers beyond the central estimate -- something that's unlikely to pass muster with the states.
The ministry has also decided that when it comes to guaranteeing food security through various schemes, including PDS, the buck will stop with the state government. The Centre would be responsible only for procuring foodgrains, importing and maintaining stocks and providing financial compensation if it is not able to secure the supplies to states.
The bill, unlike what the Congress president had suggested in her note, limits itself to distribution of wheat and rice and does not take a wider view of nutritional security. In fact, the ministry has decided to define food security in a manner that would exclude any judiciable right to nutrition. Critics observe that the government is keen to limit its legal guarantee to merely distribution of foodgrains as it would reduce the legal entanglements over cases of chronic starvation.
The empowered group of ministers (eGOM) has also decided, unlike what the Congress president had suggested in her note that the regular administrative officials at different levels in a district will also take over the role of appellate authorities. Sonia Gandhi had suggested that a distinct appellate system of food commissioners be appointed at state levels with powers to appoint advisors at district level as well as carry out investigations into infringement of the act.
Unlike the detailed legislation the Congress president had suggested, in order to avoid the bill getting stuck with controversies right at the beginning, the food ministry is preparing a rather bare draft, with only essential provisions. Contentious details that could slow down the UPA-II's flagship scheme will be spelt out only through schedules, rules and government notifications from time to time and not be put up for debate when the bill is shared by the food ministry for public comments.

Hundreds of Maoist sympathisers, including "intellectuals" led by noted writer Mahasweta Devi, today jostled with the police and burnt effigies of Union Home Minister P Chidambaram and West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee while a meeting to discuss strategy to combat the extremists was on in the metropolis.
Shouting anti-government slogans, the sympathizers paraded through the city streets protesting against the proposed "Operation Greenhunt" and demanded an end to "torture of innocent people in the name of combating Maoists".
Mahasweta Devi, however, left the rally soon after it began from the College square area and proceeded towards Esplanade. As the procession moved towards Esplanade, the agitators were prevented by the police from moving further. Traffic was disrupted near Dorina crossing area due to the procession, police said.
