Investigate New Revelations on Purulia Arms Drop

http://ganashakti.com/news-storage/news-details/article/investigate-new-revelations-on-purulia-arms-drop.html

Investigate New Revelations on Purulia Arms Drop

New Delhi, April 29: The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the following statement:

The Purulia arms drop in December 1995 was one of the most serious instances of an assault on the country's sovereignty. The investigations and the court trial had proved that the arms were meant for the Ananda Marg which was planning to use it to foment violence to destabilize the Left Front government. 

The revelations by Niels Christian Nielsen alias Kim Davy, who is still absconding and Peter Bleach who was sentenced in the case, have raised new questions.

In the aftermath of the Purulia arms drop it was known that the British intelligence agency MI5 had informed RAW about the proposed airdrop in late November 1995. The then British Home Secretary had confirmed this in a press conference in Delhi on January 5, 1996. The RAW had alerted the Home Ministry and other authorities. Yet, the West Bengal Government was sent this information by registered post which reached after the arms drop. 


•        It was reported that the radar at the Kalaikunda air base was not operational at the time of the air drop. 

•        How was it that on the return trip from Phuket in Thailand  the plane could land in Chennai and take off even when there was an alert on the aircraft.
•        For more than a decade Kim Davy has been living in Denmark and the Central Government has been tardy in getting him extradited. 

Kim Davy has given specific details of how he had escaped from the Mumbai airport and reached Nepal. He has named Pappu Yadav, who was then an MP, as the person who assisted him. It should be noted that the same Pappu Yadav is in jail serving a life sentence for the murder of CPI(M) MLA Ajit Sarkar.

Both Bleach and Kim Davy have made charges of connivance by certain Indian authorities in the airdrop plan and the cover up later. 

All this information necessitates looking at the Purulia airdrop in a fresh light.

The existence of the Left Front Government in West Bengal has been anathema for many domestic and international forces. At present too, the spectre of violence is being used to destabilize the Left Front Government. Even the Union Home Minister recently talked of the "killing fields" in West Bengal and blamed the CPI(M) for it. On the other hand, the Maoist violence is being aided and supported by the Trinamul Congress which is part of the Congress-led government at the Centre. 

It is essential therefore to thoroughly investigate the Purulia arms drop affair. For this the following steps have to be taken:

(i) Pappu Yadav should be interrogated and the trail by which Kim Davy escaped from the country should e uncovered and the persons responsible brought to book.
(ii) There has to be a judicial enquiry by a sitting judge of the Supreme Court into the circumstances of the arms drop in Purulia and to uncover the network responsible.

Karat demands judicial probe into arms drop developments.

The CPI(M) general secretary Prakash Karat has demanded a judicial inquiry by a sitting Supreme Court judge into the Purulia arms drop case which has taken a new turn following the recent confession of Kim Davy who dropped the weapons and claimed that he received help from a political as well as administrative circle in India to conduct his operation aiming at destabilizing the Left Front government in power in 1995 and getting President's Rule imposed in West Bengal. He said earlier they had information that weapons dropped for a group called Anada Margis who have their headquarters in Purulia. The fresh disclosure of Davy who travelled in the aircraft carrying huge quantity of arms an ammunition and dropped in Purulia required a thorough probe and the people of India had a right to know the truth, Karat said.
The CPI(M) top leader was surprised to know that despite prior information supplied by the British intelligence there was no attempt on the part of the appropriate authority in the country to counter such a heinous crime to perpetrate. That the British intelligence agency supplied prior information had been confirmed by Peter Bleach, an accomplice of Davy who was arrested. Kim, however, managed to escape from India. Davy gave details about how he escaped arrest and left for Nepal by land route with the help of one MP Pappu Yadav. Pappu Yadav, Karat said, should be interrogated.
The CPM(I)  general secretary pointed out that there were   reasons  to believe that a deep rooted conspiracy was hatched  against the Left Front government headed by Jyoti Basu at the time of arms drop as a letter of warning from the Centre reached him seven days after the incident.
Giving his reaction to the impasse in the functioning of the Public Accounts Committee Karat told media persons that the Congress and the DMK were responsible for such a situation.

Buddhadeb demands judicial inquiry

West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee on Friday demanded a judicial inquiry by the Centre into the "political conspiracy" behind the arms drop from a foreign plane in Purulia 16 years ago. 
"A political conspiracy has been exposed in the media behind the arms drop 16 years ago. And in this context and in the interest of internal security and the gravity of the incident therein, I demand a judicial probe," the chief minister said in a statement here. 
Recalling the dropping of a huge cache of arms from a plane "meant for the Anandmargis" in Purulia at midnight on December 17, 1995, the Chief Minister said, "An alert message from the Union home ministry reached the state home department a few days after the incident. 
"The Central alert of December 12 was dispatched to Kolkata from Delhi by ordinary mail in a very casual manner. No advance wireless message was sent to the state on an urgent basis considering the gravity of the situation. The mail reached after the arms drop in Purulia." 
Mr. Bhattacharjee, who holds home (police) portfolio, said the state government handed over responsibility of the inquiry to the CBI considering the gravity of the incident. 
"All seized sophisticated arms were handed over to the CBI by the state police. All the seized arms since the days of inquiry were in the custody of the CBI," he added.

LF to highlight arms drop case at poll campaign

The Left Front has initiated a Statewide programme organising rallies and processions to highlight the conspiracy hatched allegedly by national and international reactionary forces against its government in West Bengal in 1995. The Front chairman Biman Basu said from the confession of Kim Davy it was known that Kim allegedly got help from a powerful circle in the then Congress government at the Centre to drop huge quantity of arms and ammunition in West Bengal's Purulia with sole objective of destabilizing the Left Front government in West Bengal and imposing President's Rule.Demanding an immediate  judicial inquiry into the Purulia arms-drop case Basu said the Front units at all levels had been asked to project the conspiracy angle of the arms- drop case as the main plank of their campaign in the remaining three phases of Assembly elections. He said concerted attempts were still being made by internal and foreign forces to dislodge the Left Front government in West Bengal.
