Jalianwala Bagh Revisited.

14th March 2007: The massacre of Jalianwala bagh revisted the land of Bengal, where in a small village of the State of West Bengal, Nandigram, allowed the notion, "history repeats itself" come true. With a huge company of police brigade, incessent bullets were rained on the poor villagers because they protested against the atrocities of the Bengal Government. The Government needs land to set up a Chemical Hub which promises to provide jobs to many, but also promises to demolish the environment with its huge fumes of toxic chemicals! After Singur where thegovernment was some what successful in making the villagers learn the importance and advantages of teh Tata Motors factory, in Nandigram, Midnapore, the villages refused to see the government's point!

The most ironic part is that, even after giving assurance that land will not be taken by force and taht is the villagers refused to give their consent the Hub plan would be shifted from teh zone! But today morning, the state machinery penetrated the village and literally killed the villagers who protested! They beat the women and as many as over hundred dead have been recorded!

In this post independent era, The largest democracy has to see such an incident is really very unfortunate!

The Chief Minsister, Mr. Buddhadeb Bhattacharya!

The Authority says that they have fired because the vilalgers started shooting with missiles of small stones and rocks! If it is so, then which part of the constituition empowers them to shoot the villagers, aged men to young children, not even sparing the women to shoot at their chest or head? Being a non police man or a non army agent, I, as a citizen know that one can fire in their legs at the maximal scenario! Why was it not done? Why is there so much death? Why is the cause to live, a Right empowered by the constituition of India to its citizen not respected? Does the Right to Live varies with status? Its so unfortunate to point out, but some how some where the voice has to be raised! Who is responsible?

Why isnt the opposition leader or the press people being allowed in the Scenario? This violates even the International Law by the United nation where it clearly points out that the Press wont be harmed in a War!!!

Mamata Banerjee the leader of the opposition faced resistance while going to the affected spot! The British were better! Atleast they allowed Gandhiji to go there (Jalianwala)!

Time has come to take some evasive action.... It is time to show the power of your fingers. Its time to reckon what should be done or not!
