Transcending even the semi fascist terror of seventies the education environment of West Bengal is under serious threat of TMC goons. After a long and smooth democratic functioning of almost two decades, schools and colleges have been facing the semi-fascist terror from TMC-Maoist combined force. During filing nominations for students’ election in Jagabandhu College, Andul, Howrah, on 16th December, 2010 TMCP-guided outsiders and local criminals killed Comrade Swapan Kole, a second year commerce student in a series of unprecedented brutal attacks. The killing was so atrocious in nature that has quavered the conscience of mass psyche in the state.
TMCP hooligans nakedly guided by their state leaders Madan Mitra, Bobby Hakim unleashed attack on SFI workers and common students in Ashutosh College on 16th December. The incident started with a physical assault on SFI candidates and common students while they were filing nominations. They were driven outside the college premises where TMC leaders guided the whole operation. Souvik Hajra, a SFI supporter got a severe injury in his left eye. Doctors expressed little hope for any recovery of the eye.
Students of Ashutosh College on protest blockaded the Hazra crossing and organized a huge rally in the adjacent area. To shift however the media spot away from such open attacks and intimidations, TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee made a false allegation on SFI workers to have rallied toward her Kalighat residence. Party Secretary Biman Basu in a press conference on 17th December slammed Mamata for making such false allegation against common students. SFI state leadership also reiterated that they had no programme to go to TMC chief’s residence.
The carpet assault however continues when five students of St. Paul’s College, Kolkata were attacked in Salkia Howrah on 17th December. FIR has been lodged against three TMCP goons in Golabari Police Station. SFI state committee has called all students of the state schools and colleges to observe Black Day on Saturday 18th December and a general strike on 20th December.
On the other side, TMC-ally Maoists have killed 7 Forward Block workers in Jhalda block, Purulia. The brutal attack was probably in reply to a recently organized mass meeting by the district Forward Block. Left Front chairman Biman Basu condemned the assault unequivocally and urged people to identify the true ‘enemy’ of the state.
An unprecedented series of attacks on left workers specially CPI(M) leaders and workers unleashed in West Bengal that already have taken huge death toll of more than 300 martyrs of Bengal. The attacks are so planned and motivated that kill not only the party workers but hit class identities also to curb down organized movements in the state. The situation has got worsen when, in last one year or more, teachers, students, non-teaching staffs of schools, colleges have been under serious threat of lives. More than 10 teachers have been killed only in Jangal Mahol last year.
On 4th September Maoists in Salboni, West Midnapore, dragged Headmaster Dibakar Mahato out of the school and killed in front of the students. He was teaching mathematics to class-III students. Rabindranath Mahato was killed by Maoists as he motivated his students not to rally with Maoist organization PCPA. Subimal Mahato of Ranga High School, Purulia, was also brutally killed by Maoists.
