Left Front will Carry On Movements on Peoples' Issues : Biman Bose


Left Front has called for State-wide Civil Disobedience movement against the Price Hike, Corruption, and Curtailment of democratic rights, State-wide terror by TMC and in defence of Democracy. After Districts and Sub divisional level, Left Front will centrally conduct Civil disobedience on 28th November. Biman Basu, The Secretary, CPI(M) West Bengal State Committee and the Chairman of Left Front Committee West Bengal has talked to the party website before this programme.

Question: Why the Left Front is going for Civil Disobedience on 28th November?

Biman Basu: CPI(M) independently and state Left Front unitedly adopted a series of mass programme since new Government led by TMC has resorted to attack on different political parties and mass organisations including trade unions. In many parts of the state, TMC workers along with the hoodlums have attacked the party offices, mainly the CPI(M) offices. They killed 45 valuable leaders and activists of CPI(M) and other Left Parties. They have also forcefully occupied 77 democratically elected students union offices. Our Leader of Opposition has drawn the attention of the Government in number of occasions. Left Front has also drawn the attention through submitting memorandum to the Governor of West Bengal and the Prime Minister. Our Party has independently observed month long solidarity campaign in different state capitals and cities at the call of the Party's Central Committee. They have also collected funds for the terror victims of West Bengal. Left Front conducted the campaign in West Bengal. The campaign was conducted From 1st to 6th November. Trade Unions observed a successful 'Jail Bharo' on 8th November. Thereafter the campaign programmes have been continued at village level in District and at ward level in cities against high prices, corruption, curtailment of democratic rights and terror tactics of TMC and also in the defence of democracy from 11th to 20th November. Left Kishan organisations have also drawn a joint programme of campaign on the said issues and called for Civil Disobedience. The State Left Front has declared that the Civil Disobedience shall be conducted at subdivisional and District level from 21st to 25th November. The campaign and movement has successfully mobilised thousands and peoples' issues have come in the forefront. Left Front has decided centrally to observe civil disobedience on 28th November in Kolkata.

Question: What will be the next phase of campaign after the completion of the Civil Disobedience Movement on 28th November?

Biman Basu: We will take stock of the campaign movement of November and plan the further programme. It will do after 28th November. TMC led Government is moving to curtail the democratic rights of the three tiers elected Panchayat functionaries. The Government is also trying to create anarchy in the field of education by issuing Ordinance for Universities and certain other decisions related to the management of different educational boards or councils. Therefore in the month of December, we are to pin point the demands, which are linked to the day-to-day life of the common people and announce the programmes in an appropriate manner.
