West Bengal Left Front Organizes Mass Civil Disobedience


Left Front of West bengal has organised Mass civil disobedience, protesting against spiralling price hike and food inflation, unprecedented corruption and unleashing violence against left workers and common people of the state of West Bengal. It is now being observed across districts. The State Left Front Committee would organize a central disobedience programme on 28th of this month. From 9th of this month continuous mass campaign was held in almost every para, mahalla, village, sub-division and districts that became a full-blown effort on the consecutive disobedience programme from 21st to 25th of this month in all districts.

The mass civil obedience programmes raise voice against the double folded crisis: unprecedented price hike along with food inflation and volatility of growth market on the one side and deliberate political violence against the left workers and common people in the state of West Bengal on the other have been leading the situation toward absolute anarchy. Already 45 left workers and innocent people have been killed in the state. Left parties are being denied to organize meetings and conferences in different localities and areas. Farmers are constantly being evicted from their lands and share-croppers are denied their Burga and Putta rights in many villages. Industrial workers and labourers are not even spared. Severe retrenchment along with the ousting of regular workers in factories like Kanoria Jute Mill and many other places has become a regular event where local TMC goons along with promoters are recruiting TMC people replacing even skilled and experienced workers.

Left front in this series of civil disobedience movements has already placed five point demands:

(i) Curbing down the price rise;

(ii) Immediate withdrawal of education ordinance;

(iii) Regulating fertilizer prices and incentive measure to give farmers enough relief;

(iv) Stop FDI in retail market;

(v) Stop political violence against left party workers;
