There might be something to learn from the Chinese and the Russians when dealing with scums like these. I hope they give the policemen in the area more training and facilities after this.

May God give him and other such geriatric mass murderers in the Stalinist camp a long life. Nothing is more torture for them than watching their favorite ideology being flushed down the toilet bowl and turned into a capitalist casino by their own paymasters abroad. They have seen their dreams collapse and are still re-selling the same flushed out material increasingly convinced that it does not work and yet not willing to admit it.Avinash R wrote:Kanu Sanyal on his death bed

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: A group of sanyasis met Governor R.L. Bhatia here on Tuesday and urged him to direct the government to take action against the attack on ashrams in different parts of the State.
Swami Gangesananda (Vidyadhiraja Ashram, Panmana, Kollam), Swami Bodhi Theertha (Sivagiri Madhom), Swami Brahmapadananda Saraswati (Sree Ramadasa Ashram, Chengottukonam), Garudadwajananda (Theerthapada Ashram, Vazhoor) and Swami Abhayananda Theerthapadar (Kodakarachira, Kottayam) submitted a memorandum to the Governor in this regard. There are attempts to defame members of a particular religion, they said adding the government is trying to protect those taking the law into their own hands.
The statement of Home Minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan that no sanyasi would escape, Dewaswom Minister G. Sudhakaran’s remark on the character of sanyasis and Law Minister M. Vijayakumar’s statement that a law would be enacted to control ashrams have given leverage to certain youth organisations to take the law into their own hands. No action has been taken against those who attacked ashrams. All ashrams in the State are being monitored by the police.
A sanyasi of the traditional ashram of Chattambi Swamigal was interrogated by the police. Such moves have cast aspersions on those who lead an ascetic life. There is a conspiracy to malign the Amritanandamayi Madhom which has been rendering social service.
The Governor should examine such instances and direct the government to take action against those targeting the ashrams, they said.
Mr. Bhatia said he would take up the issue with the Ministers concerned, the sanyasis said.
A few comments on similar lines -As an Indian who grew up in West Bengal during Jyoti Basu's rule, I grew to intensly dislike his style of political functioning which led to a massive flight of industry from the state, which at one point of time, was one of the most industrialised in India.
I've also seen so many friends and relatives migrating out of the State in search of jobs, both within India and outside - simply because there is not enough decent jobs available. And not all go for great well paying jobs, sometimes is just very ordinary ones which should have been available in West Bengal.
So much so that there are entire localities which have been reduced to housing old people, who's children reside outside the state, and folks who couldn't make it in life. It's happened to the area I grew up in - I feel so depressed when I go back there.
However, I'd give credit where it's due. Jyoti Babu never once gave the impression that he was batting for anyone else other than India of his vision. Maybe a flawed vision but one that was 100 per cent Indian.
Prakash Karat's anticts, not only in this Nuclear deal but things like joining a Shia rally - to give it political legitimacy - when George Bush came to India, have in one short span, as Nitish babu has pointed out, destroyed all the "good work" done by Jyoti Basu and Surjeet.
I still think there are many pragmatic elements with the CPI(M), Buddhadev Bhattacharya being one of them. And if this goes to elections and if the Left does badly - as is being widely anitcipated - there will be plenty of churning within the CPI(M), IMO. And if the pragmatists (some chai walas tell me Sitaram Yeuchury is actually with this group) do manage to get Karat and his wife Brinda sidelined, maybe that would be a good thing for India.
JMT and sorry for the long ramble.

It is a Communist commentary of false future!
There is no basis for such statement. If that were the case then pretty much most of the India would be Naxalite. But that is not the case. What is interesting is that the same line of excuse is given by Islamists in support of Islamic terror attacks.but there is no denying the fact either that the depraved conditions of these masses make them ideal hunting ground for the naxals.
The West Bengal government is not considering banning Maoists. It will tackle them politically, administratively and by implementing socio-economic development programmes in areas where they are trying to establish a presence, Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee said on Thursday. “We have no intention of banning them; we want to isolate them politically,” he told the Assembly.
Kati you hit the nail on its head. For one I have seen a lot of Bharat and have grown up in Bharat rather then "India".. So lets have a healthy debate on the same offline.Kati wrote:You have no clue how Bharat functions. It's not a chick-flick hindi film where you can round-up thousands of people just by barking an order. A few things:
1. If you spend some time in deep rural areas in Bharat then you'll see how porest of the poor are exploited. No I'm not talking in the commie lingo, and I have no love for them. But I happen to grow up in those areas, and surprisingly the exploiters of the poor masses are the oilers of 'secular' congress/SP/BSP or hindutva BJP.
2. If you think that IB can be let loose on keralite or bengali middle-class ("chacha' in your terms), then these two states can also let the state CIDs loose on local businessmen who'll make ph calls to delhi to stop the 'nonsense'.
3. Have seen naxalite activities very closely since late sixties since some close familymembers/friends were involved. The way to stop all the naxalite menace is very simple
- have little patience (say about five years) and have local level very honest babus (who are indeed in short supply) to make sure that every rupee meant for development (water, irrigation, land distribution, health and education) is spent properly. I have been to western part of West bengal and southern part of Bihar (now in Jharkhand) for quite some time; 90 paise of each rupee was/is siphoned off by the crooks. If you can stop that, especially in tribal belts, then you won't need greyhounds or other laughable means to stop maoists. maoists are like skin disease parasites - they will thrive only when the body is weak. Do some yoga and tone up the muscles - all these diseases will be gone.
It comes as true joy to me – and I suspect all Indians who love their country – that our Left parties have finally shed their political cowardice, and relieved the UPA government of their uninspiring, obtuse, regressive and deeply duplicitous presence. I for one truly hope, for the sake of our country, that the Left parties have had their first and final taste of political power at the Centre – and are ejected by their scruffs when the General Elections come. India has seen audacious and deeply vindictive dispensations, but never once has it seen a political collective so wilfully hypocritical, so hopelessly outdated in its world view, and so untrusting of the fabric of Indian foreign policy, as that motley bunch we call the Left....
....An Army major with the Korea Brigade at Tawang (Arunachal Pradesh) in 2006 said to me, “If the Chinese invade India, I think our Karats and Yechuries would be the happiest. They will just take a plane, land in Beijing and take new citizenship. They do not care one bit about this country, only about their so-called ideology.”
The Commies can shroud themselves in sanctimonious, smug rhetoric – the kind that says, we know what’s good, and you’re all villains – will hopefully die now, and be but a stain on India’s parliamentary history. I’ve spent a week in Nandigram, and have seen the carnage, rhetoric and insincerity straight-up. No disguises. I hope today begins the process of purging of the red. For our country's sake.
Tirthahalli : In a prize catch, the police arrested a naxal and seized huge arms and ammunition at Durvasapura village in Shimoga district on Tuesday.
IGP East Range Satyanarayana Rao told reporters that Krishna (28), resident of Koranakote village of Hosanagar taluk, had joined naxal squad two years ago and was part of the Maoist group which had torched a KSRTC bus at Gubbiga-Tallurangadi near Agumbe last year. The arrested was an active member of Tunga and Bhadra squads of the naxals.
Based on the information, police seized huge cache of arms and ammunition which was dumped in forest near Potlur of Belthangady taluk and Tingalamakki of Karkala taluk. The seizure included 2,076 rounds of ammunition, 113 detonators, five explosives, four used cartridges, 2 .303 rifle butts, and a .303 rifle, grenade, walkie talkie, camera flash, printer, polythene tents, pamphlets and books. He told the police at least 30 naxals are active in Tirthahalli region.
RETIRED MILITARY MEN TO TRAIN COPSBangalore : Home Minister V S Acharya on Wednesday announced in the Council that the government proposed to set up a special police training institute at Kudremukh to combat the naxal menace in the Malnad region.
Intervening in the discussion on budget proposals, Dr Acharya said already one round of discussion had been held with the officials in this regard. “The government proposes to set up the Institute to give a proper protection to the people in the districts of Chikmagalur, Dakshina Kannada, Udupi, Kodagu and parts of Mysore,” he said.
Bangalore : The state government is contemplating to utilise the services of retired military personnel to train police and youth to combat terrorism.
Replying to the budget discussions in the Legislative Assembly, Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa said there was an urgent need to strengthen the police department in the wake of increasing threat from terrorists.
He said the recent blasts in Bangalore had sent shock waves across the world. Modern gadgets, weapons and vehicles will be provided to the police department and an additional grant of Rs 25 crore had been sanctioned for this purpose, he said.
I think this kind of tongue-in-cheek comment is uncalled for and is in extremely bad taste. Even if in case of political difference, rejoicing at the death of a person who incidentally was a follower of Bhagat Singh and a veteran freedom fighter only indicates the bankruptcy of thoughts. We are still living in a democracy where some minimum respects need to paid to political opponents.Suppiah wrote:Good news and bad news.

Bhagat singh gave his life for the indians while surjeet and his communist party killed indians in the nandigram genocide. There can be no sympathy for a hitler's clone atleast on this forum. it is another matter that nazi and commie forum like saja will be mourning his death.Amitayus wrote:I think this kind of tongue-in-cheek comment is uncalled for and is in extremely bad taste.

Nandigram, Aug 12: Seventeen persons were injured, some critically, as fresh trouble flared up in the villages of embattled Nandigram this morning.
Police said the injured included 15 Trinamool Congress activists, all of whom were rushed to a primary health clinic at Jonka.
The condition of persons having gunshot wounds, was stated to be serious.
Seven persons were injured in an armed clash in the area last night.
Meanwhile, Bhumi Ucched Pratirodh Committee (BUPC) held a protest demonstration in front of Nandigram police station and demanded that the police immediately seize firearms from CPI(M) cadre in the trouble-torn areas.
The BUPC also demanded that the police should play an impartial role in Nandigram and should withdraw all "false" cases lodged against BUPC leaders for the murder of CPI(M) leader Niranjan Mondal on August 8.
