from Raman Singh's interview about Binayak Sen
Shekhar Gupta: Are you convinced that the case against Binayak Sen was genuine? There is an immense interest in the case—among NGOs, even foreign governments. Is there any missionary angle involved here? How crucial is this connection?
Two things are clear in his case. As a doctor, no one knew Sen in Chhattisgarh. He did move around in forests with a stethoscope. I provide treatment to 2 lakh children, replace their valves free of cost.
Second, during the last two years, no one from Chhattisgarh has led a protest in any town, village or city. These protesters came from outside—they would come in aeroplanes, wearing good clothes and perfume. No one recognised that these well-dressed people were coming from France and London.
The Chhattisgarh government may have arrested a big personality (Sen), but I would ask people why didn’t any of these NGOs visit the state when over 2,000 people were killed (in Naxal attacks)? How can these double standards continue? A person is in jail and the entire world comes to Chhattisgarh and sheds tears, but there is not a single word against those who carry on this violence.
(Sen) has links with NGOs that work in Chhattisgarh. His close links with missionaries are well known.
but commie birathers of marxist caste would be crying now mourning the sad loss of another comrade from their murderous ideology
