Kolkata, September 26; GANASHAKTI: It became a show of strength by the Sanghi’s as the Bandh call by the BJP became a terrible as working class people from Transport workers to Mill workers went to join in the work, and many even under strain helped to flop the bandh call.
There were sporadic violence however that could not deter people from venturing out. In Pandua BJP workers bombed a school in frustration as the school was running despite the Bandh call.
In Kolkata the traffic flow in the EM bypass was 70 to 80% normal, while packed trains were stalled courtesy a lack lustre administration and Railway police. However the Bandh call could not deter the Adhikar Yatras and Durgapur industrial belt was today bustling with a huge Adhikar yatra which was flambouyant with determination of the working class.
The Asansol belt however was terror struck keeping in mind the last years riot however Shops schools and colleges and state Secretraiat functioned normally with over 95% attendance. It was the Kolkata high court too which played a spoilsport as they too called called on the Government to stem the Sanghis’ violence.
However Vidyasagars Birthday celebrations continued in many places as Adhikar Yatras and Vidyasagar Birthday observation portrayed the penchant of the working class to guard the Values of society even if they are severe threat from the miscreants.
CPI(M) Leader and Party CC member Rabin Deb in a prèss conference at Muzaffar Ahamad bHawan sharply pointed that how can a Bandh call was called by the BJP which through out the country has been accused of beating up students can call a Bandh call? Be it JNU, Hyderabad university everywhere they are beating up students, and how can the students community have any affinity for the call of the Bandh against two students killed in Islampur?
