'NO CONFIDENCE' ON POLICE !

Left Front's mass resistance call against Trinamul

As the Left Front lost its confidence on the role of police it called for a mass resistance programme in Cooch Behar district to combat the terrorism unleashed by the Trinamul Congress. They will also organise an anti-terrorism convention on 27 May at Rabindra Bhavan.

Today, the decision for holding of the anti-terrorism convention was adopted at the district Left Front meeting. District CPI-M secretary and Left Front convenor Mr Chandi Pal, state forest minister Mr Ananta Roy, Mr Akhil Pramanik, newly elected MP (Forward Bloc) Mr Nripendra Nath Roy, Mr Debashis Banik, district CPI secretary Mr Surath Chakraborty and district RSP secretariat member Mr Ranajit Deb attended the meeting that was held at the CPI-M office.

Holding the Trinamul Congress responsible for disturbing peace in the district, the LF convenor Mr Pal alleged that the Trinamul Congress unleashed a reign of terror since the panchayat elections. Soon after the Lok Sabha election it again started terrorising people. The police too failed to control the situation, he said.

As they lost their confidence on police, they had to call for a mass resistance against the terrorist designs of the Trinamul Congress, admitted the LF convenor.

After the 27 May convention similar conventions will be held at the sub-divisions. In all these conventions the Left Front leaders will ask their activists to resist and combat Trinamul attacks on people to restore peace in the district.

When asked about the 'no confidence' of the Left Front on police, Cooch Behar SP Mr DP Singh claimed that the law and order situation was normal in the district. The police took adequate measures as soon as they received complaints about violence, he added.

It may be mentioned here that soon after declaration of results of the Lok Sabha election, a number of clashes took place in the sub-divisions in this district. The post-result clashes claimed two lives so far and several persons wounded. Proclamation of Section 144 Cr PC too failed to control the situation.
