'Greater' leader Bangshi Badan Barman may come out from jail
Following state government's intension to release political prisoners the inmates of Greater Cooch Behar movement in Cooch Behar that are behind the bars are expecting a free life again. Now, there are forty-three 'Greater' activists who were extended with political prisoner status. Those under-trial persons are suffering in the correctional home. Among the undertrial prisoners there is Mr Bangshi Badan Barman too, who was the chief of 'Greater Cooch Behar' movement. He had to surrender following the violence that claimed five lives on 20 September 2005 during a massive movement.
On Friday, Mr Barman expressed his pleasure to the members of his closer circle. He thanked state chief minister Ms Mamata Banerjee for her initiative to release the political prisoners and said 'at last I am going to come out from the jail'.
A wind of happiness is also blowing over the residences of the 'Greater' activists. At Putimari area near Prantik Bazar in Dinhata Mr Barman's aged mother, Mrs Jayamati Barman turned happy when she learnt of the probability of release of his son. Expressing her joy she said she wants her son to come back to look after the family. At the same time she said that she want him to work for the cause of the country too. Mr Barman's elder brother Mr Madhusudan Barman is also happy to learn that his brother may come home again.
The lawyer of the 'Greater' undertrials, Mr Shibendra Nath Ray said at last the justice turned victorious. The persons are suffering for a few years inside the correctional home. Now, they are going to breath under the open sky, he said.
GCPA's hunger strike steps on fifth day
The Greater Cooch Behar People's Association (GCPA) supporters that are on an indefinite fast are continuing their agitation in Cooch Behar. Their agitation stepped on in fifth day of Friday.
The activists of the GCPA were on fast at Raas Mela Maidan and adjacent roads in Cooch Behar town since Monday demanding formation of a separate state, proper implementation of the merger agreement by which Cooch Behar was included in India and formation of a caretaker cabinet of ministers for Cooch Behar.
On Wednesday the district administration shifted them at a place adjacent to the historic Cooch Behar Palace complex. As the strikers were staying on the streets in the town the district administration came under pressure from different quarters and so they had to shift the agitators to restore normalcy in the town.
District magistrate of Cooch Behar, Ms Smaraki Mahapatra said they are keeping a constant watch on the situation. During dialogues the agitators told the authorities that they would talk with their central leadership over lifting of the hunger strike. A medical team is kept ready to extend medical care to the ailing strikers. Four persons were shifted to the hospital on Thursday and Friday. Police are also deployed there to maintain peace. The agitators co-operated with the administration during shifting of them from the streets of the town, the DM added.
A GCPA leader however said that they would continue their hunger strike till fulfilment of their demands.
