28th November, 2008 – South Bengal bandh

Imagine calling for a bandh in Maosit infested place and then talking peace. Bandh is the origin of all violence and peace cannot be sprouted from hartal or bandh. Once upon a time Gandhi used it against British and he used this tool successfully. But that was because the British were decent and mannered while Indians are not. British never harmed any Indian during the bandhs or other protests because they knew the protest was for freedom. What are the hartals and bandhs today for? Well, that was some lecture which is a waste. The matter of fact is that Aditya Kisku, the chief of Jharkhand Party (Aditya) declared a 48-hour bandh in three Maoist-infested districts of south Bengal today and tomorrow and then claiming he doesn’t want to choose the path of violence. The tribal cadres have already started blockades in several new locations since 21 November.
