Appeal to stop police action in Lalgarh
We are deeply concerned with the police action in Lalgarh by the government of west Bengal led by CPM and the central government led by the congress party. The people of Lalgarh have been demanding drinking water, schools, hospitals, land and jobs. They have been opposing police atrocities, torture and killings in Jangalmahal. Under the leadership of Peoples Committee against Police atrocities, the Adivasis of Lalgarh organized a democratic mass movement and have been demanding justice and development in their communities.
Rather than meeting the legitimate demands of the masses, the state government led by CPM and the centre led by congress have deployed thousands of armed police, CRPF combatants, cobra death squads and encircled Lalgarh. These armed forces have attacked tribal villages, destroyed homes, spoiled food grains, molested women and engaged in brutal rapes. Under the pretext of fighting Maoists, police are harassing tribals. Central and state police forces occupied 14 schools buildings in Lalgarh and deprived education to 20,000 students. Thousands of people are forced to leave their homes due to the police raids and their brutality. Treating this as a law and order issue and banning Communist Party of India (Maoist) does not solve the problem.
We appeal to the CPM and congress governments to stop the police action in Lalgarh immediately. We appeal to all concerned citizens, students and press corps to express their solidarity with the people of Lalgarh and support their legitimate demands.
