Who is the worst Indian politician till date and why?
This man was not just destroyer of West Bengal but entire eastern India with a destructive communist ideology.
On April 30, 1982 morning, Calcutta (now Kolkata) had just woken up and many came out with a shopping bag in hand for their daily routine shopping. They were not aware a huge bunch of communist goons were sitting in ambush at the Bijan Setu-Bundle gate from 7 to 8 in the morning. The communist goons conducted a swift massacre in the heart of south Calcutta, a metro city, in just an hour's operation which 17-18 Hindu monks and nuns (yes female monk included) were killed. What was their fault? They were Hindu religious people or sadhus who are considered to be ‘class enemy’ of communists as many communist leaders have said – ‘religion is opium of the masses’. The sadhus were strongly disliked by communists in Bengal.
Before the sadhus knew what is happening, they were dragged out of the taxi one by one on their way to Tiljala Ashram, smashed on the head with a shovel, their eyes gouged out with knives, petrol and acid poured on their bodies and burned alive. Many were gravely injured. Eyewitnesses who saw the event, of course, shocked. So is the rest of India. This massacre is known as Ananda Marga or Bijan setu massacre.
There are rare instances of such a large-scale planned brutal genocide in India. Maoists and naxalies are still doing in remote jungles but in metro city, this was unbelievable and cannot happen without communist government support. To date, no one has been convicted of the murder, the Judicial Commission has either not given a report or the report has been suppressed. Mamata Banerjee formed an enquiry commission after coming to power in 2011 under the leadership of Justice Lala but the report is pending.
Ananda Marga sadhus could have been killed by firing or bombing in a very simple way if they wanted, but the main goal of the left government was to create an atmosphere of terror. That's why the work of making a blueprint to burn 16 Ananda Margis alive started. It is alleged that Kanti Ganguly and Rabin Dev implemented the final plan to wipe out the Ananda Margis in the state from February 8, 1982. The CPM leaders went down to form public opinion against the Ananda Margis. Processions and moholla meetings started in many parts of the city which desperately tried to prove the Ananda Margis are kidnapper and child lifters. On February 8, 1982, a convention was called at Picnic Park where the Left leaders present at the convention gave inflammatory speeches against the Ananda Margis.Satyasadhan Chakraborty, Kanti Ganguly (then Commissioner, Jadavpur Municipality and former Minister), Sujan Chakraborty, Santosh Mitra, Khudiram Bhattacharya, Gangadhar Naskar, Rabin Dev, Bijan Bihari Purkayastha, Professor Nirmalya Bagchi, Professor Abhantya Chatterjee (Playwright), Ashutosh Sen (Advocate), Poet Arun Mitra, Badal Dasgupta, Sunil Chakraborty (Chairman Jadavpur Municipality), Biren Ghosh (Vice Chairman, Jadavpur Municipality) Prashant Dasgupta (Commissioner Jadavpur Municipality), Pranab Sen (Commissioner) Professor Ravi Roy was present at the convention that day. In Bengal these people are called revolutionary people and ‘intellectual bhadralok’ or ‘buddhijivi’ as many of them are highly educated and influential in society.
Just a day before the incident, a closed-door meeting was held on April 29 under the patronage of Kanti Ganguly. It was at that meeting that the plan for the extermination of the Ananda Margis was made. Following the schedule, processions started again and again against the Ananda Margis in the area. It is planned that the CPM's 'Harmad' force (Google to know more about it) will be divided into three parts and will wait for the Ananda Margis in three places. They will be waiting for the passengers at Bijan Bridge, Ballygunge Railway Station and Ballygunge Railway track.Whenever Ananda Margis go to Tiljala Ashram, they will be beaten and burnt to death. That's why the three teams already had a lot of fuel in stock.
On the morning of April 30, 1982, as the monks approached the Bijan Bridge, a group of CPM leaders and activists surrounded them and attacked them with sticks and rods. The monks, who were virtually trapped in their car, kept begging the CPM goons for mercy.One of the survived victims, a monk, later said: "Before the end of the Bijan Bridge, several young men were seen blocking the road. I was in the first taxi. They were not moving despite the horn. The whole crowd shouted was shouting at us. They jumped on the taxis. We lifted the glasses. But they were banging on the glass. And there was a flood of verbal abuse. They hadn't seen any weapon in their hands for so long initially but shovels and sticks had arrived. They are falling on the taxis mercylessly.
"Taxi drivers were also caught in the crossfire. One of them said, ‘They surrounded me from four sides. He broke the lock of the taxi with a shovel. Trying to open the door, they talked filthy dirty words. Suddenly I saw the crowd dancing to the words of one of the leaders shouting and asking us to get out of the taxi. They threatened if we don’t come out of taxi, they will set the taxis on fire.We all came down in fear. This time he said, to stand side by side. That's what I did. Many came forward from the crowd with big plastic drums in their hands. I understood from their conversation that the drums contained acid and petrol. 'An old monk said,' The whole thing has already been worked out. I realized that a few people gathering around us saying these people were kidnapper or child lifter.Some pedestrians, some locals, shopkeepers came forward. Some questioned what evidence is there that Ananda Margis are child lifters?
They asked - Who are you to say that they are child lifter? And no one's children have been stolen here! Some people came forward and said, if they are child lifters, handover them to the police, who gave you the right to kill in this way? But who cares? Communist revolution around the world is brutal. The CPM cadres who had gathered at far-off areas also joined and lynching started. The CPM comrades finally poured petrol on the unconscious but alive Anand Margis one by one and set them on fire. The group of ‘Harmads’ later dumped the bodies of half-burnt monks one after another on the railway line near Ballgunge station.An elderly shopkeeper said, ‘I realized that it was a plan when they came with drums and sticks. Not a spontaneous protest against kidnapping.
This is one of the most heinous genocide that shame Bengal province of India but has, as usual, our intellectual leftist leaning libr@ndus forgotten the incident. Bengal is still predominantly leftist and many will say no such massacre happened! Few years later, Tiananmen massacre happened in 1989 in heart of Beijing and whole world saw pictures and videos of Chinese PLA tanks brutally supressing the voice of students. India’s shameless communists from Bengal within Communist Party of India (Marxist) was the only political party in the world to pass a resolution hailing the massacre, calling them 'an imperialist attempt to internally subvert socialism, which was successfully thwarted by the CPC and the PLA. CPI(M) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury proclaimed in 1989 in a speech at JNU that “Not a drop of blood was shed at Tiananmen Square (see Wiki). Internationally accepted figure of Tiananmen massacre is more than 10000.
But libr@ndu media always highlight lynching in non-communist states and ignore lynching in Bengal, Kerala and naxalite area actually, party politics is a very deadly thing which can create riots and massacres for political reasons.
Two recent incidents which became national and international news were – Godhra train burning massacre and Palghar Maharashtra sadhus lynching for suspecting them as child lifters. But Palghar incident is much smaller in nature and it happened in relatively rural tribal area, not in metro city. In Palghar case also, nearly 100 accused were granted bail. The recent massacre in Kashmir after checking their ID cards and Lakhimpur Kheri in UP proved naxalite sympathizer media will always highlight certain cases which suits them and ignore certain cases.
Most Bengali newspapers that time written that there must be ruling party has a hand in the Bijan Setu incident. When media asked CM Jyoti Basu's on this incident same day, he said, "I am preparing for May Day event. I don't listen to rumours. ' Few days later when it was clear that CPM cannot hide the massacre, CM Jyoti Basu said, ‘What can be done? Such things do happen’. This statement was similar to congress technocrat turned politician Sam Petroda’s statement on 1984 Delhi anti-Sikh riot, ‘hua toh hua’.Some other massacres under Jyoti Basu are 21st July massacre', 'Marichjhapi massacre', Ashok Kumar night massacre, Nanoor massacre,Sainbari killings. Remember Bollywood filmstar’s dialog, ‘itni badi desh mein choti choti baaten hoti rahti hai’ (translation: small small things do happen in a big country)!
Jyoti Basu is the real Aurangzeb of India who not just destroyed economy, education system, industry, employment scenario of west Bengal but actually destroyed entire eastern India and promoted mob lynching for political gain by creating fear.
