Senseless Killing!

The arrest of Chhatradhar Mahato and others under UAPA,whose connections with the Maoists are allegedly not yet conclusively established, has triggered mixed reactions .A small section of intellectuals, who went to Lalgarh prior to Mahato’s arrest to extend their support to PCPA movement, which they claim to be a mass upsurge against state’s prolonged injustice and neglect to the tribal there , find nothing wrong in their act. On the other hand, administration looks upon it as a cognizable offence as they think PCPA is connected with the Maoists’ outfit, a banned organization.TMC’s taken sides with the intellectuals and threatened administration of dire consequences if it tries to lay hands on them. The state’s rights activists too are vociferous against such arrests. However, amidst the cross currents of opinions murders continue unabated! No sensible person can support this ugly politics of murder and people in general demand those responsible for perpetrating such heinous crimes and pampering them in some way or other be brought to book!
