Marichjhapi Incident!
Dear Sir,
Thank you for exhuming Marichjhapi episode which was no doubt an inhuman and ghastly incident that took place long way back. I can’t but appreciate your perfect sense of timing to bring the issue back to life. In the political scenario when Civic polls are only a few days away and Congress and Trinomool are engaged in blame game over seat-sharing fiasco that might concede political advantage to the Left in polls, your heart, all on a sudden, starts bleeding for those ill-fated victims at Marichjhapi and you revisit the episode to rekindle the memory of those who’ve forgotten the incident and enlighten those, particularly the younger generation, most of whom happen to have no knowledge about it. I do believe you’ve no intention to show a particular party, which some detractors say is not in your good book for reasons best known to you, deliberately in poor light just before elections to give electoral advantage to other parties in the fray .Perhaps, you’ve resurrected the Marichjhapi incident now in the memory of those who suffered inhumanly and exemplify what honest and unbiased journalism is!
