Discourteous and dangerous!

Sometimes landlords take recourse to cutting off supply of
electricity to the tenants to make them vacate their house.Publishers
and Booksellers Guild general secretary Tridib Chatterjee also.
embarked upon almost the same plan in case of Imran Khan to terminate
his program at Boi mela yesterday.What's more, he boldly or rather
brazenly made it public to all as if to let everybody know how
intelligently he handled a difficult situation.one wonders how he
conducts such a big event like Boimela with this level of
intelligence.His concept of decency and decorum is also
questionable.Before instructing to switch off the light didn't he once
think a high profile guest like Imran Khan would feel insulted and
humiliated at this bizarre way of cutting short his program?That apart
he exposed Imran to high security risk as any thing untoward could
happen in darkness.Guild secretary could easily request Imran not to
entertain any more question from press as another program is scheduled
at this venue and participants are waiting.

Unsavory treatment!

Everybody is equal in the eye of law.In that sense the arrest of
Dr.Mani Chettri in connexion with AMRI tragedy is justified.But law
has its human face too.Dr. Chettri is a nonagenarian with frail
health.His contribution to medical science is indisputable.He's
produced a good number of brilliant doctors who have made their mark
in the field of their specialization.He's devoted his life to the
physical well being of innumerable patients.That apart Dr. Chettri has
been whole heartedly cooperating with the investigating agency since
the AMRI fire incident took place.It's not conceivable why police has
felt it necessary after as many as 45 days to nab him and slap him
with a non bailable offence.Not only that, police even contested his
bail petition.Medical fraternity should vehemently protest against
such a unsavory treatment, may it be legally justified, being meted out to him on
humanitarian ground.

Double Standard

Manhandling Principals in college campus:
Campus violence in academic arena is nothing new.Students gherao
principal, teachers and the non teaching staff or the members of the
governing body of an academic institution to get their demands
fulfilled.Sometimes they become unruly and go on the rampage too.But
they hardly manhandle teachers. At present roughing up a teacher at
the slightest pretext has been a very common phenomenon.The sights of
a college or school principal being physically assaulted by the
students or outsiders in the campus are really pathetic and barbaric
too.No language is sufficient to condemn such incidents.What's most
unfortunate is the miscreants are not properly dealt with by the
administration.Police make out cases in such a way that the miscreants
are released on bail immediately after arrest.What's more, the main
culprits who're normally big guys are not even arrested at all for
their political influence.Not only that, the top administration
unabashedly and openly play down such occurrences and describe it as
just aberration.Isn't it as good as pampering the criminals?

So far as the police action is concerned, unashamed discrimination is
made most probably based on political complexion.In Raigunj College
incident police slapped the culprits who incidentally belong to TMC with bailable offence for assaulting principal while at Majdia
college, Nadia for the same offence police framed the miscreants
who're reportedly members of SFI with non- bailable offence and sent
to court for trial.

It's high time administration could act properly cutting across party
line to stop such ugly incidents,otherwise we'll see the re-run of
dark days in early seventies.
