Comrade Dipankar. Following the success of this rally, the administration in collusion with ruling parties has unleashed a campaign of state terror against our party, attempting to frame leaders in false cases and link CPI(ML) with ISI and Maoists. (See Box for the latest serious conspiracy to discredit the party and unleash repression) .
Police Conspiracy In Garhwa.
As we go to press, police in Garhwa has falsely tried to implicate CPI(ML) in a Maoist blast in the area. .
On 21 January 2012, an agitation by local villagers demanding the shifting of the proposed site of a health centre was being led by elected mukhiya and CPI(ML) activist Ramdas Minz, at Barga village in Bhandaria block in Garhwa district. The police arrested Comrade Ramdas Minz during the agitation, but the protest continued, blockading the road with the demand that the Bhandaria BDO meet them and address their grievance. .
Comrade Sushma Mahto, elected Zila Parishad Chairperson and well-known local leader of the CPI(ML) was coming from Garhwa by car to the protest site, along with CPI(ML)s Jharkhand State Committee member Comrade Akhtar Ansari. .
A land mine blast by Maoists in the same area claimed the lives of several policemen, though the BDOs car, apparently on the way to meet the agitating villagers, passed safely. When Comrade Sushmas vehicle approached the area, the Maoists stopped the car and snatched the gun from Comrade Sushmas bodyguard. Comrade Sushma, her bodyguard Sunesh Ram, CPI(ML) State Committee member Comrade Akhtar Ansari, and the driver of the car, Ahmed, were abducted by the Maoists. .
Alarmingly, instead of making efforts to rescue the abducted CPI(ML) leaders and others, the Jharkhand police are falsely implicating the CPI(ML) in the landmine blast, alleging that the roadblock and protest were being held by the party as a ploy to lure the policemen into the Maoist trap. Several of our activists, including Comrade Ramdas Minz, elected mukhiya from the CPI(ML), are being tortured in police custody. The DGP of Jharkhand in a press conferennce, refused to acknowledge that Sushma Mahto and other CPI(ML) leaders have been abducted! The Maoists however, reportedly acknowledged the abduction and made some demands in exchange for release of the hostages. .
The police and local administration have for some time now, launched an all-out drive to falsely implicate the CPI(ML) leaders and discredit the party, to crush the growing assertion of the party in Garhwa. .
The Maoists are known for their attacks on democratic activists and leaders prominent instances in Jharkhand include the killing of Comrade Mahendra Singh in Bagodar and social activist Niyamat Ansari in Garhwa. .
In this instance too, they have not only abducted CPI(ML) leaders including an elected woman panchayat leader, their actions have also provided fodder for the police ploy to intensify repression on democratic movements in the region. .
On 19 December 2011, a Jan Akrosh rally was organised at Deori (Giridih), with impressive mobilisation of rural poor including considerable sections of minority and tribal people along with women. The rally was addressed by Comrades Satya Narayan Das, Osman Ansari, J P Verma and Comrade Dipankar among many others. The rally was a befitting reply to AJSU/JVMs attempts to misguide the people of the Jamua Assembly area. .
On 22 December 2011, an impressive rally was organised at Dumka to observe Santhal Pargana Divas (anniversary of the date when the British were forced to form a separate district here). The majority of the participants were poor tribals of Santhal background, half of whom were women. .
From 25 December 2011 to 10 January 2012, the Party organised an intensive Padayatra (march on foot) in Giridih in four assembly segments -Bagodar, Rajdhanwar, Jamua and Gandey. The campaign focused on the betrayal of peoples aspirations by all state governments of Jharkhand, and on peoples rights, including ration cards, other rural development, land, democratic rights and dignity. .
The entire party leadership from block to district to the state, including the partys MLA, was the core force which led this Padayatra in four regions. The Padayatra would begin with a core force of 50200 people, accompanied by a section of people from every village that was crossed. When the Padayatra had covered the entire Panchayat, the mobilisation would reach between 500-3000 people. At the borders of the next Panchayat, at least 100 to 200 people would wait, welcoming the padayatra, and there the people of former Panchayat would bid goodbye to the yatra (journey). Except for a brief break for lunch in some village, the yatra used to continue for 10 hours at a stretch. The leading comrades including Comrades Manoj Bhakt, Vinod Singh, Rajkumar Yadav, and Rajesh Yadav, walked nearly 400 km on an average in 10 days. .
The Padayatra turned into a virtual festival of the people, decked with the red flag and with the traditional cultural touch of drums, nagara, madal etc. The campaign culminated in the Sankalp Sabha on 16 January 2012 .
