.
a recent instance of CPI(M)'s willingness to use rape as a weapon against a people's struggle. Later, CPI(M).
systematically spread the theories that she had in fact been killed by her lover, her father or her brother. At.
the time, the West Bengal CM fromCPI(M) ordered a CBI enquiry, promising that it would punish the guilty.
if indeed anyone was found guilty. But now the CBI enquiry has accused CPI(M)'s own local leaders of.
having masterminded the rape. Yet CPI(M) continues to defend the rapists and deny the rape itself..
In Nandigram also, CPI(M) cadres and police indulged in brutal sexual violence on women..
.
CPI(M)'s top most leadership - such as its CC member Benoy Konar, resorted to obscene threats against.
women activists who were speaking out against the land grab at Singur and Nandigram. Konar threatened.
"When Medha Patkar visits here next time, we'll ask our women cadres to show her their backsides.".
When Medha Patkar went to Nandigram, not women, but CPI(M) men did in fact pull down their pants and.
show their behinds..
.
In 1993, Shubhankar Chakravarty, Principal of Ashutosh College, Kolkata, punished a girl student for wearing.
a salwar-kameez, which he said went against `Bengali culture'. Inspite of such anti-woman attitudes, he.
was rewarded with a Vice-Chancellorship of Rabindra Bharati University as well as a high-profile Lok Sabha.
ticket against Mamata Banerjee from the CPI(M)..
.
SFI assaulted girl students in Rabindra Bharati University in 2002 while attempting to enforce a dress.
code of `sarees only' on the girl students of the Visual Arts Department. (Times of India, 22 and 24 July,.
2002)..
.
After the infamous Birati rape case in 1991, Shyamali Gupta, the General Secretary of the CPI(M)'s West.
Bengal women's wing, said about the 3 Bangladeshi refugee victims: "Many women of that area, including.
Shanti Das (a victim), the mistress of a notorious anti-social, were involved in foul professions and such.
honeymoons of these women with the anti-socials were an open secret, that day's events appeared to.
be a sequel to the rivalry between these anti-socials", and this statement was published in full by the.
CPI(M)'s party organ, People's Democracy! (cited in Tanika Sarkar, `Reflections on Birati Rape Case', Gender Ideology.
in Bengal, EPW, Feb 21, 1991.).
.
CPI(M)'s former Kerala CM from CPI(M), the late EK Nayanar, asked about the rash of rape cases in the.
state, had replied: `In the US, rape is as common as drinking tea or coffee; rape is as old as time and.
will continue as long as there are women.' (The Hindu, April 30, 2004).
.
After the Kozhikode sex scandal in Kerala, Nayanar again said, "wherever there are women, there will.
be a sex racket. Sex rackets occur naturally." (Outlook, 22 Dec, 1997).
.
The Left-oriented women's movement has a well-deserved reputation for commitment to women's struggles. In.
order to retain and consolidate this legitimacy and combat the fascist and patriarchal forces, the Left groups need to.
prove that they are willing to acknowledge and consciously combat patriarchal `common sense' within their own ranks..
When a CPI(M) Government refuses to dismiss a police officer who openly denies women's rights and expresses.
communal views, when Left leaders defend `dress codes' in the name feminine `decency', or imply that a woman's.
sexual behaviour can justify rape, do they not do grievous harm to women's struggles against such patriarchal.
ideology? Do they not end up giving a boost to the fascist Right-wing, that quotes the CPI(M)'s anti-woman.
statements to defend itself?.
.
When SFI and CPI(M) display double standards by refusing to condemn the anti-woman words and deeds of their.
own comrades on the issue of gender, when they refuse to question the patriarchal stances and distorted gender.
ideology of their own party, they only end up strengthening the patriarchal and anti-woman agenda of the right-wing.

In this JNUSU elections, AISA appeals to you to stand by those who consistently defend gender justice.
and women's rights, and reject the political proponents of patriarchy and their representatives on campus!.
