Protests against fuel price hike will continue: Abhishek Banerjee

Posted on | by aitc | Leave a Comment on Protests against fuel price hike will continue: Abhishek Banerjee

To protest against the sky-high fuel prices of recent days, Trinamool Youth Congress today organised a protest march in Kolkata today.

A protest march was held today from Subodh Mullick Square to Park Street, led by National President of AITYC and MP, Abhishek Banerjee. In the districts, the protest rallies will be taken out on Saturday and Sunday (May 26 and 27).

Addressing the party workers after the march ended, Abhishek Banerjee slammed the Centre for its anti-people policies.

Highlights of Abhishek Banerjee’s speech:

Our workers are our biggest assets. The party’s existence is because of our committed workers.

People from all walks of life are here today. There are people from various religions, communities here today. Our leader has taught us about communal harmony. Unity in harmony is our culture.

We had organised a protest rally several months back against FCRA Bill. We will lay down our lives but we will not allow the BJP to promulgate anti-people policies.

We are launching our protests against fuel price rise today. We will organise protest marches and rallies in every district. Our protest will continue till the hike in prices is not rolled back.

We will continue to raise our voices, under the leadership of Mamata Banerjee, whenever people have to bear the brunt of the policies of the Central Government.

Bengal is a land of culture. We challenge our opponents to fight us politically. Let the competition be based on facts and statistics. Let there be comparison of the work done by the Left in 34 years, Mamata Banerjee in 7 years and the Centre in 4 years.

They promised to bring ‘Achhe Din’. But where is ‘Achhe Din’? If people keep money at home, it is termed ‘black money’. And their money in banks is not secure. We arrested the kingpin of ‘Sarada’. Why has Nirav Modi not been arrested yet?

The Centre wants to decide what we will eat and what we will wear. They might control other States using money power, but Mamata Banerjee’s Bengal is not so meek.

They want to disturb the communal harmony in the State for political gains. We will not allow that. We will fight them back tooth and nail.

The death knell for the arrogant government at the Centre has been sounded. Our leader Mamata Banerjee was present at the swearing-in ceremony in Karnataka. The ‘bisarjan’ of the central government will take place in 2019.

They cannot fight us politically. They tried to foil the Panchayat elections. But people gave us 20 out of 20 Zilla Parishads. In 2019 also people will give us 42 out of 42 seats.

Opposition parties will become signboards in future. We will need microscopes to find them.

রাজ্যে ক্রমশ বাড়ছে ব্লু হোয়েল গেমের দাপট। তাই এই মারণ কেলার হাতছানিতে রাস টানতে কড়া অবস্থান নিল শিক্ষা দপ্তর।

শিক্ষামন্ত্রী জানালেন স্কুল চলাকালীন শিক্ষক এবং পড়ুয়ারা মোবাইল ব্যবহার করতে পারবেন না। এদিকে শহরের ৩০টি স্কুলের পড়ুয়াদের ইন্টারনেট ব্যবহারের সুফল ও কুফল নিয়ে সচেতন করতে কর্মশালা করার সিদ্ধান্ত নেওয়া হয়েছে।

ব্লু হোয়েল নিয়ে উদ্বিগ্ন শিক্ষামন্ত্রী বলেন, “ব্লু হোয়েলের মতো খেলা অবিলম্বে বন্ধ হওয়া উচিত। অনেকে এই খেলায় অংশ নিয়ে মারা গেছে। এই খেলা আটকাতেই হবে। এটা কি কোনও খেলা হল?‌”পড়ুয়াদের ব্লু হোয়েলের হাত থেকে রক্ষা করতে বই পড়ার অভ্যেস বাড়ানোর দিকেও জোর দেন শিক্ষামন্ত্রী।

শিক্ষামন্ত্রী বলেন, ‘‌আমাদের কাছে অভিযোগ এসেছে ক্লাস চলাকালীন পড়ানো থামিয়ে শিক্ষক–শিক্ষিকারা মোবাইলে কথা বলছেন। সেই সুযোগে পড়ুয়ারা মোবাইলে গেম খেলছে। এটা চলতে পারে না। আমরা চাই স্কুলে পড়াশোনার সময়টুকুতে যেন পড়াশোনাই হয়। স্কুল চলাকালীন শিক্ষক–পড়ুয়া সবাইকেই মোবাইল বন্ধ রাখতে হবে। তবে এটা কোনও বিজ্ঞপ্তি দিয়ে হবে না। স্কুলগুলিকেও স্বতঃস্ফূর্তভাবে এগিয়ে আসতে হবে।’‌

ইন্টারনেটের ব্যবহার নিয়ে কর্মশালায় ২৫টি সরকারি এবং সরকারি সাহায্যপ্রাপ্ত স্কুল ও ৫টি বেসরকারি স্কুল অংশ নেবে। রাজ্যের আইসিএসই বোর্ডের অধীনস্থ স্কুলগুলিও ইন্টারনেটের ব্যবহার এবং ব্লু হোয়েল নিয়ে পড়ুয়াদের সচেতন করতে কর্মশালা করতে চলেছে। সিবিএসই স্কুলগুলিও এ ব্যাপারে নজরদারি বাড়াতে বলেছে। ‌
