Posted on | by admin2 | Leave a Comment on BSF training Narayani Sena in Cooch Behar: Trinamool

Accusing the central government of trying to disrupt smooth functioning of the state government, Trinamool alleged that the BSF was providing “training” to ‘Narayani Sena’, a private army of the erstwhile Maharaja of Cooch Behar.

“It is a deep-rooted conspiracy against the state government. How come BSF is giving training to Narayani Sena and other elements who are involved in smuggling?” senior TMC leader and state parliamentary affairs minister Partha Chatterjee said.

He said, “We have officially expressed our grievances and lodged a complaint with the highest quarters of the central government.” He also added that this was being done by keeping the state government in the “dark”.

Leader of the party in Lok Sabha, Sudip Bandyopadhyay accused the Centre of interfering in the law and order of the State. He accused the BJP of trying to disturb the peace in Bengal. A delegation of Trinamool MPs met the President and apprised him of the incident.

 

কুচবিহারে নারায়ণী সেনাকে প্রশিক্ষণ দিচ্ছে বি এস এফঃ তৃণমূল

কেন্দ্রের বিরুদ্ধে রাজ্যের কাজে হস্তক্ষেপ করার অভিযোগ করল তৃণমূল কংগ্রেস। উত্তরবঙ্গে নারায়ণী সেনাকে বিএসএফের প্রশিক্ষণ দেওয়া নিয়েও সরব হয়েছে তৃণমূল কংগ্রেস৷ রাষ্ট্রপতির কাছেও বিষয়টি নিয়ে অভিযোগ জানিয়েছেন তারা৷

বর্ষীয়ান তৃণমূল নেতা পার্থ চট্টোপাধ্যায় বলেন, “এটা রাজ্য সরকারের বিরুদ্ধে এক গভীর ষড়যন্ত্র। বিএসএফ কেন্দ্রীয় সংস্থা।  বি এস এফ কিভাবে নারায়ণী সেনাদের প্রশিক্ষণ দিতে পারে। তাঁর কথায়, ‘‘রাজ্যের উন্নয়নে ব্যাঘাত ঘটাতে এবং প্রশাসনিক কাজে বিঘ্ন ঘটাতে এই চক্রান্ত চলছে।’’

“আমরা অফিসিয়ালি আমাদের প্রতিবাদ জানিয়েছি এবং কেন্দ্রীয় সরকারের হেড কোয়ার্টারে অভিযোগও জানিয়েছি”। তিনি আরও বলেন, মুখ্যমন্ত্রী তথা রাজ্য প্রশাসনকে অন্ধকারে রেখেই এসব কাজ করা হচ্ছে”।

রাজ্যের যুক্তরাষ্ট্রীয় পরিকাঠামোয় হস্তক্ষেপ করার জন্য লোকসভার দলনেতা সুদীপ বন্দ্যোপাধ্যায় এদিন কেন্দ্রকেই দায়ী করেন। বাংলার শান্তি বিঘ্নিত করার জন্য তিনি বিজেপিকেই দায়ী করেন। তৃণমূলের এক সংসদীয় প্রতিনিধি দল এদিন রাষ্ট্রপতির সঙ্গে সাক্ষাৎ করে।

Arpita Ghosh speaks during Zero Hour about the harassment of local people in border areas by the BSF

Thank You Madam for giving me the opportunity to speak on this very important issue.

My parliamentary constituency is a border area; the Bangladesh border. As you may know, the BSF is stationed there.

Madam, I keep receiving complaints from local people about the harassment by the BSF on them. School-going girls often complain of harassment.

Recently, a student studying in Class IX committed suicide and in her suicide note she mentioned she was harassed on the way to school.

Problems like this are heard of in many border areas where BSF is present. I would request the government to look into this matter and give us feedback.

Thank you very much.

 

Malda: Trinamool Congress issues statement

Posted on | by AITC | Leave a Comment on Malda: Trinamool Congress issues statement

Statement issued by Derek O’Brien, Chief National Spokesperson:

1. The situation in Kaliachak, Malda was tense, but never got out of hand. The police handled the issue tactfully. Thankfully, no deaths occurred, no injuries and 10 people have been arrested.

2. This was a ‘criminal issue’ but the BJP/RSS, as is their strategy, tried to turn it into a ‘communal issue’. They did this by trending hashtags on Twitter, sharing year-old photographs and posting irresponsible tweets with the help of their social media ‘army’.

3. The BJP/RSS were trying for the last one week to present, what I call, CIN 100: Communally Insensitive Narrative, 100 days before the State goes to polls. They follow the same tactic in all election-bound States.

4. The BJP team did not come here this morning for a ‘fact finding mission’. They came here for a ‘fuel the communal tension’ mission.

5. We now hear that this morning the leaders were now stating this was opium/fake currency issue. We have been saying all along this is a sensitive issue in a border town and not a communal issue.

6. Trinamool believes in working for people irrespective of community, caste or creed. Our track record of development for the last five years, across sectors, is there for all to see. Our focus is on development.
