Ashok Jiban, Jhargram: Spokesperson of the People's Committee against Police
Atrocities (PCPA), Ashok Jiban, has said that West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata
Banerjee has failed to deliver on the promises she made to the Maoists before
the state elections.
While
reacting to recent statements by Mamata Banerjee, Jiban said: "She
(Banerjee) talked about peace during her visit here. We also want peace and for
making the environment conducive for peace she will have to keep her promises
and then the process of continuous discussions will bring back permanent peace
here."
He
also said that the Maoist prisoners arrested during the conflicts must be
released as was promised earlier.
"First
we want withdrawal of the security forces, then we want the unconditional
release of all the prisoners and withdrawal of false cases. In the past, when
the CPI(M) established a new government, they released prisoners without any
condition. Uttar Pradesh government also released prisoners on her birthday,
recently the Orissa government also released prisoners and the military junta
government of Myanmar controlled by Army also released 6300 prisoners. They all
didn't establish their respective governments with any promises but the Chief
Minister of West Bengal made these promises before the elections," he
added.
Jiban
also said that Banerjee's call to the Maoists to give up arms is a farce as
there are other gangs controlled by political parties, which need to be
disbanded.
"The
Chief Minister said that the rebels have given up arms. But the people don't
have any arms. It is in the hands of the CPI(M)'s Harmad. It is in the TMC's
(Trinamool Congress) Bhairab Bahini's hands. Arms are also in the Maoist's
hands, but Maoists are not like the Harmad and Bhairab gangs because they have
their own ideals. They should not be compared with these gangs under any
circumstances. But these gangs attack villages regularly so their arms must be
seized first," he asserted.
