Politics of violence

It is better for the state of West Bengal and the nation as a whole not to use students for promoting vested political interest as being done by the Left and the ruling Trinamool Congress respectively. The state has been caught in a cycle of violence after the manhandling of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Bannerjee and Finance Minister Amit Mitra in Delhi allegedly the students belonging to SFI affiliated to CPI(M). The student wing of the ruling TMC took out protest march in reaction to the incident in Delhi and during that protest they allegedly broke the prestigious Presidency College gate in Kolkata entered and ransacked the Baker laboratory where the class of Physics was going on. Teachers and students were also reportedly attacked. TMC vandals allegedly threatened even some girl students with rape and assault. The Presidency College has an illustrious history and it has greatly contributed to the development of the nation by producing brilliant academicians of national and international repute. It is known for imparting education of the highest standard. The student politics has been exploited by the Left in Bengal, which helped them immensely in ruling the state for more than three decades. Trinamool is also following in the same footstep to have firmer grip in Bengal politics. But the ransacking of the prestigious college like Presidency College make the people of West Bengal hang their head in shame. Chief Minister Mamata Bannerjee's had promised the people of "Poribartan" for betterment in all spheres of lives than the Left regime. However, whatever has happened so far under TMC rule in West Bengal can not be in anyway appreciable. The way an atmosphere of fear and havoc was created among the students of Presidency College allegedly by the student wing of the ruling Trinamul Congress is highly condemnable. Both incidents one in New Delhi and other in Kolkata are highly condemnable and no democratic and civil society can tolerate this type of hooliganism by the student wings of the Left and the TMC respectively. Left leaders have already condemned manhandling of CM and her finance minister allegedly by their students wing SFI, but no leader of Trinamul Congress has so far condemned the ransacking of Presidency College allegedly by TMC's student wing. The action of police when Presidency College was being ransacked and vandalized amply reflected they had order from above to be mute spectator. Chief Minister Mamata Bannerjee must personally visit the Presidency College and see for herself how senseless act was carried out allegedly by the student wing of her party and ask the police to book the students involved in the incident immediately and ensure the college students that there would be not recurrence of this type of vandalism.
