City of joy becomes Venice of slums and all lost rivers return with venom.Venom spills over waterlogged Bengal as crimes have been institutionalised under political system and multi headed civil society engaged in butter slices!
It is Monsoon in the eastern part of the country. Monsoon minus weddings.Monsoon without honeymoon.Rain poems evokes no more romance in the city of joy.It is hell lose all over metro life without drainage,withot drinking water,without shelter for the footpathdwellers and slumdogs,without daily wage,without food,without transport,without connectivity.Anyone may get into open drains.Anyone mey get electricuted.
You may not hope any respite at all in an anarchy as West Bengal is likely to experience heavy rainfall over the next two days, Met officials said Wednesday.
Officials at the Alipur Met Office here said most districts of the state will witness moderate to heavy rains while southern parts of Bengal will receive the maximum rain from Wednesday to Friday.
Wind will be "generally light" and Thursday night is forecast to be the wettest.
Several areas of the eastern metropolis were Tuesday night water-logged following a downpour, causing traffic snarls.
No one seems to be interested in public affairs.Everyone seems to be vendors of venom which is the most popular fast food in Bengal nowadays.Media stopped to address social realities long before.Since long paid news ringmasters rule all sources of information.It is omnipotent mind control.
It seems we have have landed into Europe of middle ages where all kinds of knights are engaged in violent fight and peasantry in destroyed by religion and politics as well.It is the dark age minus peasant insurrection.
Reforms means genocide.What Europe and Americas witnessed during original globalisations,we have to suffer in twenty first century without any resistance.All kinds of pirates have taken over in every sphere of life.Nature is raped as Raped is humanity.
Bengal is famous for its rivers.Undivided Bengal have been a nation of rivers as Punjab has been.We lost most of rivers in the Himalayan blunder of partition and now,it seems all those lost revers do return with venom.
Bengaliesboast to bring out change.Bengalies talk most about revolution.But the spineless nationality is only engaged in Hilsa parties these days.They seem not to be interested in anything other than the spicy Hilsa.
The city of procession is devoid of processions.We have to witness the procession of death only.
The crusade declared has become monsoon nostalgia as every law of the land is being manipulated to strengthen corporate promoter builder baniya raj.It is political consensus for mass destruction as the elites in Europe behaved during popular uprising everytime.
Bengalies are the other offsprings of British heritage.The Raj continues.The colonial hangover is not lost at all.Tagore loved to see Kolkata in Kolkata.He wrote,Kolkata aachhe Kolkatatei!
But the people and the politicians want to make a London of Kolkata which is now a virtual Venice of slums in Monsoon days.
It is monsoon and a monsoon full of venom.
Just see!
Breaking her silence, West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday described party MP Tapas Pal's hate speech as a "big blunder", but then wondered if she should "kill him" for this and said whatever steps are needed to be taken have been taken.
Well understood,Trinamool Congress will not take any action against its MP Tapas Pal, who had threatened to 'kill and rape' his political opponents.
The party on Wednesday said it has accepted the unconditional apology tendered by Tapas Pal.
"The party has accepted Tapas Pal's apology as it was in the right spirit," TMC leader Derek O'Brien told reporters in New Delhi.
Meanwhile, a PIL was filed before the Calcutta high court on Wednesday seeking suo motu registration of FIR by the West Bengal Police and penal action against Tapas Pal.
Samit Sanyal, a lawyer, filed the petition before the high court, praying that the state police take suo motu action and register an FIR against Pal, who has tendered a written apology to his party and the media for his remarks.
Trinamool MP Tapas Pal with his wifeHe prayed that the court take cognizance of the MP's comments and direct the West Bengal government to take action against Pal, senior counsel Subrata Mukhopadhyay, who would represent Sanyal in court, said.
It was also prayed before the court that as Pal has said in his letter of apology that the incident occurred during the campaign for the 2014 Lok Sabha election, the Election Commission be asked to take action against him, who was re-elected from Krishnagar seat.
"Some remarks made by me in the heat and dust of the election campaign have caused dismay and consternation. I apologize unreservedly for them," Pal said in the letter circulated on Tuesday.
Pal tendered an unconditional apology for his threat to kill CPM workers and unleash "his boys" to rape their women after he was asked by an embarrassed party leadership to do so following widespread outrage.
"It is not just a mistake, it's big blunder. We have taken whatever steps that are needed to be taken. It is an individual utterance. What do you want? Should I kill him? What can I do ? Whatever I can do we can do it through our policy", Banerjee, who was here in South 24-Paraganas district, told reporters.
She said that Pal, who was re-elected from the Krishnagar constituency in the recent Lok Sabha poll, had tendered an unconditional apology on her instruction.
"The CPM, Congress and some others had in the past said so many things. CPM had said so many things about me. I never saw you people (media) to protest against this. But here I will protest because I feel that it should not have been done," she said.
