MODI'S FASCIST GOVERNMENT AND INDIAN STATE ATTACK 17 DEMOCRATIC ORGANISATIONS FOR 'PRO-REBEL OUTFIT'

Lens on 17 pro-rebel outfits
July 16: Bokaro SP A. Vijayalaxmi shot off letters to all 32 officers-in-charge (OCs) of the rebel-hit district to keep a close watch on outfits promoting Naxalism in the garb of NGOs yesterday, 24 hours after state police headquarters in Ranchi received a list of 17 such active organisations in Jharkhand. The Union home ministry has listed 66 organisations operational across the country, which try and indoctrinate rural and urban youths, farmers, labourers, daily wage labourers, the displaced, and women with the Naxalite ideology, stoking feelings of deprivation and resentment against the government and the law of the land.
Among them, 17 are actively functional in Jharkhand. They include known and not-so-known ones, such as Bharat Navyug Sabha, Communist Yuva League, Democratic Students’ Union, Jharkhand Mazdoor Kisan Sangram Parishad, Jharkhand Awam, Jharkhand Mukti Mancha, Jharkhand Liberation Front, Krantikari Kisan Committee, Krantikari Budhijeevi Manch, Mazdoor Sangathan Samiti, Nari Mukti Sangh, Nari Mukti Sangram Samiti, Revolutionary Democratic Front, Revolutionary Students’ League, Shramik Sangharsh Morcha, Operation Green Hunt Virodhi Nagrik Manch and Visthapit Virodhi Jan Vikas Andolan. A high-level police source told The Telegraph that the list was drawn up up with inputs from Intelligence Bureau and special crime branch teams. SP Vijayalaxmi said her letter to the OCs pointed out that these organisations always tried pointing out to their target audience that the government machinery did nothing for the common masses.

“All the OCs have been asked to remain vigilant and take strict action according to law if any of the named organisations are found working in an unconstitutional manner. But, I stressed that proof of their anti-national activities must be collected before taking any action whatsoever,” she said. A police officer who declined coming on record said two of those in the list were known troublemakers whenever any displacement related controversy brewed in and around Bokaro. “They foment trouble among the land-losers and displaced. There is a thick line between fighting for the rights of the masses and instigating people to embrace Naxalism as a way of life,” he said.
