Maoist posters call for poll boycott
Jamui: Posters of CPI (Maoist) calling for election boycott in Jamui
have not only alarmed the police and the home department but are also
being seen as a warning to them for evolving fresh strategies to check
the activities of the banned Naxal outfit during the the upcoming
assembly poll in the state. The posters were spotted on welcome arches
at Sono Chowk and Charka Patthar under Sono Block on Friday. The police
have seized them. Most of the polling booths, including 259 in Jamui
constituency, 281 in Sikandra (SC) assembly constituency, 293 (JhaJha)
assembly constituency and 293 in Chakai assembly constituency out of
1,326 booths in Jamui district are vulnerable to Maoist violence. Jamui
goes to the polls in the first-phase of electioneering on October 12,
which will see 6,04,298 men and 5,20,744 women casting their votes.
“Majdoor, kisan, chhatra aur naujawan jaan gayei netaon kay chaal…
humsab milkar karengay vote ka bahiskar…(labourers, farmers, students
and youths have understood the games of politicians… and hence we will
boycott the poll)”, read the posters asking people to abstain from
voting. Another poster said, “Operation Green Hunt kay naam par nirdosh
janata kay saath maar-peet, hatya, jail aadi daman chalanay walay neta
ka aaj vote bahiskar karen…(let us stay away from the election of
politicians who have subjected innocent people to assault, killing and
imprisonment in the name of Operation Green-Hunt)”. Written in Hindi in
red ink, the posters were in the name of the CPI (Maoist). A fortnight
ago, similar posters had surfaced in Boutha, Musharat and and other
villages under the Maheshwari panchayat of the district.
