We are very painfully note that in Nandigram of East Medinipur district of
West Bengal the protest demonstration by BMS, against the recently
introduced labour reforms was attacked by TMC goons. These goons have
severely injured the people who were protesting peacefully and many of the
protestors are now admitted in hospitals. Some senior office bearers of BMS
have also been targeted.
As per resolution passed in our 19th Triennial Conference, BMS organised
protest demonstrations against the labour reforms introduced recently across
the country at district and unit levels. This was in continuation of the ‘Sarkar
jagao, PSU bachao’ and ‘Chetavni’ saptah. Our protests across the country
were very successful and peaceful except in West Bengal.
It has become the norm in West Bengal. TMC goons attack anyone who don’t
follow their ideology or work in coherence with them. Under these
circumstances, we strongly demand hon’ble chief minister of West Bengal to
take steps to ensure that such incidents are curbed and don’t take place in
future. We hope that the culprits of this violence are punished as soon as
possible.
BMS General Secretary Shri Binoy Kumar Sinha request the central government
to take immediate steps to curb the unchecked violence going on in West
Bengal. We strongly demand intervention from the central government to pull
West Bengal out of this crisis.
