Q: Why could not the police stop the vandalism?
A: The police say they did not have any instruction (so expected of the Calcutta Police) to deal strictly with the vandals.
Is it not the constitutional duty of the police to protect the public and public property? or is the bandh like an emergency for the police force where constituional laws stand dormant and the law of the President (here the party who called the bandh) is the law of the land. why are you being mere spectators to such lawlessness?
Q: How were the Congress MLA's attacked in the first place since adequate police cover must have been there?
A: DG, Police Bhupinder Singh says,"maybe police were outnumbered".
(Bravo Mr. Singh!! what a million dollar answer!! huh :| how much more incompetent can the police force become?)
Q: Why did public owned buses not ply as promised?
A: "Yesterday, so many buses had been damaged and set on fire. So we decided not to bring out state transport buses today. There was insecurity."-Sumantra Chowdhury, transport secretary.
Great job CPI(M). if you are afraid how the hell will you protect the citizens of West Bengal who have been electing you for decades?
Q: Why did the Congress resort to violence to protest against violence?
A: ------------
Reason unknown as even the Congress cannot justify this one. After all who can justify such vandalism which cripples the entire state machinery?
Q: Why did not the Govt. take a proactive stand?
A: “The people’s recent mandate (Lok Sabha polls) didn’t empower us to take strong action to ensure peace and normality. Let voters now judge the worth of those they have invited to replace us.” - a secretariat member.
So are you taking revenge for your loss in the Lok Sabha polls? I believe you don't want to win the Asssembly polls either because some more incidents like these and the people will surely elect a new Govt. after decades.
With a brave Govt. and even braver police force like ours, Bengal will surely prosper beyond measure... :|
Wait!!!!! I have been blaming the state machinery all this while but what about us citizens? Why are we sitting quiet? Why are we so afraid to step out of our houses during bandhs? Do you think the vandals can actually harm lakhs of people if we all step out? Why are we electing the same stupid Govt. again and again? Don't you think its time for a change of ideas and ideals?
Watsay people????
