CPI(M) clothing Nandigram with moral garments!!

The way the agitation led by Bhumi Uchchhed Protirodh Committee (BUPC) (Committee for Resistance to Eviction from Homeland) was brutually suppressed by State administration and CPI(M) cadres in Nandigram and all the agitating villages were made silent or 'proponent of industrialisation ' at gunpoint clearly showed the fascist approach to the takeover of rich agricultural land for industrial purposes. Nandigram, and people belonging to those villages proposed for chemical hub SEZ were got down from buses and were advised to go by walking as 'they were opposing industrialization, they should not be allowed to go by buses'. These things were done by CPI(M) cadres after a state level leader of CPI(M), Benoy Konar called for 'making the villagers' lives a hell encircling them from three directions' before media. And the justfication the CPI(M) leaders made was that they were doing all this to suppress the agitation as the project would bring about a lakh of jobs for the villagers. This clearly goes with the tenth rule of the ethics of means and ends which states that you do what you can with what you have and clothe it with moral garments. Is this morality in any sense?

this is because the winner of the war get the privilige to write the history, either in his favour or in opposition to the opponent. it is not in cac tau, but it was the justification of the tenth or eleventh rule (you stated) but the author failed to write it.

In Nandigram, thats happen was not right.in reality political party use them as an issue. what resident of nadigram gets at last. for development we need infrastructure and for this public-private-participation is necessary.

So, i think government of today are not ethical...so, they use these kind of issues for vote bank and popularity

this appears to be a perfectly one sided blind talk to me. There has been incidences much larger scale across India with the advent of SEZ policies. Why was only Nandigram and Bengal projected as a nationwide issue.

stating about the land of poor farmers, where in india land redistribution and land ceilings is done other than the left ruling states.

and what is the present scenario of nandigram..??

pls ask sb from the frontline..who have seen it rather than going with the mainstream media.
