For the primary time in current weeks, Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee seemed to be underneath public stress on Monday. Even her celebration leaders have began saying that the native Trinamool strongman in Sandeshkhali, Shahjahan Sheikh, will likely be arrested quickly. Already three native Trinamool leaders – Uttam Sardar, Ajit Maity and Shibaprasad Hazra – have been arrested. On Monday, the Chief Justice of Calcutta High Court ordered the state police to incorporate Shahjahan Sheikh’s title within the FIR and stated there was no justification for not arresting him. Shahjahan Sheikh is absconding since January 5 when his goons attacked a crew of Enforcement Directorate in Sandeshkhali. The High Court requested the federal government why Shahjahan Sheikh has not been arrested regardless of critical prison complaints filed towards him over the past 4 years.
The Chief Justice made it clear that no court docket keep has been granted to stop the arrest of Shahjahan and he have to be taken into custody. It could also be recalled that Mamata Banerjee’s nephew and Trinamool chief Abhishek Banerjee had claimed a day in the past that it was the High Court which had stayed ED probe towards Shahjahan and police was helpless. Already, there’s public unrest in Sandeshkhali. A bunch of girls protesters barged into the home of a neighborhood TMC chief Shankar Sardar, who they alleged, was a part of the group who sexually abused native girls and grabbed land of native individuals. BJP chief Dilip Ghosh alleged that Mamata Banerjee and Trinamool Congress are defending Shahjahan Sheikh and are stopping fact-finding groups from visiting Sandeshkhali. On Tuesday, an ISF (Indian Secular Front) MLA Naushad Siddiqui was arrested whereas continuing to Sandeshkhali. West Bengal Governor C V Ananda Bose stated, after the High Court order, police should not delay in arresting Shahjahan Sheikh.
From an general perspective, the atrocities in Sandeshkhali would by no means have come to nationwide limelight, had Shahjahan Sheikh’s goons not attacked the ED crew which had gone to his home for probing his position within the ration rip-off. It was solely then that folks got here to learn about Shahjahan Sheikh’s crimes. Para-military forces needed to be deployed, BJP leaders visited the riverine space, the High Court needed to intervene and solely then the individuals of Sandeshkhali started feeling that they might now get justice and Shahjahan’s atrocities would come to an finish. It has now come to note that Shahjahan Sheikh and his goons have forcibly occupied many of the land in Sandeshkhali. They have been extorting cash from every household on a weekly foundation. Any individual refusing to pay ‘cut money’ was disadvantaged of PDS ration. People residing on this space have been getting ration solely after getting a nod from Shahjahan. This strongman’s goons used to forcibly abduct girls and women from their houses and sexually abuse them. The households of rape survivors have been threatened to not open their mouth. The native police in Sandeshkhali was working at his behest. When all these allegations began pouring in, Mamata Banerjee and her police didn’t take any motion towards Shahjahan and his goons.
Soon after, movies of girls narrating their tales of woes began surfacing. Even then, Mamata didn’t take any motion. Had Mamata taken motion at the moment and never labelled the allegations of girls as “lies”, had she ordered instant arrest of Shahjahan, the difficulty wouldn’t have been blown out of proportions. But Mamata tried to offer political color and the difficulty has now gone out of her hand. Mamata realized that she might lose Hindu voters in her quest to appease Muslim voters. She felt that she might lose the entire of Bengal due to one Sheikh. It was solely then that she determined to take motion. Mamata is aware of how the Nandigram violence in 2007 lastly dislodged the Left from energy and uprooted the Marxists. By highlighting Nandigram, Mamata had introduced “Poriborton” (change) in Bengal. Now for the reason that boot is on the opposite foot, she is making an attempt her finest to keep away from a Nandigram in Sandeshkhali. She wouldn’t just like the BJP to take political benefit of the state of affairs. This is the rationale why Mamata and her police at the moment are pressured to take motion towards Shahjahan Sheikh, who has dozens of prison instances towards him. There are a number of thousand witnesses towards him. It may very well be that Shahjahan Sheikh could also be arrested quickly, however it’s too late. Mamata’s authorities must reply questions earlier than the court docket, and Mamata Banerjee will even have to offer explanations within the court docket of individuals (Janata Ki Adalat).
