Kolkata, Jan 27: Left opposition socialist unity
Centre of India claimed that its 32 activists were injured in
'unprovoked' police action and attack by CPI(M) workers to
disrupt the party's 24-hour 'Bangla bandh' which evoked
''total and spontaneous'' response today.
Holding out threat that Suci would be constrained to
call a 48-hour bandh if the left front government did not
concede its demands for reversal of the hike in power tariff,
court and education fees, hospital charges and imposition of
water tax, party's state secretary Pravas Ghosh claimed that
people had ''wholeheartedly'' supported the bandh.
''The state government should accede our demands or face
a 48-hour Bangla bandh'', he said.
Lashing out at the front government's ''anti-people policies'', Ghosh said, ''Entire state became a part of our movement against the front government's wrong policies'', adding his party would continue its movement in support of the demands. Ghosh said that the number of arrests till this afternoon were 1,319, which included Suci MLA Debaprasad Sarkar.
He also alleged that CPI(M) attacked Suci activists unprovoked at nine places in six districts leaving 32 injured of whom two persons were admitted to hospital.
