Kolkata, Oct 13: The ruling Left Front today called
off its plan to hold processions in the city in view of the
stay of the order banning rallies and processions but
continued its tirade against the judge who had passed the
order.
"Left Front will not organise marches in view of the stay
on Justice Lala's order, but will continue protest meetings
and campaigns throughout the state till the final judgement,"
the LF chairman and senior CPI(M) leader, Biman Bose, told
reporters after an emergency meeting of the LF committee
during the day.
The LF trade unions and women's wings have decided to go ahead with their planned rallies today and tomorrow respectively, but called off the processions on the street to defy the ban order in view of the stay on Justice Lala's order by a division bench on Monday.
A division bench of Calcutta High Court on Monday stayed the operation of Justice Amitava Lala's September 29 order on an appeal filed by the Left Front government.
When Bose was asked if slogans like "Justice Lala, quit Bengal during yesterday's procession by Leftist student and youth wings were desireable, Bose quipped "instead of asking the question whether the slogan was desireable one should ask whether the order itself was desireable".
Bose, against whom contempt proceeding was demanded by opposition parties for his alleged personal attacks on Justice Lala, continued to be defiant saying, "people who are holding important positions in office should say things and take decisions in such a manner that their words and order do not vitiate the atmosphere".
