Hindus of Usthi (WB) protested vehemently against Islamic Hooliganism through Village Police.

Hindu Activist and BJP youth leader attacked by Muslim Civic Volunteers in Usthi.


Samarpita Saha | Spotlight News Service | Usthi (S 24 Pgs), WB | 1 January 2015:: The law and order situation under Usthi Police Station (South 24 Parganas) is worsening rapidly due to the rampant Islamic hooliganism and the political indulgence to it.

The purposely recruited Civic Volunteers (renamed from Village Police or Green Police) under the political arbitration of the ruling TMC (Trinmool Congress) are being fully utilized for the political gain by vandalizing the opposition political forces under various repression and persecutions. The mainstream media is ignoring the facts and acts about it causing the uncontrollable situations sometimes against the civil society and police itself.

On Tuesday, 30 Dec,  a Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (Youth Front of BJP) leader of Usthi area, named Pratap Hazra was beaten up by some civic volunteers due to quarrel between them out of parking of the motorbike of Hazra, in front of old Usthi Police Station.  

Hazra went to the market place for purchasing some household goods and tried to park his bike in a safe place far away from the road so that no traffic jam would occur anyway.

Two Civic volunteers named Makbul Seikh and Sohorab Seikh attacked the BJYM leader all on a sudden after uttering filthy words against, Narendra Modi, BJP and Hindus as well. Hazra tried to check them gallantly and some police personnel present their also intervened to stop the scuffle. But, the police did not arrest the perpetrators for their unruly brutal activities.

It is reported that the perpetrators viz Makbul and Sohorab are very much close to the local TMC MLA and State Minority Affairs Minister Giyasuddin Molla. People believe that Giyasuddin had recommended Makbul, Sohorab and many other Muslim youths in Civic Volunteers for his personal political gain and to use them against the oppositions and the Hindus in particular.

The news of uncivilized and serious attack on Pratap Hazra by the Civic Volunteers under State Police went to the corners momentarily and garnered a huge Hindu repercussion.

About 3000 Hindu activists of various Hindu organizations and BJP supporters of the area gathered in front of Usthi Police Station put up a two hour road bloc since 9 AM, protesting against the incident.

The IC of Usthi PS, Subir Dhali and One SI named Supriya Rang tried their level best to take control over the situation and DSP (Falta -Rural), S 24 Pgs also reached the spot without delay.

After getting some assurance or arresting the attackers or to make further proceedings duly, the agitators removed the road blocked after two hours as such.

A FIR was lodged in Usthi PS for this matter as reported.

The injured worker was treated at Diamond Harbour District Hospital afterwards.

Now, alarming news came to this desk that the Communal MLA of TMC and also the Minority Affair Minister of West Bengal, Giyasuddin Molla is trying hard to rescue the Muslim perpetrators out of his communal feeling and demanded the arrest of Hazra, if Police would arrest the attackers Makbul and Sohorab.

Sources said that Police directly expressed their inability to arrest Hazra as he has no anti social record rather he has a good reputation for his various social welfare activities.

Before joining BJP, Hazra were attached to various Hindu organizations like RSS, Hindu Samhati and Hindu Janajagruti Samiti. In recent Hazra launched a pro-Hindu activist group named Bhawani Sena following the ideals of Ananda Math of  Rishi Bankim Chandra Chattopadhya  andBhawani Mandirof  Sri Aurobinda.



Practically, Giyasuddin Molla, the tramp-card of Mamata Banerjee (CM of WB) for Muslim Vote Bank of South 24 Parganas, is trying now to diminish the upsurge of Hindu consolidation and BJP politics in the area and adjacent.

Hindus and the BJP supporters have taken a vow to go for any steps to protect Pratap Hazra from any eventualities and restore the Hindu might in the locality.

Saradha Scam: CBI arrests WB Transport Minister Madan Mitra. Bankrupt TMC backs Madan.

Saradha chit fund scam: CBI arrests West Bengal Transport Minister Madan Mitra, Trinamool cries foul.

Madhuparna Das | Express News Service| Kolkata | December 12, 2014:: The shadow thrown by the Saradha scandal is slowly creeping up the hierarchy of the Trinamool Congress. After two Rajya Sabha MPs, the CBI Friday arrested Madan Mitra, one of most powerful ministers in Mamata Banerjee’s Cabinet, for his alleged involvement in the multi-crore chit fund scam.

Mitra, the State Transport and Sports Minister, submitted his resignation to Banerjee before reaching the CBI office where he was grilled for five hours before being arrested. He is the first Minister in the state to be arrested in the case after TMC MPs Kunal Ghosh and Srinjoy Bose. The Chief Minister, later, called the arrest “the worst conspiracy the BJP government could do in Bengal.”

According to CBI sources, what led to Mitra’s arrest was crucial evidence including CCTV footage, key statements, and detailed documents of certain financial transactions.

The news of Mitra’s arrest was officially announced at 4.20 pm, following which Banerjee and her senior ministers came out in his defence. Banerjee and State Panchayat Minister Subrata Mukherjee claimed that the “decision to arrest Mitra was taken when the BJP national president (Amit Shah) came to the city on November 30.”

However, the buzz about the possible arrest of Mitra had begun on November 15 when he received the first summons from the agency.

The Minister was then admitted to a private hospital though the doctors there failed to provide a “reasonable explanation for his illness” to CBI.


Mitra was then shifted to the state-run SSKM Hospital, where a medical board — again — failed to submit a medical report to CBI “that could justify Mitra’s illness”. Following his discharge from SSKM, Mitra on November 27 sought a week’s time from CBI.

Contrary to Mitra’s claims, the CBI had recovered CCTV footage showing Mitra entering Saradha CMD Sudipta Sen’s office. Sources said that the agency had also recorded statements of Sen, Saradha executive director Debjani Mukherjee and other employees that revealed Mitra’s links to the Saradha establishment.

According to the sources, Mitra initially “refused to cooperate” but broke down after investigators informed him of the arrest.

CBI official Kanchan Prasad later issued a statement confirming Mitra’s arrest “on prima facie evidence of criminal conspiracy, cheating, and misappropriation as well as deriving undue financial benefits from the Saradha Group”. The statement also confirmed the arrests of “Naresh Balodia, Legal Advisor to Sudipto Sen and Saradha Group on charges of criminal conspiracy, cheating and diversion of funds in the same case.”

According to a close aide of Mitra, the Minister had “submitted his resignation to the Chief Minister, but madam did not accept it.”

Speaking to reporters later, Banerjee said, “We also have several documents against many persons. But we are gentle and decent. Should we arrest a Central leader when he comes to our state? We can also put several charges. I am challenging the Central government to arrest me if they can. Madan is innocent. It is a political conspiracy.”

Daring the CBI to arrest her, Banerjee said, “They have sent some goonda-like officers here. People can see how these officers look. And they are now doing ‘goondagiri’ here. How can they arrest a patient who was called as a witness? The BJP government has broken the federal and democratic structure of the country.”

Saradha scam: Mamata backs arrested minister Madan Mitra, dares Modi to arrest her.

HT Correspondent | Hindustan Times | Kolkata |  December 12, 2014 :: Embarrassment mounted for West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee and her Trinamool Congress after the CBI arrested state transport and sports minister Madan Mitra in connection with the Saradha scam on Friday. 
He is the first minister of Bengal to be arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in any case, and the fourth Trinamool leader to be held by the probe agency in the chit fund scam.

Accusing the Centre of adopting bullying tactics after Mitra’s arrest, Banerjee lashed out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Amit Shah and dared them to arrest her.

“CBI may take Madan to SSKM Hospital. I will go to meet him. Let me see whether Amit Shah’s goondas and Narendra Modi’s police can arrest me,” she said.

“It (the arrest) is unfortunate, shameful and deserves to be condemned. It’s sheer political vendetta. Can the CBI and the Centre go out of their jurisdiction and act like this?” she added.

The Saradha chit fund scam trail is hounding Banerjee’s government unlike any other challenge she has encountered during her stint in power so far and Mitra’s arrest triggered fresh calls from opposition leaders for her resignation.

Opposition parties have repeatedly accused the CM of trying to shield some of the beneficiaries of the company’s slush funds.

The Saradha scam was caused by the collapse of the investment operation of the Saradha Group, a consortium of over 200 private companies, which ran many unlicensed financial schemes in eastern India.

Under the scam hundreds of thousands of small investors lost Rs. 2,459 crore, according to an official estimate. There are unofficial estimates that peg the figure higher. 

The CBI arrested Mitra around 4 pm after questioning him for about three hours during which he denied taking any money from Saradha, said an official privy to the development.

According to the official, who did not want to be named, Mitra stood his ground despite CBI officers confronting him with evidence.

“In the Saradha chit fund scam, RC 4 S/14, case relating to Saradha Realty, CBI has arrested Madan Mitra, a cabinet minister in the government of West Bengal on prima facie evidence of criminal conspiracy, cheating and misappropriation as well as deriving undue financial benefits from Saradha group,” said a CBI statement.

“CBI has also arrested Naresh Balodia, legal advisor to Sudipta Sen (Saradha Group chairperson) on charges of criminal conspiracy, cheating and diversion of funds in the same case,” the statement added.

Within an hour of the arrest, the Trinamool tore into Shah, who had launched a scathing attack on the Bengal CM last month, laying the foundation for the 2016 assembly elections in the state.

“The arrest of our cabinet colleague seems to be an act of vendetta. It appears CBI is controlled not only by BJP but also by Amit Shah. We strongly condemn this action. Neither the governor, nor the assembly speaker was informed before the arrest,” said Subrata Mukherjee, state panchayat minister.

The Supreme Court had in May ordered a CBI probe into the chit fund scams in West Bengal, Odisha and Assam under which various companies, including Saradha, allegedly duped investors of around Rs. 10,000 crore.

Two Rajya Sabha MPs (Kunal Ghosh, Srinjoy Bose) and a vice-president (Rajat Majumdar) of the Trinamool are already behind the bars in connection with the Saradha case.

The CM’s stated position is none from her party took any money from Saradha. She also points to the group’s operations having started during the Left rule, which she ended.

The group folded up in April last year, leaving its investors, largely from rural areas with little access to formal banking facilities, in the lurch.

The opposition mounted pressure on the CM after Mitra’s arrest.

“Madan Mitra’s arrest shows that Trinamool leaders are neck deep in Saradha scam, and the dots are leading to Mamata Banerjee’s doorstep. It’s time for her to resign taking moral responsibility,” said Sidharth Nath Singh, BJP national secretary.

State Congress president Adhir Chowdhury, too, demanded that the CM step down.

A New Blog in Bengali :: পশ্চিমবঙ্গ বাঙালি হিন্দুর প্রথম সুরক্ষাভূমি :: Paschimbanga - The First secured Land for Bengali Hindus.

A New Blog in Bengali :: পশ্চিমবঙ্গ বাঙালি হিন্দুর প্রথম সুরক্ষাভূমি


Sambuddha Gupta : Spotlight Media Center :  Kolkata :: In the jungles of blogs, it is difficult to find out that important herbs that may cure your ailment or that tree under which you can rest a while or stay in the night at safety.

No I am not advocating for this new wordpress blog in Bengali under the Caption PASCHIMBANGA : BANGALI HINDUR PROTHAM SURAKSHA BHOOMI at the url http://bangalihindurjanya.wordpress.com, but to admire the endeavor of the blogger to meet up a long felt requirement for such a blog in Bengali in the region of West Bengal, (now  renamed as Paschimbanga in English also), which can at least say something on regular basis in their own language in the web, when the Bengali media always avoid to depict the peril and persecution of Hindus by the Muslims here and there with a little chance to do so.

In its very introduction, the blogger has successfully engrossed our Bengali Hindu sentiment in a very vulnerable condition in the advent of Islamic fascism and political chauvinism in Bengal under any concept of color or  culpability only to engender the future of Hindus in Bengal. Congress, CPIM, Trinmool, Islamists all are in a row to enjoy the pitchering blood from the slaughtered body of the Bengalis as if a curse for their Hindu entity. 

I must convey my endless salutation for a restless mentor, ideologue and the warrior saint for the rescue of Lethargic and reluctant Bengali Hindu clan this time, Upananda Brahmachari, whose inspiration and initiation geared up us to publish this new blog. No conspiracy can stop him. Again he is the champion to publish a Bengali blog in the field of Active and Aggressive Hindutva as a pioneer in Paschimbanga with a challenge to give a hardest fight to anti Hindu lobby in West Bengal.

We cordially expect the positive response and help in all respect from the viewers as before.

Bangladeshi influx interlinked West Bengal as Safe Heaven of Terrorists.

How influx of Bangladeshi migrants, terror is interlinked


Rediff News || July 19, 2011 20:04 IST

Riazul Sarkar alias Akash Khan, arrested from Kishanganj on Saturday night in connection with July 13 Mumbai blasts, is in all probability a Bangladeshi who intruded into India. His arrest throws light on the problem of illegal migrants and how they pose a security threat to the country. Vicky Nanjappa reports.

[Photo from Bihar Post :As part of a nationwide crackdown on suspected terrorists, two persons were arrested in Bihar's Kishanganj district late on Saturday in connection with Wednesday’s serial blasts in Mumbai. The main suspect has been identified as Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI) operative Mohammad Riyazul Sarkar, said to be a resident of North Dinajpur, West Bengal.]

After the probe in the triple blasts in Mumbai started all eyes are on Kishanganj, a district in Bihar, from where Riazul Sarkar alias Akash Khan, was arrested on Saturday night. There is so far no clue of Sarkar's involvement in blasts and investigating agencies are still trying to ascertain whether he is a terrorist or just an illegal immigrant.

However, this case brings to fore the issue of illegal migrants, which is termed as a potential security risk to the country. Recent estimate suggests that nearly 20 million illegal migrants from Bangladesh have settled in the country. They have fanned out across India, but a majority of them are seeking refuge in West Bengal and Bihar.

Intelligence Bureau reports most migrants come in search of jobs and end up working as construction labourers or maids in various parts of the country. There is no proper record on their movement, which makes the task of the investigating agencies tougher.

Kishenganj has today turned into a hub for such migrants. There are many men and women, who have found employment in and around Bihar and some have moved to Delhi. Their movement is controlled by touts, who also get a cut from their income, and they help these migrants send money back home to Bangladesh. The transaction of money along the borders is also handled by the touts.

It has been reported that the migrants residing in Kishenganj have been give ration cards and well as voter IDs. Giving them a permanent status makes it difficult of security agencies to zero in on them.

Many migrants indulge in petty crimes; some even get involved in terror activities. They do not plan or execute acts, but work as foot soldiers.

Pakistan's Inter-Services have been quick to rope in migrants taking advantage of their poor monetary conditions. They are often used for illegal gun trade or for supply for counterfeit currency. Some are also used to plant bombs during terror attacks.

What works to the advantage of terrorists is the fact that there is no record of illegal migrants and hence they can easily give a slip to investigators. However, this is no new trend. Investigation points that migrants may have been used in the 2007 Hyderabad twin blasts. "Terrorists often pick up migrants and ask them to 'place a packet' containing explosives at the target. Not aware of what the parcel contains, the migrants 'run the errand' for a mere Rs 1,000 at times," say sources.

It is Sarkar's arrest that has drawn the attention of the investigators to the threat of illegal migrants, who double up as foot soldiers. Some of them have been living in Kishengunj for 20 years and over the years their population is booming.

Police sources say that Bangladeshis often slip in and out of the country by paying the touts, who are in connivance with security forces at the border, a mere Rs 500. After carrying out a blast, they go back to their country never to return. Many have come to Kishengunj from West Bengal, which is a two-hour drive from the district.

An IB report on this issue states the number of illegal migrants from Bangladesh is on rise and most of them can be traced to West Bengal.

The report also adds that secret service officials from both Pakistan and Bangladesh have found to be working undercover in Bengal. Moreover, recruiters set up terror modules in the belts of Bihar, West Bengal, Tripura and Assam.

Experts point out that this issue needs to be tackled diplomatically. But to start with India needs a better database of people entering the country. Security agencies need to ensure that migrants are not given voting rights. Border security remains the key issue as such infiltration remains unabated because of low-raking officers posted on the border.

Kolkata, West Bengal Safe Haven for Terrorists. Safety and security of the common people are at stake.

Calcutta High Court concerned about the security of common people affected by the terrorist activities in West Bengal, hinted as “Safe haven for the Terrorists”.

Tanusree Pathak || Spotlight Media Centre || Kolkata, 4th Dec. 2010

A division bench of the Calcutta High Court, comprising Chief Justice Jay Narayan Patel and Justice Asim Kumar Roy, has asked the West Bengal State Govt. to file an affidavit in three weeks clarifying why the senior police officers were not ready to accept the National Police Commission guidelines framed by Justice Savarwal of the Supreme Court, in the matter of security surveillance. The bench directed the state to clarify what had prompted it to remain silent about the officers’ reluctance.

The bench of Chief Justice also criticized the reluctance of the State authority for the incapacity to protect the general security for the tax payer common people against the terror threat perception gaining potency day by day in West Bengal, while giving much importance to the security for the political and other high profile personalities.

The counsel of the petitioner of a PIL (Public Interest
litigation as WP 1882w/2009, JASOBANTO RAKSHIT
Vs UNION OF INDIA & ORS.) attracted the notice of the
Court for non-implementation of NPC guidelines regarding
the set up of CCTV in every important public places
including high vigilance in the coastal area police stations
to check the terrorist elements proactive from cross border
regions, specifying this State has turned as a
“most safe haven for the subversive terrorist elements”.

One Jaswant Rakshit had filed this PIL, alleging that Kolkata Police lacked modern equipment and infrastructure and the constables were recruited against bribes to senior officers and a good number of vacancies always existed in the force. It claimed that police had allowed the Kolkata city to become a haven for terrorists.

The bench of Chief Justice J N Patel had earlier directed the government to declare how many vacancies now exist in both the city police and state police. The government submitted a list showing about 30% police posts were vacant.

When the matter came up for hearing on Friday, Dec. 3rd 2010, the Chief Justice asked state Advocates General Balai Ray why the state failed to implement Justice Savarwal's recommendations. Ray said the report could not be implemented due to objections raised by senior police officials.

Ray was then asked who called the shots the state government or police officers. The court also observed that the large number of vacancies rendered police inept at doing their job.

Farook M Razzak, the additional solicitor general of the Central government, told the court that while the Centre had constituted National Police Commission and its recommendations were implemented by a few states, Bengal did not follow suit and instead set up its own police commission.

The counsel, Subroto Mukherjee for the petitioner claimed that because of the shortage of policemen, the safety and security of the common people were at stake.

Mukherjee said in the PIL that the Bengal government had not introduced NPC guidelines for modernizing the state’s police department.

“As a result, the progress of investigation in various cases is suffering badly,” counsel for the petitioner claimed. “The investigating officers cannot submit charge-sheets within the stipulated period of 90 days and criminals are getting released on bail from courts”, as Mukherjee submitted to the court.

After hearing Ray and the petitioner, the court directed the state to file an affidavit and fixed January 21, 2011 as the next date for hearing.
