KOLKATA / NEW DELHI: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, was criticized Sunday by sending a farmer, Shiladitya Chowdhury, who claimed to Maoist era to jail for asking an awkward question at a rally in Belpahari, Midnapore.
While the CPM was predictably scathing about the senior leader Nilotpal Basu said that unemployment rose to autocracy, BJP, which usually refrains from being critical of Banerjee, said that political parties can not respond to flee questions.
However, it was the Press Council of India Markandeya Katju President was of the most ruthless, the parallels between the rule of drawing Banerjee and Nazism. Banerjee Katju said the actions amounted to "flagrant abuse" of the state machinery and the "flagrant violation" of constitutional and human rights.
He said the West Bengal officials who detained the farmers, Shiladitya Chowdhury, should take lessons from Nuremberg trial where Nazi war criminals took the argument that they were only following orders from Adolf Hitler, but were executed.
Katju said he had changed his mind about Banerjee who had praised before. "She is totally unfit to be a political leader in a democratic country like India, since she has no respect for civil and constitutional rights of citizens and is completely dictatorial, intolerant, and capricious in their behavior," he said, before adding that "marks a Maoist student Bhardwaj Taniya during a television program simply because she had asked a question. also obtained a Jadavpur University professor arrested for their supply chain cartoon".
Nilotpal Basu said the government is "using state institutions to act against people who ask questions" and lamented that the West Bengal government was not even a little tolerant of criticism. But Congress played it safe with Rashid Alvi spokesman said: "The problem is with the state government. Do not know the facts and have no information about the incident. We can not comment."
Jnanpith and Magsaysay award winner Mahasweta Devi said: "That he spoke frankly their fault? This should have been avoided." Written by Sunil Gangopadhyay said: "The basic foundation of democracy is freedom of expression. This is an insult to democracy".
Chowdhury, selected for a program of CRPF, was dubbed Maoist Banerjee at a public meeting in the former Maoist stronghold Belpahari on August 8. He was arrested when asked what steps he was taking the CM to help farmers. Chowdhury had said that farmers were dying and that "empty promises were not enough." Banerjee was surprised and asked the police to arrest him.
BJP Nirmala Sitharaman said: "Politically, political parties can not flee when asking questions and we must respond. They have to respond. The action in people is not appropriate.
The resonance of the criticism was seen on social networking sites. Mamata Banerjee was one of the 10 most trending topics for most of Sunday. Brien Trinamool Congress MPs Derek O 'and Kunal Ghosh took to Twitter to discredit. "A man who enters the" D "of a Z-plus VVIP mood provocative and offensive, is it normal? The police arrested him correctly. Not play politics with this issue," wrote Ghosh. "How in 72 hours, a" farmer "became a" bus driver "in a super high security zone Maoist?" Asked Derek.
