As for all that happened there, I think it had more to do with corruption in the police force than politics. Priyanka's father and uncle used all the 'influence' that they had gained, on account of having the kind of money that they have. Taslima Nasreen was asked to go, I believe, as the West Bengal govt was already under a lot of pressure because of the Nandigram imbroglio and couldn't seem to handle another issue that had the potential of turning into a political hot-potato. Nandigram was about goons of the ruling party battling those of the opposition and a lot of common people getting caught in the cross-fire. So, this issue had to do with the criminalisation of politics. So, there were other issues involved as well, I would say, besides secular governance or, rather, the lack of it.

Those who sat and watched India being partitioned, than Bengal being partitioned, death of revolution . Those who in a day became supporters of the British Raj while people were dying, its a "Peoples war" now-- They have always did it. Now its time that this "confusion" and their abuse of red banner and name must come to an end. The "Communists" i keep on thinking whats "Fascism" than??
