২০১১ সালে রাজ্যে তৃণমূল সরকার আসার পর থেকেই এরাজ্যের মানুষের দুর্দশা বাড়তে থাকে। গরিব ও মধ্যবিত্ত মানুষের জীবন জীবিকার সংকট, দীর্ঘ লড়াইয়ের মধ্য দিয়ে রাজ্যের মানুষের অর্জিত গণতান্ত্রিক অধিকারের ওপরে আক্রমণ ও সাম্প্রদায়িক মেরুকরণ, সবই তীব্র হতে থাকে। এমন একটা পরিস্থিতিতে ২০১৫ সালে বামপন্থী গণসংগঠনগুলি প্রথমবার নবান্ন অভিযান করেছিল। ২০১৬ সালের বিধানসভা নির্বাচনের পরে পরিস্থিতি আরো অনেক খারাপ হয়েছে।

Modi shouts "Triple Talaq", "Triple Talaq", "Triple Talaq", .....to show his concern for Muslim women. Will he do justice to the rape victims belonging to Muslim Minority? Village of Sain (Muslim) community 10 July 2007. A week after the fateful day the community is still stunned and unable to resume their normal lives or even to properly speak to strangers. They still find it difficult to believe that what they went through on that fateful Monday could happen to anyone in this land. That kind of savagery and that too from their next door neighbours of Dharmantapur village which is situated barely some 2 and a half kilometers away.

Every now and then, Modi cries for the welfare of Muslim Women in the name of Triple Talaq. Will he do justice to the girls and women of Muzaffarnagar who were raped and molested by his armed goons.

During the 34 years rule of the Left Front, there was complete communal harmony. No one ever witnessed any kind of communal riot. Even during 1984 and 2002, both the Sikh and the Muslim Community lived without any fear or coercion. West Bengal was regarded as a paradise for all communities. To, Mamata has turned West Bengal into a den of both Hindutva and Islamic militants. Manufacturing of bombs, country made pistols and other ammunition has taken the form of small scale industry. Mamata is supporting both of them for her political survival. During last six years of her misrule, the number of training centres of both the RSS and Islamic militants have increased manifolds. The entire state is sitting on the mouth of an active volcano.

Maulana Noorur Rahman Barkati - বুধবার বরকতি দাবি করেছিলেন, ‘‘আমার বাবা ৫০ বছর টিপু সুলতান মসজিদের ইমাম ছিলেন। তিনি বরাবর গাড়িতে লাল বাতি ব্যবহার করেছেন। সেই প্রথা মেনে চলছি।’’ এ প্রসঙ্গে ধর্মতলার মোড়ে টিপু সুলতান মসজিদটি পরিচালনা করে প্রিন্স গোলাম মহম্মদ ওয়াকফ এস্টেট। এই এস্টেটের মোতায়াল্লি আনোয়ার আলি শাহ-র সাফ কথা— ‘‘বরকতি সাহেব অসত্য বলেছেন। তাঁর বাবা কখনওই কোনও গাড়িতে মসজিদে আসতেন না। তা ছাড়া টিপু সুলতান মসজিদ বরকতি সাহেবের পৈতৃক সম্পত্তিও নয়।’’

Shahi Imam of Kolkata’s Tipu Sultan Mosque, Maulana Noorur Rahman Barkati: ধর্মতলার মোড়ে টিপু সুলতান মসজিদটি পরিচালনা করে প্রিন্স গোলাম মহম্মদ ওয়াকফ এস্টেট। এই এস্টেটের মোতায়াল্লি আনোয়ার আলি শাহ-র সাফ কথা— লাল বাতি ব্যবহার নিয়ে বরকতি সাহেবের অনড় মনোভাব আদতে টিপু সুলতান মসজিদের সম্মানকেই ক্ষুণ্ণ করছে। টিপু সুলতানের ছোট ছেলে প্রিন্স গোলাম মহম্মদের বংশধর এই আনোয়ার আলি শাহ। তিনি বলেন, ‘‘এস্টেট পরিচালন সমিতি ১৯৮৯ সালে বরকতি সাহেবকে টিপু সুলতান মসজিদের ইমাম নিযুক্ত করে। কিন্তু ক্ষমতার অপব্যবহার করে দিনের পর দিন মসজিদের মধ্যে নানা অনৈতিক কাজ করে চলেছেন বরকতি।’’ তাঁর কথায়, বরকতির এ-হেন আচরণ গোটা দেশের কাছে এই মসজিদের ভাবমূর্তি ধুলোয় মিশিয়েছে। আনোয়ারের অভিযোগ, ‘‘মসজিদ চত্বরের মধ্যে তাঁর জন্য একটি ঘর বরাদ্দ করা হয়েছে। কিন্তু ওই ঘরটি তিনি একটি রাজনৈতিক দলের দফতরে পরিণত করেছেন।’’ মোতোয়াল্লি জানান, চলতি বছরের গোড়াতেই প্রথমে শো-কজ করার পরে বরকতিকে বহিষ্কারের সিদ্ধান্ত নেয় এস্টেট কমিটি। আনোয়ার বলেন, ‘‘কিন্তু বহিষ্কারের চিঠি পেয়েও গায়ের জোরে মসজিদে রয়েছেন বরকতি।’’

আইনকে বুড়ো আঙুল দেখিয়ে ইমাম নুর-উর রহমান বরকতি যে ভাবে গাড়িতে লাল বাতি ব্যবহার করছেন, তাতে ক্ষুব্ধ টিপু সুলতান মসজিদ কর্তৃপক্ষ। শুধু লাল বাতি ব্যবহারই নয়, নানা রাজনৈতিক বিষয়ে বরকতি যে সব মন্তব্য করছেন ও ফতোয়া দিচ্ছেন, তারও দায় নিচ্ছেন না টিপু সুলতান মসজিদ কর্তৃপক্ষ।

Tipu Sultan Mosque authority becomes angry by the attitude of Imam Barkati - Anandabazar



Shahi Imam of Tipu Sultan Mosque Maulana Nurur Rehman Barkati is not only a religious pervert but also a power hungry political scoundrel as well as political bastard. These type of touts of political corridors are responsible for the rise of both Hindu and Muslim fundamentalists. If Barkati is kept in a piggery for 6 months, his fat of audacity will automatically melt down soon. That is the only treatment for this idiot. Barkati who has lamentably emerged over the years as the chief political adviser and guru of Mamata Banerjee, needs to be stripped of his Imam-hood and subjected to a thorough examination - of his cerebral capacities. In fact, Barkati symbolises the degeneration that is gradually setting into Bengal’s polity under CM Mamata Banerjee.

Mohan Bhagwat and Maulana Nurur Rehman Barkati are two sides of the same coin. They are not only religious perverts but also power hungry political scoundrels. These touts of political corridors are responsible for the rise of both Hindu and Muslim fundamentalism. They foment communal tension and violence on this or that pretext to suit their vested political interests. Mohan Bhagwat works for Narendra Modi, who engineered the genocide of more than 3000 innocent people. And Barkati works for Mamata Banerjee, a Fascist, who has unleashed a reign of terror in West Bengal with the help of armed goons, the police and the fraud chit fund owners and money launderers. Bhagwat and Barkati as well as their political bosses are die-hard anti-Leftists and anti-Communists. None is actually concerned with their respective people. They use them as pawns to further their own misinterpreted Hinduism and Islam. The result is abnormal increase in communal violence throughout the country, as a result of which innocent people from both the religions are becoming victims and losing their life and properties. Both Bhagwat and Barkat should be forced to live jointly in a piggery till good sense prevails over them and they refrain from disturbing the secular fabric of the country.

“There are 12 crore tribals in the country. There is a large tribal population in 170-175 districts in the country. The SECC survey of 2011 has shown that tribals are the most backward sections of society. 65 percent of tribals are landless. The income of 90 percent of tribals is less than Rs 5000 per month. Why has such a situation arisen even after 70 years of independence? This is because of the disastrous policies of successive governments, and the current BJP regime is the worst in this regard.

It has been a busy two months in the Supreme Court for those involved in a set of high-profile cases that have been pending for decades.
