Stop US Surveillance : CPIM

The recent exposure in the media of the US National  Security Agency (NSA) mining  internet and telephone data for intelligence purposes violates the sovereignty of nations and the privacy of individuals who use such internet services.  The media revelations indicate that major telecom companies such as Verizon, AT&T and internet companies such as Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, Apple and Facebook have, in effect,  become tools of the US government under the PRISM project.  They also intercept cable lines for this purpose.

It is significant that India is a major target of such intelligence gathering. It is the fifth largest target of such snooping, even ahead of countries such as China and Russia.  The US official defense, including President Obama’s own response, is that the NSA was spying only on “foreigners”; no US citizens’s privacy was violated and no US laws were broken; and this was being done in the US national interest.

It is now clear that the current control of internet and its global governance under a US Department of Commerce contract means that the US government controls the internet.  With the increase of internet’s importance to global communications, the dangers of such untrammeled  control for other countries and the rights of its citizens are now  clear.  India must immediately protest on such violation of its citizen’s rights and violation of its sovereignty.

Not only should the government of India protest against the intrusive  intelligence gathering by the US with the help of companies such as Microsoft, Google, Yahoo and Facebook etc, but India should also join hands with other countries to make these companies accountable to people who  use their services across the globe.  India must also press for an immediate initiative to democratize internet governance and ensure that the US intelligence agencies do not override the sovereignty  of countries and the rights of individuals.

The state has turned into a place of anarchy LF won’t let Panchayat Election a farce : Biman Basu

The state government and its police administration and State Election Commission too have completely failed to do everything what they earlier promised to the Honourable Court to follow the order of holding fair and peaceful Panchayat election in the state. The state has in turn transformed into a place of anarchy, where no law and order prevails in the state, said the Left Front Chairman Biman Basu while addressing the press.

While questioning the role of the Governor in such a disastrous situation Biman Basu said that what should be the role of a Governor in such a situation? He should not remain silent and inactive. The Left Front would submit deputation claiming an active role from his end. The Left Front delegation will also meet Chairman, State Election Commission too. We will further organize sit-in agitation, said Biman Basu.

Reiterating the law and order situation in the state Biman Basu said that the state government does not perform it duty to maintain the situation peaceful. This won’t be tolerated anyway. Trinamool Congress and their government are doing mockery to the democratic situation in the state. The Left Front at this point will fight for democracy.

While detailing about the nomination filing situation in the state Biman Basu said that in many areas the opposition parties could not file nominations. In many areas the threatening continues after filing nominations. The bike force of Trinamool Congress is giving pressures to withdraw nominations. This seriously harms participatory democratic forms what was a major contribution of Left front government. Voters are now being allowed to participate in election process. Trinamool Congress is a non-democratic party and they do not allow democracy to prevail in the state.

On the brutal rape and murder of the College student in Barasat Biman Basu said that in the regime of a woman Chief Minister the state is witnessing regular such atrocities against women. The government remains silent and ignorant too. He also sharply criticized how the journalists were beaten and molested by Trinamool Congress in Barackpore.

The Left Front allies unanimously decided not to let the panchayat election a mockery to the democracy. We will fight together to restore democracy.
