Kolkata : cpmFormer secretary of the state party suspended for six months on Saturday, Kolkata District Committee Anil Biswas’s daughter Ajanta Biswas, a four-part article. appeared in Trinamool Congress mouthpiecewake up bangla‘.
Most of the district committee members stuck to the recommendations of the CPM area committee for college and university teachers under the Kolkata unit, which proposed a six-month suspension for Ajanta, associate professor at Rabindra Bharati University. He ignored the CPM district secretariat’s proposal to reduce the suspension to three months.
Biswas faced sharp criticism from college and university teachers like Keshab Bhattacharya. Some CPM leaders like Koninika Ghosh argued for a three-month suspension despite strong criticism over the “content of the article” and its publication in the Trinamool daily.
A section of leaders wondered how the CPM Kolkata committee could take disciplinary action after the party’s central committee announced the schedule of conventions for the party Congress. He argued that the CPM constitution does not permit disciplinary action against any member of the party after the announcement of the programme. However, a senior leader in Kolkata pointed out that the cut-off date for putting everything on hold was August 25 and action was taken within that time frame.
Ajanta in her four-part article writes about the prominent female participants Bengal Politics, including Basanti Devi, Sarojini Naidu, Suniti Devi and love of a mother Banerjee. He wrote extensively about Banerjee’s political career and called the movement in Singur “gana bikhobh (people’s movement)”, raising eyebrows. CPM leaders conceded that the views expressed were not in line with the party line.
