SFI vandalizes College Street

Today was a big day for Presidency College....and definitely for the whole of college street. The 2 main pillars of this area are the University of Calcutta and the Presidency College. And Presidency went to polls today. Already the students politics in India have earned a bad name...due to the exorbitant expenditure, the inhuman violence that are involved with this. The violence in West Bengal politics in now a familiar face, courtesy the ruling Marxists. Eventually the CPM's student's wing the Students' Federation of India is in power at CU while Presidency was controlled by the opposition Independent Consolidation-AIDSO alliance. Today's election saw SFI sweeping the union at Presidency too, that gives them control over the major 2 institutions. Given my political affiliation, this was a jolt for us. I represent the Opposition at the CU union....so a loss at Presidency is a major one at a time when CU goes to polls just next month and Lok Sabha polls are nearby. The loss at Presidency was on a large due to the inabilities of IC-DSO pact.....their weakness on the organizational front. Though I would not reject the foul play by the SFI, they have the backing of the Marxist goons.
And this backing showed its true colours in the violence that erupted as an aftermath. SFI had been losing the college polls down the ages....only exception being the 2001-2003 stint...the 2 terms they won in office. after a lag of 6 years they have grabbed the body again...and given the margin (6 seats) they are sure to win all the office bearers' posts....and latest news being IC-DSO alliance is going to boycott the panel polls. This is in no way a retreat...it is a protest. As the results started to pour in...the SFI goons took it to the street....they vandalized each and every opposition supporters, workers, voters they got in their way. It was even more shocking to see the students adhering to the ruling party politics....so inhuman, so violent, so much derailed of their moral standers. They would not even leave the female students.....they were tortured. A friend of mine was ruthlessly beaten up....I found an SFI supporter beating him with a helmet. Every victory in entailed with a rejoice...but if this is the way that they think to rejoice then Bengal definitely has darker days in future...Its high time Bengal has a change of guard. I could not believe my eyes....a student....he is heckling another one...his class mate so cruelly...how can this be?....they are supposed to be Marxists!!! Though the Marxists are never known for their mercy.....more ruthless, more higher rank---that's probably the Marxists philosophy says.
Added to this was the role played by the police. Those creatures are payed only to oil the goons backed by the ruling parties.....while the opposition students are being vandalized...they are standing mum....are they human?.....do they lose even the last bit of their conscience once they join the force?.....and our very very 'uncommunist' communist CM may take pride...after all who else is more expert to turn the servant of law into the slave of the ruling institution than the Marxists.
Fear creeps in to think....our future lies at these hands...a bunch of hooligans...who knows nothing about morality, the culture of tolerance, and the method to share victory with the vanquished...that is what democracy teaches....but then expecting the Marxists to respect is a gross disrespect for democracy itself....shame in this Government....shame on the CPM and their goons.....time is approaching.....they can hear the knell...it time dear.....that's why they are so aggressive....
learn...or just get vanquished...time will never give another chance.
