Pseudo secular media and Nandigram: What they are saying about Buddhadeb Bhattacharya

The ‘pseudo secular’ media is keeping totally quiet about Buddhadeb and Nandigram. Not a peep out of them. Some of them, in fact, are reporting that it is a ‘reaction’ to the ‘action’, initiated by violent Maoists and the CPI(M) retaliation was spontaneous, and entirely natural.

Not!

Nandigram in Google News

According to this screenshot, taken at 11.05 PM on 14th Nov 2007, Google News  shows 2292 results to the search ‘nandigram’ And as you can check for yourself, most of them are what you call pseudo-secular media reports. As some retards still keep saying, most of them are anti-Buddhadeb and CPI(M), and there is nothing at one look that I can find that supports the marxists’ stand on what happened in Nandigram.

There are some super-retards who still are wondering aloud why the media did not cover the violence while it was happening. They were chased away, and not allowed to enter Nandigram. Oh, it is quite possible that the reporters of TV channels were just making a show of having to run away - such are the times, right?

There is one important lesson for Modi and co. to learn from Nandigram. How to allow a massacre without letting the media in and generally making a nuisance of themselves. I am sure that whenever we have the next organised riot, it will be practised.

Buddhadeb and the rest of the party behaved in a partisan manner. Look at the phrases being used.

  • Us and them.
  • Our people and those people.
  • Paying back in the same coin.
  • Used the same methods as our opponents.
  •  Followed the tactics of the opposition.
  • The media can face serious public ire.

Buddhadeb, you have learnt a lot. From the wrong people. Or did they learn from you?  I see no practical difference in the tactics the VHP-Bajrang Dal-BJP goons used in Gujarat to what your people used in Mandigram.

Only the ideology - as if it matters! - was different. The methods, reactions, abdication of responsibility were all the same.

Fascists all. Thanks to Modi and co., you guys were having a great time playing the good boys. This, sadly, is a welcome reminder of what the Marxists are.

I remember Thalassery, Kerala where the CPI(M) and the RSS have been murdering each other for more than a decade. Same tactics, same revenges. (For those of you who are North Indians, RSS because of a lack of large numbers cannot afford to have the distinctions they have in North India, and stick to being a single violent entity and matches the marxists cut for cut.)

Back to what the secular media is saying about Nandigram and Buddhadeb Bhattacharya. Here are a bunch of sample headlines from different sites and newspapers.

Keep writing trash, Buddha tells media

I feel I have cheapened myself a bit here. Bothering to reply to people whose entire perspective on politics and violence is shaped by a sense of being wronged and desire for retribution. The ones who would prefer that we forget Gujarat, and look at the bright side of Modi. Well, why not look at the bright side of Buddhadeb Bhattacharya, and talk about the investment he is bringing to West Bengal?

Because unlike some of you, I am not looking to kill people today because of Muslim invaders and Partition.

In one of the ads on TV, a kid uses the phrase “look daddy, same to same.”

Modi and Buddhadeb - “Same to same.”
