Hindu Monks and Nuns Killed by anti-Hindu and Communist Party Activists

Hindu Monks and Nuns Killed by anti-Hindu and Communist Party Activists in Hindu-majority Kolkata, West Bengal and India

Sachi G. Dastidar

   The group of Hindu monks and nuns belonged to Ananda Marg Order, headquartered in Kolkata. Sadly hardly any 'progressive' or so-called 'liberal press' of the West asked for prosecution of mass murderers in the heart of 'progressive' city of Kolkata/Calcutta which was a leader of India's independence movement.

  Even after a decade of 'investigation' the anti-communist Trinamool Congress Government of West Bengal hasn't moved an iota (in 2010) either in arresting or in prosecuting the killers.

Note: The ruling Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPM) was defeated in election in West Bengal State of India by the All India Trinamool Congress Party (TMC) in 2011 by a huge margin. The newly formed TMC government in West Bengal ordered a judicial probe into that mass murder when no killer was arrested by then ruling CPM government.

আনন্দমার্গের মিছিল

নিজস্ব প্রতিনিধি, কলকাতা: আনন্দমার্গের ১৭ জন সন্ন্যাসী-সন্ন্যাসিনী হত্যার ৩৭ বছর পূর্তি উপলক্ষে মঙ্গলবার একটি মৌন মিছিলের আয়োজন করা হয়েছিল। আনন্দমার্গ প্রচারক সঙ্ঘের উদ্যোগের এই কর্মসূচি পালন করা হয়। বিজন সেতু গিয়ে মিছিলটি শেষ হয়। মিছিলে একাধিক বিশিষ্টজন পা মেলান। মিছিল শেষে এক সভায় তাঁরা বলেন, নীতিবাদকে যতক্ষণ না প্রতিষ্ঠিত করা হবে, আত্মকেন্দ্রিক নেতাদেরই জন্ম হবে। এই হত্যাকাণ্ডের তদন্ত বিচারপতি অমিতাভ লালা কমিশন তদন্ত করছে। আনন্দমার্গ আশা রাখে, প্রকৃত সত্যি বেরিয়ে আসবে।

(In 37 years no one has been arrested, nor any one has been prosecuted; neither by Communist-Marxist-run administration - who organized this mass Hindu murder in Hindu-majority West Bengal in Hindu-majority India - nor by the ruling (2010s) anti-Communist TrinaMool Congress Party led by Ms. Mamata Banerjee. This is the silent - mouna - protest as in earlier years. This demonstration in 2019 is in remembrance of that barbaric mass murder.)
