Dear Friends,
At the outset, we would like to covey our heartfelt thanks to you all for your immediate response against the illegal arrest of our leader Mr. Abhya Sahoo.
| Today i.e. 3rd Dec 2011, the police with the help of private militia camping and intimidating the villagers of Govindpur and preparing to continue laying roads in the area. The police are using all sorts of repressive measures including that of implicating men and women in false cases. We are now clear that the state government has made a pre-planned strategy to weaken the democratic movement by continuing its attack on the peaceful protesters from all sides. Our villagers have blocked the main road in different places in the area to prevent entry of police and private militia in to the villages of Dhinkia, Nuagaon and Gadakujang. |
On 28th November, the Communist party of India (CPI) general secretary A.B. Bardhan, Central Committee addresses the protesting villagers in Dhinkia GP along with Politburo Member D. Raja and senior leader Narayan Reddy and demanded the immediate release of Mr. Abhaya Sahu the leader of the Posco Pratirodh Sangram Samiti who has been by a design implicated in a murder case. The leaders also opposed the State government's move to construct an approach road along the coastline to connect the port town of Paradip with the site selected for the proposed steel mill. This is happening at a time when the MOU with POSCO has not been renewed for the last 2 years and all illegal work of the state has been thoroughly exposed.
In Bhubaneswar, state capital of Odisha,a protest demonstration was also organised by a large group of leaders of left parties, social activists and representatives of various mass organisations demanding the unconditional release of Mr. Sahu. The leaders condemned the state government authorities for arresting the democratic leader Mr. Abhay Sahoo.
On 25th of November, Mr. Abhaya Sahoo, was illegally arrested and sent to jail after his bail application was rejected by a court in Kujanga. He was produced before Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Kujanga, Alpana Swain who rejected his bail application and remanded him in to 14 days judicial custody. Police said that altogether 10 cases were slapped against Sahu during last three months which included clash with police during construction of a coastal road and involvement in a dowry related death incident.
We are requesting all of you to redouble your effort to put pressure on the government and release our leader Mr. Abhaya Sahoo. Different democratic protests are in the process and will also be held in other parts of the country on different dates. There is also a systematic effort by the state forces now led by the notorious Priyabrata Pattnaik to penetrate in to the villages in some pretext with the help of private militia and terrorize the protesters and then to divide them. Please expose the dual mindset of the CM Nabin Patnaik who says that no force will be used but in reality allows all kind of repression to continue.
We shall inform you the ongoing development here.
Kindly circulate this mail widely.
In solidarity,
Prashant Paikary
