This from CNN-IBN<\/strong><\/a>:<\/p>\n

Many refugees of Nandigram have confirmed that they had been brutally raped. Fear looms large in her eyes, the fear of [tag]CPI-M[\/tag] cadres. Forty-year-old Akreja Biwi doesn’t want to go back home anymore.<\/p>\n

Last Sunday, as the CPI-M recaptured Nandigram, nearly 100 of the party cadres allegedly looted her house, raped her and her daughters. All her daughters have gone missing.<\/p>\n

Akreja says, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153They pulled her and raped her mercilessly, I have lost my daughters.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Seventeen-year-old Sabina Yasmin is from Shatengabari, one of the epicentres of the turf war between the CPI(M) and the Maoists-backed Bhumi Uchched Pratirodh Committee, saw her future go up in smoke when her house was torched on November 6.<\/p>\n

A bright student, Sabina wanted to be a nurse and there are many story like hers.<\/p>\n

”I dreamt of becoming a nurse one day which is why I used to work for the health department and go out for pulse polio campaigns. Now, there’s no hope. My dreams are shattered,” said Sabina Yasmin, resident, Satengabari.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Asked about rape of women in Nandigram, the 59-year-old leader said if there is any veracity in these reports, the West Bengal government will take strict and stringent action against the culprits.<\/font><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

and <\/strong><\/a>…<\/font><\/p>\n

There was \u00e2\u20ac\u0153a conspiracy\u00e2\u20ac\u009d to undermine the interests of the poor in Nandigram, she said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well I suppose that it is possible. the people of [tag]Nandigram[\/tag] set them selves on fire, the women raped themselves and everyone else committed mass suicide to make the CPI (M) government look bad…<\/p>\n

I am not sure what makes me sadder …. a party that is supposed to represent the poor and dispossessed turning against the people, or a woman questioning the veracity of rape….<\/p>\n

A word of advice to Mrs.Gandhi & other seniors in the [tag]Congress Party[\/tag] -if the only way that the UPA and its government can stay in power is with the support of a party as sullied as the CPI-M – maybe it is time to go back to the people……. the voters of [tag]India[\/tag] have traditionally done what is right …… Let there be elections……<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
