A major portion of the city erupted yesterday when police lathicharged a mob near Ripon street. The mob was comprised of supporters of the All India Minority forum, who were demonstrating against the Nandigram violence and demanding the revokation of Taslima Nasreen's visa, on grounds that she was anti-islamic.
I'm not trying to use this blog to slam/support someone's stance but but how can one justify pelting the police with stone and setting up roadblocks all over city to disrupt city life for 3 hrs (9 am to 12 noon) as ways to demonstrate against issues? Who do these people have problem with - the public or the government? Why don't they try and draw attention to issues in a more peaceful manner, rather than resorting to such crippling tactics? Look at where they have gotten Bengal to; we had a curfew slapped upon us yesterday from 10 pm to 6 am in select areas!!
The situation was sick and extremely volatile; we were evacuated from our offices, just imagine!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyways, don't expect the market to send you any early XMas gifts; expect more correction at current levels given the lack of any positive news and negative worldwide sentiments!! Stay put, Dear Investors!!
