West Bengal: 12-hour strike called by Left-Congress alliance over police 'violence’
FPJ Correspondent
Kolkata: The enthusiasm of students of West Bengal who were scheduled to attend their schools after one year from February 12 got spoilt as the Left Front and the Congress called for a 12-hour strike following the lathi-charge of the Kolkata Police over the members of the Left Front student wing during their march to the West Bengal secretariat.
Notably, Kolkata turned into a battlefield as the police resorted to lathi charge on the Left Front student wing during their march towards West Bengal secretariat.
Demanding employment and industrialization, 10 student union wings of the Left Front on Thursday held their protest rally towards Nabanna, but the congregation was stopped at the Esplanade area of Central Kolkata. When the student wings tried to break open the barricades, not just lathi, the police were also seen firing tear gas and water cannons leaving several CPI(M) cadres injured.
