3.09.2011 New Delhi: US diplomatic cables leaked by WikiLeaks have once again come to haunt the Left party. In a fresh revelation, it was disclosed that former West Bengal chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee had told the then US ambassador Timothy Roemer in 2009 that the party needs to “either change or perish”.
According to a newspaper report, the whistleblower site revealed that the former chief minister in a meeting with Roemer on October 13, 2009, had criticised the party’s ideology. Not only this, Bhattacharjee had also pitched for US investment in West Bengal and requested the US ambassador to help bring American businesses to the state. The CPI(M) leader also vehemently praised US President Barack Obama during the meeting.
The newspaper stated a cable sent by the US consul-general in Kolkata on October 27, 2009 as saying: “Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee said that his Communist Party of India-Marxist must ‘either change or perish’ and he lamented the lack of technocratic expertise within party leadership in a meeting with the Ambassador in Kolkata.” Zeenews Bureau zeenews.india.com 3.09.2011
OWL WATCH: A number of electronic media and Wikileaks are negatively charged particles. In the war against corruption these types of agencies do not discuss or give a scope to discuss the policies and alternative policies of any political party. When people are showing their anger over the government and all political parties, they do not give any hint to the people to change the agitation against corruption and not against all political parties. Media also do not hunt for the news from non corrupt people. When corruption is the burning issue and CPI(M) is a non corrupt because no any major issue of scam yet found against their party leaders, media will not give a reflection of that political level of understanding of a political party. WikiLeaks is a foreign agency which will never leak any good news for the Indians. But Indian news agencies should work good for the Indians.
Media do what they want to do and they are not accountable because media is beyond the reach of Anna’s Janlokpal. Anna’s theory of “white and black” texture of independence was a spicy statement for media where the rate of viewing would increase which in turn will fetch fortune for them. Serious projection of our society to the people of India is highly neglected by media. They twist the direction and ampute the sense of any news and guide a different direction where their hidden agenda to make their TRP obesed fortune is satisfied.
Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee must have discussed something relevant to West Bengal or India. I think ‘Change’ and ‘perish’ were not only two words spoken to the US Ambassadors by former CM of West Bengal on any meeting. Making a caption fetch my TRP the highest. There is nothing to discuss on WikiLeaks and liquor scam now.
