This is good. Who are the demands being made to? Are u also sending it to the subzonal committee?You can still do it... This would have been a good opportunity to collect endorsements and pressurise the sub zonal committe. Also instead of glorifying maoists only or doing maoist bashing all the time, this would have been an opportunity for many to offer critical support to those implementing schemes etc for the working class poor.The nexus of maoists with contractors is not new, but that the overlapping areas of work can bring us on conflicting sides need not have annihilation as the response. Good, we are condeming it. In solidarity, Ranjana

The Sub-zonal committee of the Communist Party of India (Maoist) has owned the responsibility of the killing giving the reason that Niyamat was a police informer and involved in the cutting of forests on a large scale. The Maoists have alleged that Niyamat and his friend Bhukan were involved in the corruption and collection of money from villagers. These are baselss allegations and CPI (Maoist) ,they need to apologise and explain this heinous crime Niyamat Ansari, who was resident of Kope Gram Panchayat (Manika Bloack), has been working tirelessly for the rights of NREGA workers and exposed many farauds in this area during the last few years. On 20 February 2011, Niyamat and his friends exposed a case of brazen embezzlement of NREGA funds in Rankikala Gram Panchayat. In response to this report, an FIR was lodged against the main culprit, Kailash Sahu, former BDO of Manika. More than two lakhs of rupees were also recovered from him and his accomplice, the Panchayat Sevak of Rankikala We Demand: 1. Immediate arrest of the prime suspects (named in the FIR), 2. compensation for Ansari’s family, protection for Bhukan Singh 3. CBI inquiry into Ansari’s murder 4.Safety and Security of all those who are fighting against corruption and involved in implementation of government acts Endorsed by Anand Patwardhan- Independent Film Maker and Activist, Mumbai Daniel Mazgaonkar- Veteran Gandhian , Mumbai Kamayani Bali Mahabal- Human Rights Activist, Mumbai Sukla Sen - Anti Nuclear Activist, Mumbai Sanober Keshwaar- Human Rights Activist, Mumbai -- Adv Kamayani Bali Mahabal +919820749204 skype-lawyercumactivist "Nobody is giving up violence.
