JOINT PRESS RELEASE
Students and activists participate in a candle light vigil against the extremeties by Israeli state in Palestine
More than 200 students and activists under the banner of NEFIS (North East Forum for International Solidarity) and KYS (Krantikari Yuva Sangathan) participated in a candle light vigil yesterday 25th August against the extremeties of Israeli state in Gaza. Students and activists assembled in Arts Faculty, North Campus and carried out a candle light vigil from Arts Faculty to Vishwavidyalay metro station. North campus echoed with slogans like ‘No more blood for oil’, ’US imperialism Down! Down!’.
Students and activists participate in a candle light vigil against the extremeties by Israeli state in Palestine
The war on Palestine however is not the most horrifying for the attack on unarmed civilians by one of the world’s most sophisticated armies. Much of its horror lies in the silence that most of the world’s governments have maintained while watching this bloodbath unfold, complicit in the massacre of the Palestinians in their flourishing relations with Israel and their subservience to various extents to the American imperialism that fuels it. The Zionist purging of Arabs from the Palestinian lands has throughout been supported and in fact abetted by the imperialist powers. The US has been pumping in millions of dollars as aid to fund Israel’s occupation of Palestinian land and the slaughtering of its population.
Students and activists participate in a candle light vigil against the extremeties by Israeli state in Palestine
Among others, India maintains particularly close economic and diplomatic ties with Israel. In fact while Indian foreign policy on the Israel-Palestine conflict has over the past few decades taken a decisive turn in the favour of Israel, the coming into power of the Hindu right in India has further strengthened the ideological affinity between the ruling powers of both the countries. Further, this affinity stands on the firm ground of dense economic exchange. Besides trade in other goods, India is the biggest importer of armaments from Israel, contributing to one of Israel’s most important industries while Israel is the largest buyer of diamonds polished in India.
Despite the evident disparity in all manners of resources and strength with their adversary, the Palestinian people continue to fight the occupation with remarkable courage. The only thing that stands with them besides their courage is the solidarity that their struggle has received from people across the world. It is for us to fight beside them, mounting pressure on Israel and the Indian government which offers it tacit support, the primacy the government gives to arms over minimal social security, its repression and butchery of its own people so on and so forth.

A constable of Criminal Investigation Department caught disguised as journalist reflects the blatantly intrusive nature of the Home department. However hard the constable might have tried acting like a journalist, he has been exposed. Along with him, his bosses who have supposedly given the instruction have also been exposed. Evidently, he was not acting his part alone. There are more members of his tribe snooping around at the premises of the Manipur Press Club. Let it be known that the more they try to act, the more they will be exposed. Deceiving act of the mole came to light during a press briefing by the volunteers of Joint Committee on implementation of Inner Line Permit system, on August 24. Though the CID constable rallied all his skill in acting, the reporters present in the briefing effortlessly spotted the odd man out. Agreed, the desire and need for intelligence has increased manifold. Great rulers and generals from early period of history relied heavily on their spies. Spying is one of the oldest professions ever known. Author of The Art of War, Chinese general Sun Tzu gave great importance to the role of intelligence. Underscoring that it is necessary to know the enemy beforehand, he wrote ‘If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear a hundred battles. If you know yourself and not the enemy, for every victory you will suffer a defeat. If you know neither yourself nor the enemy, you are a fool and will meet defeat in every battle.’ The aphorism is equally applicable to statecraft as well. To function smoothly, the State has to keep its eyes and ears open. The State Police’s CID is an important entity to collect information about potentially antagonistic groups or individuals and their activities. With numerous movements and demands that have been raised by social groups in the State, it is obviously the felt need of the administration to ascertain the nature of the movements; their modus operandi and areas of operation etc. This would ensure the State apparatus to be prepared in advance of any possible agitation or campaign, which could turn violent. However, the recent incident of the CID constable impersonating as journalist is an infringement of professional space, and unacceptable in all sense of term. Mingling with the journalist, the constable went on to the length of raising queries during the press meet. What prompted the State to send its spies to monitor the activities of the media? It seems, while performing their ‘intelligent duties’, the authorities have overlooked a certain fact – that the population of the State is not that large like other big States. Without much effort, it is easy to know what games people play. For instance, it is not difficult to ascertain how certain people in the locality manages to build palatial houses overnight; how even petty Government officers can own large amount of real estate properties within a short period of time and the like. The State must recognise the undeniable fact that media and the police row in the same boat. Journalists are not the enemy of the State. And perhaps, the foot soldiers of the State intelligence department and their bosses must read carefully Sun Tzu’s last sentence of the above quote.
