The day-long bandh (general strike) call given in the three Jungle Mahal Districts of West Bengal on July 2 to protest the arrest of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)-backed People’s Committee against Police Atrocities (PCPA) leader Manoj Mahato evoked partial response, reports The Hindu.

A day after West Bengal Chief Minister (CM) Mamata Banerjee invited Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) to talk, Maoists said that CM Banerjee would first have to create a congenial atmosphere for dialogue, reports Times of India. "If Mamata is serious about talks, she will have to create a congenial atmosphere and instil confidence among Maoists so that they can come forward to talk," Maoist sympathiser and poet Varavara Rao told PTI. He said that to create confidence among Maoists, the State Government would first have to withdraw the joint forces engaged in anti-Maoist operations in Junglemahal, lift the Unlawful Activities (Prevent) Act, and release all political prisoners from jail. "The Government should release Maoist Central Committee members like Sushil Roy and Pati Paban Halder -- a demand which has repeatedly been made by Kishenji (Mallojula Koteswar Rao) and Azad [Cherukuri Rajkumar], who was treacherously killed," Rao said. Citing the example of Andhra Pradesh which in 2004 withdrew the elite Grey Hound Forces before inviting Maoists for talks, Rao said, "If the West Bengal Government is keen to solve the Maoist problem, it will have to take some positive steps."

Telegraph reports that the Communist party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)-backed People’s Committee against Police Atrocities (PCPA) and other Maoist-backed organisations held rallies in Jhargram and Kolkata where some of the activists burnt her effigies on July 26. They accused Mamata Banerjee, the Chief Minister, of betrayal over her Government’s failure to release the PCPA leaders and withdraw joint forces from Jungle Mahal. In Kolkata, the Maoist sympathisers clashed with Police who tried to prevent them from erecting a “column” for the martyrs of the Singur-Nandigram and Jungle Mahal movements at College Square. They demanded the immediate release of all political prisoners. 12 members of United Student Democratic Front (USDF), a Maoist sympathiser group, were arrested in the protests that saw the chief minister’s effigy being burnt and a stretch of College Street blocked briefly. In Jhargram, Belpahari and other areas of West Midnapore, rallies were held for the “martyrs” by the Forum Against Terror, Corruption and Imperialism, an umbrella organisation of the PCPA, Jhargram Students Federation, Nari Ijjat Bachao Committee (committee for protection of women dignity) and others. The list of the “martyrs” included top PCPA leaders Lalmohan Tudu, Sidhu Soren and Umakanta Mahato, killed in encounters with the joint forces. Incidentally, the day was with the first death anniversary of Soren, a Maoist ‘commander’ shot dead in 2010 in Goaltore forest area.
