Nandigram: The fear of CPI-M cadres looms large in her eyes. Forty-year-old Akreja Biwi doesn't want to go back home anymore. Last Sunday, as the CPI-M recaptured Nandigram, nearly 100 of the party cadres allegedly looted her house, raped her and her daughters. All her daughters have gone missing.
“My daughters and I saw them from a window. They were carrying rifles. We pleaded with them but they said that they would kill us if we didn’t let them in so I opened the door and ran and they chased us
“The cadres pulled me hard and raped me and my daughters,” says Akreja Biwi.
It is an unparallel tragedy that is now unfolding in hospital wards in Nandigram and Kolkata.
Those who managed to flee their homes speak of the torture they endured every night.
“The women are being raped mercilessly every night and we are not being able to come out,” says a resident of Gokul Nagar village.
“Hundreds are being killed, dragged away from their homes and burnt,” adds another resident of Gokul Nagar village.
The place has turned to killing fields with violence perpetrated by the CPI-M that was justified not just by the party but also by the Chief Minister who rules the state.
Seventy-five-year-old Kalpana Munian was hit by a bullet in the lower abdomen so was 40-year-old Sonachura.
For both them, it is a painful wait. Doctors can't operate on them because there is no one to sign their forms.
Their families are still stuck inside Nandigram's killing fields where the CPM is still in control despite the CRPF's presence.
