Message of harmony the spirit of Martyrs' Day rally

Kolkata: "Ekotai Sampriti" became an integral part of the Martyrs' Day rally on Saturday with people from across the state coming in with placards and posters spreading the message of communal peace and harmony.

This comes when TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee had been repeatedly saying that Bengal has the rich heritage of communal harmony. With her repeated pleas, she has urged the masses not to indulge in any sort of instigation and not to pay any attention to rumours.

The move of the Trinamool Congress workers and supporters in spreading the message of peace and harmony during the Martyrs' Day rally earned significance when there had been repeated attempts by communal forces to disturb the same in the state.

People had started turning up to the city from Tuesday onwards to attend the mass rally and to listen to the party supremo, who played a key role in keeping up the tradition of the communal harmony in Bengal. Besides making people aware, the Chief Minister also requested them to inform the police as soon as they realise that there is some issue and there are deliberate attempts to cause trouble. She also directed the police to maintain a strict vigil. The police also carried out awareness campaigns through social networking sites as well in this connection. The theme of the tableau of the Mamata Banerjee government at the Republic Day parade also highlighted the same sentiment of Ekotai Sampriti.

Sarafat Hussain, a party worker from Hasnabad, North 24-Parganas, was found carrying a placard carrying the message of communal harmony. It read: "Hate communal separatists."

Sarafat said: "Bengal is a land of peace and harmony with a rich heritage of culture and tradition and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is fighting so that common people never get deprived of their rights."

He further said: "When the Chief Minister is fighting for the benefit of the common man along with the overall development of the state, I found spreading messages of communal harmony and other social issues as the best way to pay respect to the 13 martyrs who sacrificed their lives on this day 25 years ago."

Besides spreading such a message, he also urged people to strengthen the hands of the TMC supremo so that she can ensure that Bengal is not deprived of its rights.

Like Sarafat, there were several party workers at the rally who believed in the same concept of peace and harmony.
