Both West Bengal and Kerala, the only remaining major states with significant presence of the Left parties, are notorious for political violence.
Communist party members are accused of using violence and intimidation to silence their ideological opponents. Not just the contenders of power, but also the common people become victims of the witch hunt.
The J Shamsudeen committee report released in September 2019 gave harrowing details of Left’s reign of terror in Kerala colleges.
Complaints also emerged against Left-affiliated teachers who turn a blind eye to the illegal activities of SFI leaders. Unlawful practices such as attendance waiver for SFI leaders and facilitating their re-admission were also raised during the hearing by students, teachers, rights activists and other stakeholders.
The report also pointed out that “torture chambers” existed in the colleges where SFI members would take the students who fail to toe the line.
