Some students of Jadavpur University, under the banner of the United Students Democratic Front (USDF), an ultra Left student wing, organised a rally on Tuesday to protest against Operation Greenhunt.
Calling for an end to the Operation, the students burnt an effigy of Union Home Minister P Chidambaram. Besides demanding the withdrawal of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), the students also sought the release of political prisoners like Chhatradhar Mahato. “We want to tell people that they are getting a one-sided story. These people have also built schools and health centres,” said Lokeswari Dasgupta, an USDF member. On the Silda camp attack, the students said that though killing cannot be justified, the “situation in Lalgarh is war-like and people fighting in the area have no other option”.
