The so-called “red terror” of Siraj Sikder’s followers

The fuel behind the disrespect and insult of Comrade Siraj Sikder’s graffiti was the threat of ‘red terror’ in a post by Meghmalla Basu, a leader of a section of the Chhatra Union. After that, the course of events has become entangled in various truths and lies. Now opportunists have set out to hunt in murky waters.
▫️
First of all: There was no noble motive behind drawing Siraj Sikder’s graffiti, it was an illiterate mischievous reason, the so-called coup did not replace Sheikh Mujib with Siraj Sikder. They have relegated Siraj Sikder to the ranks of Abu Sayeed.
▫️
Secondly: With the help of the revisionist left, the extreme right wing seized power and first crushed the leftists who were with them, and then the Chhatra Dal, whose ideology is close to them, does not require rocket science to understand this.
▫️
Thirdly: With the DUCSU elections in sight, they will commit terrorism on any pretext to seize power in DU. And to prevent that terrorism, self-proclaimed scholars like Meghmalla have tried to give themselves a Maoist look by using the word ‘Red Terror’. There is no greater stupidity. The political line of Meghmalla has nothing to do with the Mao line or the Siraj Sikder line. It is all a hoax.
▫️
Fourthly: The students of the Siraj Sikder line should have opposed the SS graffiti from the narrative. They also supported the conspiratorial regime change as a ‘revolution’. Even after knowing the consequences of Iran’s ‘Tudeh’ party, they made the mistake of considering right-wing anarchy as a revolution.
▫️
Now, what will happen to the media person Basu and his organization is not important. The duty of Siraj Sikder’s followers will be to get out of the revisionist encirclement and build a movement-struggle by grasping the line of people’s war. Yunus-Jamaat-Hizbut-NGO-Susil-Militocorpo establishment should all shave their heads with one razor. The later they realize this, the closer the danger will come.

Note: ‘Red Terror’ is not Mao’s saying. ‘White Terror must be countered with Red Terror’, this is Mao’s saying. ‘Red Terror’ or ‘Red Robber’, Nixon used to mock Mao by calling him this.
