WEST BENGAL CPI (M)'S NEW WEBSITE LAUNCHED

In a short formal observance, a new website of the Bengal state committee of the CPI (M) was launched by state secretary, Biman Basu at the Muzaffar Ahmed Bhavan on 10 September. He tapped the keyboard of a laptop computer at the Muzaffar Ahmad Bhavan and the Bengal CPI (M) website (accessible at http://www.cpimwb.org.in/) floated into sharp focus on the big screen via video technology.

The website is done up using the matrix of the free software and is written in a language that can be accessed from every form of Gnu and non-Gnu software, including the Microsoft ‘Windows’ OS in its various avatars.

Biman Basu said on this occasion that a continuous stream of lies kept on pouring out in an orchestrated manner in the form of slanders and utter untruths about the CPI (M) and the Left Front from the entire gamut of the corporate media, and that a large chunk of it was also polluting the cyber space. The present site, like other sites run by the CPI (M), the various Left parties and by Left mass organisations, would be utilised to counter the lie campaign.

The websites are also used to provide information inputs to the present generation of youth who are active on the information highway and surf the web constantly, sending out and receiving every day prodigious numbers of electronic mail. The site would eventually be made trilingual, to feature English, Hindi, and Bengali. In attendance on the occasion was Bengal CPI (M) state secretariat member Sridip Bhattacharya.
