As I mentioned before the whole thing has become political with so many names being dragged into. Dr.Sen has been accused as naxalite/maoist etc etc.People who are making the comments do not have a clue as to how it is to work in the tribal areas as doctor. I speak from personal experience. In many of our states(I am delibrately not mentioning the states) where there are tribal population it is pathetic to see how they have been abused.In one of the areas I worked I watched with helplessness as the locals have been exploited by buisenessmen and other organisations. A basket of fruits were brought for Rs.2 from these people and were sold for Rs.50 or more. You dare not speak against any one as you would be targetted and be branded as an extremist/ maoist/ naxalite.You just remain a mute spectator.The dynamics in these localities are very different from what we see in cities.Dr.Sen has been a pediatrician serving these people.I appeal to all to look at him as an example of someone who shunned lucrative opportunities and continued to serve the people. Just look at what he has done in these areas. Yes people are accusing him as a maoist etc. But he is not guilty till proven and the government has not proved it for more then one year.The tragedy is that it has now become a political issue and a case of one man upmanship. There is also a journalist who has been detained under the same laws. This is no different from Gm bay. Our voice is against illegal detention without conviction.

John Mukala, "Our voice is against illegal detention without conviction." How is the detention illegal? The case is going on in the court. Sen and his stooges tried for bail but it was rejected by the honorable court. Message to all naxal sympathizers- Respect the verdict of the court and stop whining.
