Mark Twain wrote quoting Disraeli in his Chapters from my Autobiography: “There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics.” It may be worthwhile to recollect this popular phrase while reflecting on the ubiquitous government sponsored advertisements in the billboards and newspapers of Kolkata, celebrating the completion of the first two years of the Trinamul Congress (TMC) government.
A delegation of AIDWA [comprising Sehba Farooqui (Gen Secretary, Delhi), Madhu Garg (President, UP), Seema Rana (Secretary, Lucknow), Asha Sharma (Working President, Delhi), Anjana Jha (Treasurer, Delhi) and Maimoona Mollah (Vice President, Delhi)], visited some of the camps set up for the riot affected people in Muzaffarnagar on October 5, 2013. The delegation met a large number of violence affected women in the camps.

First they came for the communists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.
Then they came for the socialists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Catholic.
Then they came for me,
and there was no one left to speak for me.
