New Delhi, Dec 30 (IANS) Amid a row over the presence of armed cadres of Communist Party of India-Marxist in the Maoist-dominated areas in West Bengal, Home Minister P. Chidambaram Thursday invited Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee to discuss the law and order situation and the Maoist problem. “The home minister has sent two letters today in reply to the (CM’s) letter. Both letters have been faxed as well as sent by speed post,” the home ministry said in a statement.
“In the concluding part of the first letter, the home minister has invited the chief minister of West Bengal to New Delhi, at his earliest convenience, to discuss the subject and agree upon the way forward,” the ministry said.
Bhattacharjee in a letter to Chidambaram Wednesday said that his assessment of the law and order situation in the state was “far from an impartial overview”. He also questioned Chidambaram’s use of the word “harmad” for the CPI-M cadres, saying he appeared to have done so without realising the meaning of the “nasty” coinage by the Trinamool Congress.
Bhattacharya added that Chidambaram’s letter sent on Dec 21 reached the media five days before it made it to the Writers’ Buildings, the state secretariat.
