Ensure Trinamool not helping Maoists, CPI-M to Chidambaram
April 5th, 2010 - 9:41 pm ICT by IANSKolkata, April 5(IANS) West Bengal’s ruling Left Front major Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) Monday asked union Home Minister P.Chidambaram to ensure that United Progressive Alliance (UPA) partner Trinamool Congress was not hand in glove with the Maoist ultras.
Reacting to Chidambaram’s call at Lalgarh Sunday that every party should start political activities in the Maoist belt, CPI-M central committee member Mohd Salim said: “We do agree with it but what will he say to the UPA’s major ally Trinamool Congress, who has formed an unholy nexus with Maoists?”
“Will he ask them to protest against the Maoist menace? One of the Trinamool Lok Sabha members is protesting against the anti-Maoist joint security operation, reciting songs in favour of Chattradhar Mahato,” Salim told media persons here.
The CPI-M leader also expressed his ire at Chidambaram’s comment that the “buck stops at the chief minister’s table” regarding the inter-party clashes in the state. “We know that he has a fascination for American accent,” Salim said in a sarcastic vein.
Salim alleged the Trinamool Congress was operating alongside the Maoists in perpetrating violence across the state.
“It is really hard to differentiate between the violence unleashed by the Trinamool and that let loose by the Maoists. In most of the places they are operating jointly,” he said.
