Mamata to file suit against CPI(M), Bhattacharjee for defaming Trinamool | The Trinamool Congress will file a defamation suit against the CPI(M) and West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee for equating the party with the Maoists. Trinamool Congress leader Mamata Banerjee today said in Kolkata that
Bhattacharya should not attack another political party without responsibility
or sense of discretion. Addressing a public rally, Banerjee said the Trinamool
will take recourse to law on the issue. Earlier too, the Trinamool Congress had
filed defamation suits against the CPI(M), she pointed out, adding that the Trinamool
believed in Gandhism and socialism but that did not mean the party harboured hatred
towards supporters of Lenin or Marx. However, she stated, there was a clear difference
between the policy of the Trinamool Congress and that of the Maoists. She said
MP Kalyan Banerjee, the head of the Trinamul Congress's legal cell, would take
legal action against the CPI(M) on this. Banerjee said violence was at its peak
in West Bengal right now. Police personnel were being victimized and killed by
CPI(M) cadres or the Maoists. Law and order had touched a low point. She alleged
that Bhattacharya's provocative statements against the Maoists in West Midnapore
had caused the killing of four EFR jawans in Jamboni yesterday. She said her party
was against atrocities of all kinds be it by the police, the para-military forces
or even the Maoists. Banerjee said she was not in favour of the joint para-military
operations in West Midnapore. Ahead of the rally, Banerjee joined party supporters
in a procession from College Square in North Kolkata to Esplanade in Central Kolkata,
where the rally was held. |
