| New Delhi, July 16: The Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) today asked Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to show political will and take appropriate action against the Trinamool Congress leaders who have "direct contacts" with and "support" the Maoists in West Bengal.
"A day after your initiative in calling a meeting of chief ministers of Maoist affected states comes fresh evidence of the direct contacts and support to the Maoists by leaders of a party which is part of the ruling alliance and also represented in the central cabinet," said CPI-M politburo member Brinda Karat in a letter to the prime minister.
Karat, who is also a Rajya Sabha MP, enclosed in the letter a copy of the front page report of a tabloid, "which gives details of the links between an elected MP of the Trinamool Congress and the Maoists in the Nandigram area of West Bengal including the supply of arms and ammunition to the Maoists".
"My party has written to you with evidence of these links on an earlier occasion also. In view of the fresh disclosures, I hope the central government will show the political will to take appropriate action in the national interest," she wrote. (IANS) |
