New tape adds to Tapas’ woes

Tapas Pal was embroiled in fresh trouble after another video tape emerged on Tuesday showing him asking party supporters to slit the throats of Opposition workers.

“I am saying this… those who kill people can’t be humans… as long as I am with you, don’t spare any CPI(M) worker. I am telling my boys,” Mr. Pal is heard telling people at a village in Nadia district. “I am also telling women that you must be aware of kitchen vegetable cutters [boti]. Just slit their throats with them.”
