The Communist Party of India (Marxist) on Friday asked the government to take action against leaders of the Trinamool Congress, a constituent of the ruling United Progressive Alliance at the Centre, for their alleged direct links and support to Maoists.
Drawing attention to a news report of July 16 here, party Polit Bureau member and MP Brinda Karat said it gave details of the ‘links' between an elected MP of the Trinamool and the Maoists.
In a letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, she said that a day after he called a meeting of the Chief Ministers of Maoist-affected States, fresh evidence of such contacts came up. Enclosing a copy of the report published in the Mail Today , she said it gave details of the ‘links' between a Trinamool MP and the Maoists in the Nandigram area of West Bengal.
“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 said.
