Trinamool brass visits Lalgarh
Tight security covers odd fireworks. Top leaders of the Trinamool Congress, including two Union ministers, on Tuesday visited Lalgarh and called for an end to the operations by joint state and central forces against the Maoists.
Heavily escorted by policemen, the team visited interiors of Lalgarh and met the villagers. The leaders, who alleged police atrocities, stated that a report will be sent to the Union Home Ministry through Trinamool chief and Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee.
“The operations must stop now. There is no need of a joint operation in Lalgarh. The need of the hour is development. The state government should help out the poor distressed people. We will submit a report to Mamata Banerjee. Later, a report will also be sent to the Union home ministry,” said Union Minister of State for Rural Development Sisir Adhikary.
IMO: Seems the right thing to do, and in a way it is bizarre that CPI(M) complain (doubtless they will) as it is not long ago since CPI(M) and the Maoists were the same party. Didi seems to be clearly setting her sights on the forthcoming West Bengal Assembly elections in 2011.
