“Trinamool trying to fish in troubled waters’’

Atul Kumar Anjan, Central Secretary, CPI

How do you view the Maoist violence in Bengal and Jharkhand?

Violence is violence and whoever the perpetrator, it cannot be justified. It should be condemned in the harshest of words. But the way it is being politicised is unfortunate. The Trinamool Congress’ actions reek of electoral opportunism.

Mamata has called for banning CPI Maoists and CPM in Bengal. Your comments?

She is doing this political stunt keeping in mind the Assembly elections. She is a politician and has the right to demand this. But in this case, it is outrageous. CPM is in electoral politics and the demand itself is laughable. The demand becomes ironic when she supports the cause of People’s Committee Against Police Atrocities that hijacked the train, This group is based in Lalgarh. There is a need for proper enquiry into the matter.

The Centre says the West Bengal government is not serious about the implementation of Forest Act.

This is preposterous. The accusation falls flat on its face. We have done a lot to give the tribals ownership rights over their land.

It also wants you to appeal to the Maoists to lay down their arms.

We are all for it. They should shun violence and come for talks.
