Kolkata: The West Bengal government on Monday said the open letter to Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee suggesting talks with the Maoists seemed to have been sent by their top leader Kishenji, but probably not written by him as he cannot write Bengali.

"Overall, it seems to be Kishenji's letter but may not have been written by him. We are probing who wrote on his behalf as Kishenji cannot write Bengali," state Home Secretary Ardhendu Sen said today quoting intelligence officials.

Sen said the state government had procured a copy of the letter from a TV channel.

Commenting on Kishenji's suggestion for talks to Banerjee, he said the matter rested with the Centre and not with the state government which had not made any offer of talks to the Maoist leader.

Asked about Kishenji's suggestion to the Trinamool supremo for not taking any security escort while meeting him, the Home Secretary said, "If the addressee of the letter approaches the state government for advice, we will explore and talk to the Centre."

P.Sundaram -
All hard core communist parties are living on the secret help of so called democratic communist party(s) and their associates that had never recognised or participated in the `independance and freedom struggle/movement of India` . Moreover, from the very begining they are supporting Stalin and Mao and other foreigner rather than Indian freedom fighters and Educationists etc. So, nobody should plead for the anti Indian, anti constitutionalists outfit who work for their own reign not for society.

In case the Mamta meets Kishenji, opening dialogue between them will be like this - Kishenji : Kya Behenji, hamne aapki madad ki, aur aap hamko military bhej diya. Mamta : Arre Bhai, sabar karo, ye thoda din ka natak hai. Thoda din ke bad security forces vapas jayegi. Bus, aap hamesha hamara saath dethe rehna``. Now you know who has written the letter!
