Khanakul (WB): Trinamool Congress chief
Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday claimed that the CPI-M was importing
Maoists from Nepal and providing them with arms to terrorise
the people.
"The CPI-M is bringing Maoists from Nepal and supplying
arms to them. The CPI(M) and the Maoists are twin brothers.
They were resorting to killings to terrorise people. Both of
them are killers and both have no place in the land of West
Bengal," she told a party rally here.
The rally was held amid tight security with a large
contingent of policemen being deployed in and around the venue
of the meeting at Garbari math in Hooghly district where
clashes broke out between Trinamool and CPI(M) supporters at
two places -- Kable More and Champadanga -- ahead of the
meeting.
Calling the CPI(M) and the Maoists a danger for
democracy, Banerjee called upon people to reject the both 'to
save the country'.
The Railway Minister before concluding her speech asked
her party supporters to shout in chorus with the slogan 'Lal
Hatao, Desh Bachao, Mao Hatao Desh Bachao') (Remove both the
Left parties and the Maoists to save the country.
