Kolkata, Aug 06: Expressing concern over the fresh
outbreak of violence at Nandigram where a local party
secretary was shot dead today, the CPI-M alleged the Trinamool
Congress and Maoists had colluded to unleash terror in a new
form there.
Accusing Trinamool Congress and Maoists of launching
attacks against CPI-M leaders at Nandigram where anti-SEZ
protesters have locked horns with Left activists, CPI-M state
secretary Biman Bose, in a statement here, called upon the
people of the state to resist attempts to create chaos.
He said to damage the Left movement, Trinamool Congress
and Maoists operating in Nandigram "were resorting to the
politics of killing of individuals".
This was being done to divert the attention of the people
at a time when the Left Front has been undertaking campaign
against various policies of the UPA government, he said.
Trouble erupted again in Nandigram today when a CPI-M
local committee secretary was shot dead during an exchange of
fire between Trinamool Congress and CPI-M activists at
Rajaramchak village near here.
Eastern Frontier Rifles jawans rushed to the spot with
police and used lathis to disperse the warring groups, the
police said.
