Kolkata: A West Bengal minister on Friday claimed
that Maoist posters threatening his life were recovered from
Khadya Bhavan, the headquarters of the state's food department
here.
"I have no idea how the posters entered my office
threatening my life and warning Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee
for opening food outlets in Junglemahal," West Bengal Food
Minister Jyotipriya Mullick told reporters.
The minister, however, said threats "could not stop the
peace process".
He said 53 food outlets had been set up in Junglemahal
with seven in Ayodhya hills in Purulia district and 47 more to
be opened soon to provide subsidised foodgrains to the people
in the Maoist-affected area.
