The CPI(M) on Thursday accused the TMC of inflicting “unprecedented” violence on left cadre in West Bengal, resulting in the murder of 183 left workers and fatal injuries to more than 2,000 people for the past five years. CPI(M) leaders also blamed the Centre for “going slow” in several CBI- ED probes including Saradha scam against TMC leaders.
“The TMC, backed by the government and large section of police, has unleashed violence against left workers and those sections who oppose and dissent (against it)...We not seen such large scale attack against any political party in the history of Independent India,” CPI(M) Politburo member Brinda Karat told reporters here.
“The Central Government intervenes in almost every issue...But on the issue of CBI enquiry against West Bengal leaders is not happening. So, it is clear the Modi Government is trying to save these leaders,” she alleged.
