RSS has spread its presence in West Bengal with Mamata Banerjee's help: CPI-M

Kolkata: Blaming West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee for Murshidabad violence, CPI-M state secretary Mohammed Salim said on Sunday that RSS has spread its presence in Bengal like never before with the help of Banerjee. Addressing a mega rally at the Brigade Parade Ground here, he said the CM has teamed up with RSS.

"Banerjee is close to RSS and RSS supports her. In the past few years, it has been spreading its strength and branches in Bengal like never before," Salim claimed. "Every day, there is some drama unfolding by BJP and Trinamool. In the drama between the Bengal BJP and Trinamool, the real script has been written by RSS. RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat recently visited the state and now you can see the situation," he said, adding both these parties are taking Bengal to a situation where "unity, harmony, justice and everything have been attacked. We have to change direction".

CPI-M DEMANDS JUDICIAL PROBE

Salim demanded a judicial probe into the violence. "A judicial probe will not be demanded by BJP or Trinamool. There should be proper rehabilitation and compensation of these common people," Salim said. "It is not a fight between a temple and mosque. Look at Bangladesh, what happened? We will not allow Murshidabad to be a place where minorities are diminished."
