Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee today claimed that the CPI(M) was importing Naxalites from Nepal and providing them with arms to terrorise the people.
“The CPI(M) is bringing Naxalites from Nepal and supplying arms to them. The CPI(M) and the Naxalites 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 Naxalites a danger for democracy, Banerjee called upon people to reject the both “to save the country”.
