CPI(M) slams BJP for lodging police complaints against ex-CM Manik Sarkar
Manik Sarkar has been booked for calling a “Jangi-type” protests to oust the BJP government to prevent its atrocious, anti-people and divisive policies
The CPI(M) has strongly criticized the BJP for filing police complaints against former Chief Minister Manik Sarkar following his remarks at a rally. Political observers claim the BJP is targeting the CPI(M) veteran over his purported statement advocating for protests to remove the ruling party's administration. The BJP asserts that the term "Jangi" used by Mr. Sarkar refers to militancy and violence, alleging that the CPI(M) resorted to violent tactics in the past to gain political advantage.
The saffron party has vehemently rejected the CPI(M) leader's assertion that the police complaints are a ploy to divert public attention from pressing issues. Former Deputy Speaker of the State Assembly and senior CPI(M) leader Pabitra Kar argued that the party is engaging in a futile political exercise, as the public is aware of the BJP's rhetoric and will not be misled by such claims. He emphasized that people can distinguish real issues from the party's hyperbolic rhetoric.
