Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee appealed to the Centre to halt anti-Maoist operations in the state, alleging that the ruling CPI(M) was conducting its own operation in its garb.
I urge the Centre to stop the joint-operations because in its name, the CPI(M) is conducting its own operations. I will meet Prime Minister Mammohan Singh and appeal to him. He is a good man. I believe he will listen, Ms. Banerjee told a rally here.
The rally was held to mark Martyrs Day to commemorate the 13 Youth Congress workers killed in police firing on this day in 1993. Ms. Banerjee was the Youth Congress president at the time.
Atrocities were being committed on tribals in the name of joint-operations at the behest of the CPI(M), she alleged.
The CPI(M) was supplying arms to party cadres in the name of joint-operations and setting up camps in Lalgarh and Salboni to terrorise people, Ms. Banerjee claimed.
