NEW DELHI: The CPI-M on Friday asked the UPA government to show "political will" and take action on reported links between Trinamool Congress and Maoists in West Bengal.
In a letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, senior party leader Brinda Karat referred to a report in a daily on Friday claiming links between a Trinamool MP and Maoists, including supplying of arms and ammunition to the extremists.
"A day after your initiative in calling a meeting of chief ministers of Maoist-affected states comes fresh evidence of the direct contacts and support to the Maoists by leaders of a party which is part of the ruling alliance and also represented in the Central Cabinet," she said.
Enclosing a copy of the report, she said it gave details of the links between an MP of the Trinamool Congress and the Maoists in the Nandigram area of West Bengal, including the supply of arms and ammunition to the Maoists.
Maintaining that the CPI-M had written to him earlier "with evidence of these links", Karat said "in view of the fresh disclosures, I hope the Central government will show the political will to take appropriate action in the national interest."
The report had quoted records of interrogation of an accused in the Jnaneshwari train accident case.
