Kolkata: On Monday, Abdul
Mannan, leader of Congress Legislative Party (CLP) said party
president Sonia Gandhi, while leaving it to the state unit to decide on
the future of Left-Congress alliance in Bengal, has agreed to his proposal that
all secular and democratic parties should unitedly fight against the terror
allegedly unleashed by Trinamool Congress.
Mannan, who met Sonia
in New Delhi on Monday said, “It was my first visit to Delhi after I was
elected the CLP leader. I paid her a courtesy visit. I also discussed instances
of violence after poll results were announced. Besides, I presented to her a
detailed documented report to apprise her of the situation in Bengal.”
Asked what was
discussed about the future of the Left-Congress alliance in the state, he said:
“I suggested that all secular and democratic parties should unitedly fight
against Trinamool-sponsored terror and she had given her consent.”
The CPM, meanwhile,
has reportedly received letters from its local committee members, criticising
the alliance. In a letter dated May 21 written to state CPM secretary Dr Surjya
Kanta Mishra, members of Panihati Local Committee and Belgharia Local Committee
have termed the electoral understanding with Congress as an “unholy alliance”.
As per EXIN Times,
Senior CPM leader Rabin Deb, said, “Our party is democratic, where everyone is
allowed to voice their grievance. But at the same time, if you have a copy of
the letter, it is a breach of party conduct. The opinions, however, are of the
individual and not of the committees’.
According to EXIN
Times, both Mishra and Deb said joint protests by Left and Congress members
against state-sponsored atrocities would continue.
