‘Left-Maoist plot to kill Mamata’: CPM to examine merit for defamation

Meanwhile,Trinamool Congress voiced concern about her security.

“She (Mamata) is a mass leader. She likes to mix with the people. The security agencies know all these and hope that they will do the needful,” said state Urban Development Minister Firad Hakim.

“The Maoists and the CPM are against her life,it is known to everyone. And they want to kill the democracy,kill the progress,” he said in Kolkata.

Hakim did not want to go into the details into the allegation that the CPM and the Maoists are receiving funds for their campaign. He,however,said there is some funding to these organisations.

Mamata launched the tirade against the CPM when asked about the recent cartoon row by US daily Washington Post for an article.

She said her Marxist political opponents were plotting with the Maoist rebels to discredit and kill her,in league with Pakistan’s intelligence agency and financed by North Korea,Venezuela and Hungary. “They have given me the death sentence,and every day they are spreading this superimposed photo,on Facebook,on Internet or in the e-mail,through some false,camouflaged name,” she said.
