MALDA, Feb. 26: Protesting against a section of the CPI-M leadership allegedly backing Chhatra Parishad supporters who assaulted Mr Sariful Sheikh, an SFI leader, party activists ransacked the CPI-M Kaliachak zonal party office and locked it last evening. The office remained locked today.
According to the SFI activists, they had urged the CPI-M leadership to talk to police against the Chhatra Parishad supporters after the incident but instead of helping them, they were siding with the CP supporters. As a result although police arrested two CP activists on Tuesday night, the two got bail from Malda court.
Aggrieved over the incident, the SFI workers stormed the party office and threatened the CPI-M leaders including Enamul Hoque, local committee secretary, and Mr Farijuddin, another party worker with dire consequences for backing the CP discreetly.
The victim, Mr Sheikh, said that the CPI-M zonal committee members were indulging in a divide and rule game, creating factional feud within the SFI.
The Malda CPI-M district secretary, Mr Jiban Moitra, however, diluted the incident: "The SFI leaders did not ransack and lock the office. They had come to express grievance against police as the police failed to arrest the main accused. Some outsiders entered the office with them and created problem.” n SNS
