Kolkata: Left parties hold demonstration
Kolkata, Dec 11 (IBNS): Demanding safety of minorities in India and opposing communal principal of central government, 17 left parties like Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M), Communist Party of India (CPI), All India Forward Block (AIFB), Revolutionary Socialist Party (RSP), Socialist Unity Centre of India (SUCI), Communist Party of India-Marxist Leninist (CPI-ML) etc. organized a sit-in demonstration in Kolkata on Thursday.
General Secretory of West Bengal CPI-M Biman Basu, CPI-M leader and opposition party leader of West Bengal Legislative Assembly Suryakanta Mishra, RSP leader Khiti Goswami, CPI leader Manju Kumar Majumder etc joined in the protest.
Left parties' leaders and workers started a rally from Dorina crossing towards Rani Rasmoni Road. When they were entering into Rani Rasmoni Road, had been stopped by police.
Then party workers were trying to brake the barricades. When they broke one of four barricades and police force was trying to stop them, a scuffle was created between police and party workers.
But CPI-M leader Suryakanta Mishra and Biman Basu controlled the situation very fast. Kolkata Police was very patient, tolerant and calm during the protest, that's why no casualties were occurred.
Left Front chairman Biman Bose said that Trinamool Congress (TMC) government was responsible for the chaos.
"BJP is converting people into Hindu religion in secular India," he added.
Bose also appealed to the people of West Bengal to be careful and be secular and not to be trapped into any instigation.
At last he complained that a collusion was made between TMC and BJP here in Bengal.
