CPM FLAYS GOVT FOR BEING SOFT ON HINDUTVA EXTREMISTS

The CPI(M), on May 13, criticised the central government for lack of firmness in dealing with Hindutva extremists and demanded a coordinated probe into the Malegaon, Hyderabad and Ajmer blasts allegedly carried out by Hindutva terrorists. “The terrorist attacks at these places must be seen as the handiwork of a network of Hindutva extremist groups. It is inexplicable why cases involving the Hindutva terrorist attacks have not been handed over for investigation by the newly set up National Investigation Agency,” said CPI(M) leader Sitaram Yechury. In the editorial of party’s organ, People’s Democracy, he says, “The UPA government has shown lack of clarity and firmness in dealing with Hindutva terror. Hopefully, the latest revelations regarding the Ajmer and Hyderabad blasts will end this pusillanimous approach”.
