Describing those responsible for the alleged attack on a family of CPI-M supporters, including a toddler, in North 24-Parganas district as 'slaughterers', CPI-M leader Surya Kanta Mishra today said that the chief minister should immediately order for their immediate arrest.
Alleging that the attackers were linked to the Trinamool Congress and calling them 'slaughterers', Mishra said, "It's heart-rending to see that a family and a three-and-a-half-year -old baby were attacked."
"It showed how far these slaughters can go... I believe the chief minister must listen to the family's allegations and immediately pass on orders to arrest them to send out a message to the common people... Otherwise it will be proved that she is the principal representative of these slaughters," Mishra said.
Mishra described this as a 'resistance' and congratulated the mother of the child for casting votes despite the attack.
"I believe this is a sign of resistance that the common people are putting up," he said.
The CPI-M state secretary expressed confidence about the success of the party in the election, saying "after the first three phases of polling we said that we will surely win in over 100 seats but after today's polls we aim for 200... And the alliance of the people is heading towards that.
