Trinamool's red star

The Communist Party of India (Marxist) has finally found what it was looking for — clinching evidence of the Trinamool Congress’ links with the Naxals and, ironically, it has been provided by the party’s own MP, Kabir Suman . His new book Nishaner Naam Tapasi Malik has just hit the shelves and contains references to such links in land agitations like Singur. On Thursday, CPI(M) Politburo member Sitaram Yechury submitted a memorandum on the Trinamool-Naxal nexus to the home minister, and the book happens to be one of the exhibits. He even offered to have the book translated. At any rate, with Assembly elections round the corner, there will be no dearth of agents to promote Suman’s book, wittingly or unwittingly.
