NEW DELHI: The CPI-M on Friday asked the UPA government to show "political will" and take action on reported links between Trinamool Congress and Maoists in West Bengal.
In a letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, senior party leader Brinda Karat referred to a report in a daily on Friday claiming links between a Trinamool MP and Maoists, including supplying of arms and ammunition to the extremists.
"A day after your initiative in calling a meeting of chief ministers of Maoist-affected states comes fresh evidence of the direct contacts and support to the Maoists by leaders of a party which is part of the ruling alliance and also represented in the Central Cabinet," she said.
