[Reader-list] COM. AJIT SARKAR'S MURDERERS CONVICTED

[TaraPrakash]

Interestingly, the statement is so silent on those who are trying to protect 
the murderers of Mr. Sarkar and those who are part of the cabinet, courtesy 
support of Capitalist Party of India (Murderers).
As about Com. Sarkar's wife joining the ML, Com. Sarkar himself wouldn't 
have stuck with version 2 of the CPI(M) for long.

I am whole-heartedly with the last part of the statement, "Long Live Comrade 
Ajit Sarkar!" However, does it really go along with CPI(M) and RJD nexus?
