The Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi attacked the Communist Party of India (Marxist) on Sunday, saying that the language used by them is similar to that of terrorists. He was reacting to a speech made by CPI(M)'s Idukki district secretary M M Mani, in which he stated that there had been instances of the party eliminating political rivals.
'When a leader of a political party says that we murder our political rivals, it is dangerous to our democracy. Where is NHRC? We should raise our voice against such acts. Our workers keep giving their lives in Kerala,' Modi said, asking the National Human Rights Commission to take notice of the statement.
'Is the government in Delhi sleeping? And, what is the Kerala government doing on the issue,' Modi remarked. 'This language is the same as that of terrorists, Maoists and Naxalists,' he further said.
Mani's speech sparked a raging political row in the country with the Congress and the BJP saying that it exposed CPI(M)'s 'politics of violence'.
