Mamata to apprise Centre about police ‘attack’ on media

Midnapore (WB),February 01:Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee tonight said she would give a report to Centre about the ‘brutal’ police lathicharge injuring several scribes and party workers in West Midnapore while rubbishing her party’s alleged links with Maoists.

Claiming that allegations about Maoist links of two arrested Trinamool men from the TC-run relief camp in West Midnapore was false, Banerjee told reporters here that “the (police) operation has been captured on video, evidences cannot lie.”

“If the two arrested Trinamool men had Maoist links then why the journalists were not allowed free movement to cover the incident and instead brutally lathicharged by the police.

This was aimed to suppress the real truth,” Banerjee said after visiting the injured at the Midnapore Medical College and Hospital.

“If there are Maoists, you take action.
