Marxists' fight against BJP tactical: Pranab
Kolkata
Jan. 4.
The senior Congress leader, Pranab Mukherjee, today said the CPI(M)'s fight against the BJP was ``tactical'' and dictated by the party's own needs and compulsions.
Rebutting the CPI(M)'s criticism of the Congress' role in fighting communalism, he said the Marxists did not have ``the sole agency'' to take on communalists.
Mr. Mukherjee told reporters that the biggest betrayal of the cause of secularism was by the Marxists who made ``all sorts of compromises''.
Saying that the CPI(M)'s fight against the BJP was dictated by its own political compulsions, he asked ``what prompted the CPI(M) to bring a no-confidence motion against the Narasimha Rao Government along with the BJP in July, 1993, particularly when the BJP's curve was rising in electoral terms in the wake of the Babri Masjid demolition in December 1992.''
``The Marxist leaders owe an explanation for this,'' Mr. Mukherjee, who is the West Bengal Pradesh Congress president, said.
