Bengal CPI(M) leader Mollah does not attend CPI(M) meeting
Kolkata
utspoken CPI(M) leader Rezzak Mollah did not attend a meeting today of the CPI(M) state committee, a day after party state secretary Biman Bose asked him not to air his views in public.
Left Front chairman Bose, who had summoned Mollah last night, said, 'Rezzak has regretted the comments and said it was not right for him to say such things.'
He said, 'Rezzak did not attend the meeting as he is ill.'
Mollah, a popular grassroots leader who takes pride in being the son of a farmer, had spoken his mind on Wednesday after taking oath as MLA in the Assembly.
The former land reforms minister in the erstwhile Left Front ministry, had said that had the land at Singur been returned to farmers, the Front would also have returned to power, inviting the wrath of the party again.
Mollah had also said that the acquired land could be returned to the farmers under existing laws and also offered to speak to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee about it, if invited.
He was earlier censured by the party a week ago for blaming former chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee and former Industries minister Nirupam Sen for the rout of the Front in the Assembly elections.
Mollah, a CPI(M) MLA since 1972, is one of the few former ministers of the Left Front to have been re-elected. PTI
