| CPM doublespeak: It’s right when it is Right and wrong when it is Left

| CPM General Secretary Prakash Karat, opposing the ban on the Maoists, said on Monday that his party’s line was to fight them “politically and administratively.” However, such a battle, it seems, is not possible with Right-wing extremists.
While he talked about combating the extreme Left “politically,” he conveniently forgot the numerous occasions on which his party had demanded ban and action against organisations such as the Bajrang Dal and VHP.
Speaking hours after the Centre ordered the inclusion of CPI(Maoists) in the list of terrorist organisations, Karat said that banning such groups “doesn’t serve the purpose as they can change their name and continue functioning.”
But the CPM has consistently called for proscribing outfits such as the Sri Ram Sene and demanded stern action against Bajrang Dal and the VHP under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act — exactly the treatment the Centre gave to the Maoists.
