CPI-M

Kolkata:
The students' wing of the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M)
Tuesday slammed Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi for
equating Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi with legendary
Chinese communist leader Mao Zedong.
"Such statements reveal Rahul Gandhi's erroneous and preposterous
understanding of politics," said a press statement issued by the
Students' Federation of India (SFI).
Earlier this month, Gandhi caused a political furore with his
comment: "Mao also developed China but he caused destruction to
the country too", when asked to comment on the development work
carried out by Modi in Gujrat.
The SFI said by comparing Mao with Modi, whose regime aided
"genocide" against Muslim minorities in Gujarat in 2002, "is an
affront to the struggle of toiling masses throughout the history
of humankind".
"Such an understanding can only arise from one's inability to
differentiate between the struggle against injustice and
exploitation, and attempts to flare up fascistic hatred against
religious minorities," said the statement.
