The
Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) issued the following
statement on September 26, 2005.
THE
Polit Bureau denounces the slanderous allegation against Pramode Dasgupta, one
of the founding leaders of the CPI(M) in the book ‘The Mitrokhin Archive and
the Secret History of the KGB’. The ridiculous charge that Pramode Dasgupta
was an agent of the Indian Intelligence Bureau is nothing but an attempt to
defame a leader who was the builder of the CPI(M) in West Bengal. The veracity
of the anti-communist material can be judged by the absurdity of this charge
This malicious attempt has been met with outrage in democratic and progressive circles. The Polit Bureau has fully endorsed the stand taken by the West Bengal State Committee to file defamation suits against the newspaper which published this news and the publishers of the book.
