Basapara (Birbhum), July 28 :     Arriving here from Delhi this morning in the aftermath of yesterday's killing of 11 Trinamul supporters, Mamata Banerjee accused the CPM of targeting members of minority communities. While most male inhabitants had fled, the police continued to scour the area for people involved in yesterday's massacre. The surrounding villages were tense but a large police presence has prevented retaliation. 'They (the CPM) declare themselves secular. But they are actually killing members of minority communities,' Mamata alleged in a street-corner meeting here, about 25 km from Bolpur. 'All the 11 people killed yesterday belonged to the minority community and were innocent labourers. In Keshpur, too, they had killed six people belonging to the minority community. I had to address a similar meeting there with the bodies of six people,' she said. This area of Birbhum district has a large population of the minority community. But Mamata might have been using the opportunity provided by the incident to ingratiate herself with the community which has not been siding with her in elections because of her association with the BJP. Bengal panchayat minister Suryakanta Mishra concurred with Mamata's version and told reporters at Writers' Buildings that the victims were unarmed and did not have criminal records. 'It is also not true they were dacoits and came to raid Suchpur. It was not a political clash but purely a land dispute,'' Mishra said. He had visited Suchpur yesterday afternoon. 'Our inquiry shows that the victims came from neighbouring villages, lured by a local Trinamul activist, Babu Mian, to sow paddy seedlings in the disputed land,'' Mishra said. Local villagers attacked the outsiders to prevent the alleged attempt to sow in the disputed land. The police arrested 21 people, of whom 19 are CPM activists, the minister said. Governor Viren J. Shah, while expressing grief at the killings, appealed to all parties to maintain peace. Mamata Banerjee reached the Bolpur sub-divisional hospital at Sian where all the 11 bodies were kept at 10.45 am in a blue Sumo and met relatives of the victims. The bodies were wrapped in polythene sheets and brought here in three lorries. Later, they were covered with the Trinamul green and saffron flag. Mamata addressed the crowd from a small dais with the lorries bearing the bodies parked close by. She said: 'I have taken video recording of all the bodies. The CPM attackers had smashed the faces of all the victims after killing them. I will show this video to Delhi,' she said.
