On Board Air India One: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said Saturday that the home ministry was looking into Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee’s complaints that central forces were being misused in Maoist-affected areas in West Bengal.
“I am aware of those complaints. The home ministry is looking into it,” the prime minister said on his way back from a tour of Japan, Malaysia and Vietnam.
Banerjee, Trinamool Congress chief and a key ally of the ruling Congress, has threatened to take to the streets if the central forces are not withdrawn from Maoist-affected areas of the Left-ruled state where assembly elections are due next year.
