RAIPUR: Communist Party of India (Marxist) Polit Bureau member Brinda Karat, who visited the violence-hit areas of Bastar in Chhattisgarh, said that there was a well-planned conspiracy behind the attack on tribal Christians and urged the Congress government to depute a team of ministers to monitor the situation, assess the losses and to provide compensation to the victims.
Talking to reporters after her three-day visit to Kanker, Kondagaon and Narayanapur districts in the Bastar region, she said the recent incidents of violence of communal nature were designed to weaken the united movement of tribals against mining projects which are being opposed by tribals in Narayanpur. She said it was essential for the government to hold gram sabha meetings as mandated by law.
