In a video message, Deb, currently the Lok Sabha member from Tripura West, termed the CPI(M) as "anti-national", and said that this Left party always played a negative role whenever the government took steps against unlawful or violent activities of individuals or organisations.

He said that 27 Maoists, including their General Secretary Nambala Kesavarao, were killed during an encounter with the security forces in Chhattisgarh.

Deb urged the people to see the "real face of the CPI(M), which takes a position against the nation and supports Naxals, who have killed many innocent people, politicians, and security forces, and have hindered development."

The BJP also strongly condemned such acts of the CPI(M) and urged the people to "isolate" the Left party for their "anti-national" and "anti-people" role, said Deb.

"During 'Operation Sindoor', the CPI(M) held rallies in West Bengal in favour of Pakistan. The party always speaks in favour of Pakistan and China. Playing an anti-national role, the Left party has no right to go to the people as a political party," Deb said.

The CPI(M) politburo in a statement on Thursday strongly condemned the encounter of 27 Maoists, including their General Secretary Nambala Kesavarao, in Chhattisgarh.

The Left party claimed, "Ignoring Maoists' repeated appeals for talks, the central government and the BJP-led Chhattisgarh state government have chosen not to pursue a solution through dialogue."

It said that many political parties and concerned citizens have appealed to the government to consider the request for dialogue.

"In spite of our opposition to Maoists’ politics, we urge the government to immediately accept their request for talks and halt all paramilitary operations," the CPI(M) statement stated.

Strong words from Biplab Deb ji! It's high time we recognize CPI(M)'s double standards. While they sit in air-conditioned offices, our jawans are sacrificing lives fighting Naxals. Supporting talks with those who kill innocents is unacceptable. 🇮🇳

As someone from Chhattisgarh, I've seen how Naxals destroy development projects. CPI(M)'s statement is shocking! They want talks with people who kill teachers, engineers and police officers? Shame! Our security forces did the right thing.

While I don't support Naxal violence, calling CPI(M) "anti-national" is too much. They have different political views, that's all. Democracy needs opposition voices. But yes, their support for talks with armed rebels is questionable.

Remember how CPI(M) supported China during Galwan clash? Now supporting Naxals! Their ideology comes before national interest. Time for Left parties to rethink their outdated policies if they want to remain relevant.

Both sides are politicizing this issue. BJP should focus on development in Naxal areas instead of just encounters. And CPI(M) should stop romanticizing armed struggle. We need practical solutions, not rhetoric! 🙏

As a Tripura resident, I've seen CPI(M)'s politics firsthand. They criticize everything but offer no solutions. When will they understand that Naxalism is not about ideology but pure violence? Our forces deserve praise, not criticism.
