New Delhi, October 15
The CPI(M) today denied that the deposed Censor Board Chairman, Anupam Kher, had been described as an “RSS man” in the party mouthpiece and said the actor was only referred to as an appointee of the NDA government.
The party’s denial came a day after Kher accused the
CPI (M) of being responsible for his ouster from the post and announced that he had slapped a legal notice on the party’s general secretary Harkishan Singh Surjeet for having implied in ‘People’s Democracy’ that he was an “RSS man’’.
“He (Kher) was not described as an RSS man. The article in our party mouthpiece referred to him as an appointee of the previous government,”
CPI (M) Politburo member and People’s Democracy editor Sitarma Yechuri said here.
