Bomb Attack On CPM Office In Coinbatore

Unidentified persons hurled a petrol bomb at the district CPI(M) office in Coimbatore early on Saturday, prompting condemnation from opposition parties in the state. Though nobody was injured in the incident, a car parked there was partially damaged.

The CPI(M) blamed 'Hindutva' activists for the attack and claimed it was a "continuation" of the recent attempt to attack party General Secretary Sitaram Yechury in Delhi.

DMK Working President and Tamil Nadu Opposition Leader M K Stalin strongly condemned the attack on the Left party's office. He alleged "evil forces" were trying to resort to violence and affect law and order in the state and urged the state government to bring the culprits to the book.
