Mangalkote (West Bengal), Aug 11 - Trinamool Congress chief and Railways Minister Mamata Banerjee Tuesday challenged West Bengal's Left Front government to get the Central Bureau of Investigation to probe the murder of a CPI-M leader here.

The June 16 murder of Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) district committee member Falguni Mukherjee triggered widespread violence in this trouble-torn block of Burdwan district.

'Let the (Central Bureau of Investigation) CBI probe the Falguni Mukherjee murder. If they (the CPI-M-led Left Front government) have the guts, they should take up the challenge by initiating steps in this direction,' Banerjee told a rally at Khudrun near here.

After Mukherjee's murder, several opposition leaders, including Trinamool leader in the assembly Partha Chattopadhyay and Congress legislature party chief Manas Bhuniya, have faced the wrath of CPI-M cadres whenever they tried to go to the area.

Alleging that the CPI-M activists were committing murders, Banerjee said: 'We want everybody perpetrating violence to be brought to book, irrespective of whether they belong to the CPI-M, Congress or to our party.
