Press Statement

 

Prakash Karat, General Secretary of Communist Party of India (Marxist), has issued the following statement:

 

A lot of speculation is going on in the media regarding the position of the Speaker of the Lok Sabha, Comrade Somnath Chatterjee.

We do not want the office of the Speaker being dragged into any unnecessary controversy.
