Kolkata:
Trinamool Congress on Friday said it will move a court against CPI (M) Politburo member Sitaram Yechuri for a forthcoming editorial in the party organ 'People's Democracy' for allegedly defaming the party.
Trinamool Congress general secretary Mukul Roy told newsmen that in the editorial, Yechuri had quoted an SMS received from a person which said Trinamool Congress stood for 'Train Mishap Congress.'
Roy claimed copies of the editorial were circulated by email to a section of the media.
"We will move court against the writer of the editorial because it has caused injury to the party's image," Roy said.
Describing the editorial as a 'sinister design,' he charged CPI (M) has taken to character assassination.
