NEW DELHI - A day after he laid down office, former Lok Sabha speaker Somnath Chatterjee Friday asserted that communism was no political party’s ‘monopoly’ and said he continued to be a comrade.
‘Communism is no party’s monopoly. I am still a communist,’ the veteran politician, who was expelled from the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M), told reporters here.
Asked if he was still a comrade, the former speaker laughed and said: ‘Even you are a comrade.’
