Pranab plans protest

KOLKATA, JAN. 8. The West Bengal Pradesh Congress president, Mr. Pranab Mukherjee, would lead a `satyagraha' and sit-in demonstration of senior party leaders on January 11 before the Midnapore district magistrate's office in support of their demand for a CBI inquiry into the alleged `massacre' at Choto Angra village.

The former State Congress chief, Mr. Somen Mitra, the party general secretary, Mr. Manas Bhuniya, and other front- ranking leaders would take part and protest against the atrocities of ``armed CPI(M) hoodlums'' and police inaction.

Mr. Bhuniya said the incidents had shown that the CPI(M) was hell-bent on ``destroying the democratic structure and establishing an autocratic one-party rule''.
