In a staunch message, Home Minister P Chidambaram said on Wednesday that no Cabinet minister was a supporter of Naxal violence, apparently disregarding the charges that Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee was sympathising with Maoists. Answering to supplementaries during Question Hour in Rajya Sabha, he said a group of people from West Midnapore district in West Bengal formed a group to protest against police atrocities. He said that one or two of his Cabinet colleagues visited the area in order to talk to that group to find out what their complaint was against the police. Chidambaram, however, did not name the ministers. The ministers had met the group believing it had nothing to do with CPI-Maoist. But once it was discovered that it was a CPI-Maoist front organisation, they disassociated. He said the ministers had never supported Naxal. They are totally against (Naxal) violence. The Home Minister also said it was only a perception that ministers were supporting the Naxal movemen
