KOZHIKODE: CPI(Maoist) has alleged that both

and

are "birds of a feather" while dealing with Maoists.

In a statement issued by Jogi, the spokesperson of the

Special Zonal Committee, said the CPM has become the "flag-bearer of the Maoist annihilation project launched by Centre".

Jogi's statement is the first official response to the killing of the four Maoists at Manjakkandi in Attappady in

on October 28 and 29. "The CPM and BJP speak in the same language when it comes to justifying every encounter killing," the statement said.

Jogi did not spare CPI, which came openly against the encounter, rejecting the version by chief minister

. "The revisionist CPM and CPI say that Maoist hunt is not their policy. They should make clear whether the policy is the personal agenda of Vijayan," Jogi said. "People in the country have realised your double standard long ago. This is nothing but the old policy of running the hare and hunting hounds," he said.

Jogi said that the Pinarayi government has created a new record by killing "seven communist revolutionaries" in the last three years. "The authorities that are bound to follow rules have nakedly flouted all norms. Vijayan is justifying all these acts and is leading a murderous government. The hands of this social fascist have the stains of blood of the communist revolutionaries," the statement added.
