Kolkata: CPM to hold rally against US today

Kolkata: The Communist Party of India (Marxist) will be holding a mega rally in Kolkata on Saturday against what it likes to call the "imperialist designs of the US".

The rally seems to be a counter to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's invitation to US President Barack Obama for an upcoming festival.

More than one lakh party supporters are expected to join the rally which will begin in the afternoon.
