A day after he laid down office, former Lok Sabha speaker Somnath Chatterjee on 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 in New Delhi.
