Mamata informs PMO about Nandigram
Kolkata,
Nov
12:
Trinamool
Congress
supremo
Mamata
Banerjee
today
said
she
had
informed
the
Prime
Minister's
Office
(PMO)
about
the
"anarchy-like" situation
in
Nandigram
and
pledged
her
support
to
tomorrow's
bandh,
called
by
the
Congress,
SUCI
and
the
BJP.
Talking
to
newsmen
at
Tamluk
in
East
Midnapore,
where
she
had
been
camping
on
her
way
to
Nandigram,
Ms
Banerjee
said,
"
Tomorrow
an
NDA
team
under
Leader
of
Opposition
in
Lok
Sabha
L
K
Advani
is
supposed
to
go
to
strife-torn
Nandigram.
"
"
I
have
sent
a
request
to
Prime
Minister
Manmohan
Singh,
presently
in
Moscow,
and
Congress
president
Sonia
Gandhi
to
come
and
see
the
silent
sufferings
of
the
people
in
Nandigram,
"
she
added.
Demanding the sacking of the Left Front government for the "state-sponsored" terrorism, Ms Banerjee iterated that Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee had lost all rights to remain in the saddle and the people were running out of patience.
" I know that Mr Bhattacharjee is continuing under political compulsion, but the compulsion should never be at the cost of human lives, " she asserted.
Reiterating of not calling a bandh tomorrow, she said, " We have called 'Bangla Achal' (Paralyse the state), equivalent to non-cooperation to the government, but we are cooperating whole heartedly with the people. " The Trinamool Congress supremo asserted that she would join the "Mahamichil" (Great Rally) to be organised by the intellectuals on November 14 highlighting tha cause of Nandigram.
" I have also requested my party workeres to maintain peace while observing our programme, " she said and further alleged that the CRPF and the media persons were prevented from entering Nandigram because the CPI (M) cadres were busy removing the arms and the dead bodies.
Saluting the people of Nandigram, she recounted the historical significance of Nandigram under Mahishadal sub-division, which was one of the three places after Satara and Balia from where the independent India 's flag was hoisted even before the Independence.
