Mamata remembers Nandigram martyrs in Singur

Singur, Mar 19 (UNI) Daring the Left Front Government to face the people, Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee today said her movement would continue till Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee resigned.

''The Government will not be able to suppress the people's movement with the help of the gun. Our movement will continue till the Government returns all acquired agricultural land and the Chief Minister resigns,'' she said while observing 'Martyrs' Day for the Nandigram victims.

Her visit was preceded by an attack on a computer and tailoring training school, aided by Tata Motors by some people.

Visiting Gopal Nagar-Purba para, she lit a candle commemmorating those killed in March 14 police firing.

''It is the respect of the people of Singur to those killed in Nandigram,'' Ms Banerjee, who had been opposing the Tata Motors's small car project, said.

She was accompanied by the party's Rajya Sabha member Mukul Roy and a few other leaders.

All of them later placed wreaths at a 'Martyrs' memorial.

She announced that a similar programme would be held at Nandigram tomorrow as a mark of respect to the 'struggling farmers' of Singur.

Trouble broke out in Beraberi, another village in the Singur area when a group of guardians broke the signboard of Suryanarayan School. They were demanding that the computer and tailoring centre, housed in the school be closed.

They also entered into a scuffling with police, who subsequently had to leave the place at the instance of the Headmaster.

The guardians, whose wards were students of the school, alleged that the presence of ''outsiders'', being trained up in the centre by the Tatas, was hampering the studies of other students.

The centre was started by Tata Motors to impart training to the members of the those families which had to give away their land for the small car project.
