PCC demands inclusion of Nandigram Martyrs' names in Obit list

Kolkata, June 30 (UNI) The West Bengal Congress will appeal to Speaker Hasim Abdul Halim for inclusion of the Nandigram and Singur martyrs' names in the obituary list on the opening day of the Assembly session on July 2.

''We will also appeal to the Speaker for a statement from Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee explaining the role and credibility of the CID,'' CLP leader Manas Bhuiya told newsmen here.

He said after the CBI arrested CPI(M) leader Debu Malik for the Tapashi Malik murder case, the Chief Minister and state party secretary Biman Bose said, ''Law takes its own course.'' But when party's zonal committee secretary in Hooghly district Suhrid Dutta was arrested, veteran Marxist leader Jyoti Basu and party's Central committee member Binoy Konar said it was a political conspiracy, Mr Bhuiya stated.

He also said chargesheet was yet to be submitted against those ten, arrested by the CBI at Jananai brick kiln in Nandigram.

''We feel the ruling government will put pressure on the CBI to protect the Tapashi killers,'' he said.
