Nandigram perpetrated by 'central-protected murderers':bjp

New Delhi, Nov 11: Condemning the violence let loose on poor inhabitants of Nandigram as 'barbaric act of Central-protected murderers(CPM)', BJP president Rajnath Singh today constituted a high-level team of party MPs to study the issue.

BJP vice-president Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said that the party president was expecting the panel to visit the troubled spot very soon and to submit its report in three or four days. The team members would be announced either today or tomorrow, he added.

Mr Naqvi said it was unfortunate that the Centre was not doing anything to help the uprooted poor and protect them from the mayhem and murder committed by the CPM goons. The inaction by the tottering coalition was only to save itself and earn the sympathy of the Left parties, he alleged.

The killings were happening on-and-off for over nine months and the government was doing nothing to drill sense into the mind of the West Bengal government, he added.

The Centre has the responsibility to protect life, dignity and honour of the poor citizens and they can not adopt selective justice dispensation, he said. The Centre should put down the violence with an iron hand, Mr Naqvi advised.
