Bengal CM Adhikari vows fresh FIRs in Nandigram case
The Story in Brief
West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari on Tuesday, 10 November, announced his government will reopen cases related to the 2007 Nandigram violence, promising fresh FIRs and stringent legal action against several former CPI(M) leaders. Addressing a gathering at Gokulnagar on the 19th anniversary of 'Operation Suryodaya', he said the CID probe under the erstwhile TMC regime never reached a complete judicial process.
He named CPI(M) leaders Abhay Ghosh, Manoranjan Patra, Tapan Ghosh and Himanshu Das, among others. Adhikari alleged 11 people were abducted, killed and their bodies dumped in the sea. He put the number of martyrs at 41 and said his government provided Rs 4 lakh compensation per victim's family and jobs to nine members. The move marks a renewed political and legal push by the BJP government, according to PTI.
Adhikari also praised late chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee as 'a very honest man', but said his party was in the wrong. He reiterated that fresh FIRs will be filed and cases reopened.
