Nandigram: Mamta wants SC judge inquiry

New Delhi: Accusing West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb

Bhattacharjee of failing to ensure justice for the victims of "genocide" in Nandigram, the Trinamool Congress demanded an inquiry by a sitting Supreme Court judge into the March 14 police firing there in which 14 people were killed on Wednesday.

"It is one month and 1O days since the police firing on innocent villagers of Nandigram, who are fighting to save their land from being taken away for a SEZ. But there has been no effort on the part of the West Bengal government to ensure justice to the victims," Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee told a public rally during her first visit to the troubled area since last month's violence.

"We demand an inquiry into the genocide by a sitting judge of the Supreme Court. The CBI enquiry should continue simultaneously," she said.
