Nandigam uproar stalls both houses of India's Parliament

The issue of Nandigram in West Bengal
state India on the acquisition of Land for economic development
resulted where in orgy,violence has erupted in its peak on the lower
caste and women being killed and raped with Central reserve Police
force sent but situation remained violent and tense. Matter needed a
debate in parliament but to hold the debate,the debate on draft, needs
to be done first.

Leaders
of CPM call Nandigram lawlessness a state subject ,a law and order
situation and the right wing BJP led NDA put up the issue violence in
Nandigram as national issue and hence the debate in Parliament is as
per the law.Nandigram has achieved a international news as the violence
continued and TC leaders Mamta with other social activist have been the
front runner to seek peace in the area with amicable settlement with
farmers whose lands are being acquired.

“Quite clearly we cannot afford to have a situation where — whether
they call them cadres or goons or part of any particular group or party
— to take the law into their hands, and not be able to get matters
sorted out,” said Mr Naraynanan,National Security Advisor

Stray violence and disruption of road and rail traffic today marred
a general strike called by naxalites in parts of West Bengal, Bihar and
Jharkhand protesting CPI(M)"s recapture of Nandigram as the shutdown
evoked mixed response.Naxals blew up a portion of a rail track in
Birbhum district of West Bengal disrupting train services during the
bandh which also affected life in their strongholds of West Midnapore,
Bankura and Purulia districts.

Barring a few naxalite strongholds in Gaya, Jehanabad, Arwal and
Aurangabad districts, vehicular traffic remained normal everywhere.

Train services were, however, marginally hit with the East Central
Railway cancelling a few trains and changing the routes of a few others
as a precautionary measure.

Both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha rocked on the issue today, there is
no immediate end in sight for smooth transaction of business in the
brief session. The political developments in Karnataka are expected to
be raised tomorrow. which is underplayed.A scene of confrontation today
when the BJP gave notice for an adjournment motion on the Nandigram
issue in the Lok Sabha, whose wording made the Left see red.

Leader of the House Pranab Mukherjee and Leader of the Opposition L K
Advani have been asked by Lok Sabha Speaker Somnath Chatterjee to work
out a draft of the discussion that is acceptable to all parties.The
draft proposed by the government does not name Nandigram but seeks a
discussion on the ‘extremist violence in Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and
West Bengal", sources said.The adjournment motion was not accepted by
the Speaker as the issue pertains to the state government and not the
Centre.

The BJP-led NDA today, however, remained firm on its demand for a
“Nandigram-specific" discussion in Parliament, rejecting CPI(M)"s
suggestion that the issue should be part of a wider debate on Special
Economic Zone or Maoist violence.

The main Opposition party made it clear that it will not allow the
Parliament to function unless Nandigram violence was taken up for
discussion and rejected Government"s contention that it was a law and
order issue, which is a state subject.

Senior BJP leader Murli Manohar Joshi, who has already moved a
motion in Rajya Sabha for a debate on Nandigram on Monday, launched a
sharp attack on Congress for remaining “silent" on Nandigram violence
allegedly by CPI-M cadres and said his party wanted a debate on the
issue in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.

“It is highly surprising that Congress is silent on Nandigram. Just
because CPI-M is backing UPA government at the Centre, it is improper
to forgive its cadre as Nandigram was made a war zone", Joshi told
reporters in Bhubaneshwar.

He said no senior Congress leader, neither party chief Sonia Gandhi nor Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, visited Nandigram.

“It seems Congress is quiet on Nandigram either to save the UPA
government led by it at the Centre or to make CPI-M soften its stand on
Indo-US nuclear deal", the former Union minister alleged.
