Dhankhar hits out at Mamata over Nandigram violence

‘Why is the CM silent on the cries of children and women rendered homeless?’

West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar on Saturday visited some camps in Purba Medinipur district where people allegedly affected by post-poll violence in Nandigram have taken shelter and questioned the “silence” of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on the cries of children and women rendered homeless by the “TMC workers” there. Mr. Dhankhar met violence-affected people who have taken shelter at camps in Kendemari, Bankim More, Chilagram, Nandigram Bazar and Town Club here. The camps are managed by Suvendu Adhikari and his BJP supporters. The TMC chief had termed the incident of firing by the Central forces in Cooch Behar’s Sitalkuchi in which four persons were killed as “genocide” but she is “silent over the situation in Nandigram”, Mr. Dhankhar said.
