Pioneer News Service | New Delhi
The BJP on Saturday attacked Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for his "conspicuous silence" on the continuing violence in Nandigram and sought to know from him why he was tight-lipped when "poorest among poor" were being harassed in the CPM-ruled State.
The party has urged Centre to immediately seek an "honest, proper and objective" report from Governor Gopal Krishna Gandhi on Nandigram and subsequently take a "prompt and appropriate" follow-up action to ensure that normalcy and peace return to the violence-torn area.
<b>While fresh violence by alleged CPM workers erupted in Nandigram, claiming one person and injuring many</b>, the BJP took a pot-shot at the PM saying: "He comments quite often on Gujarat but remains silent on Sikh riots of 1984. Why is there a deafening silence on Nandigram violence?"
