Mamata seeks CBI probe into firing

NANDIGRAM: Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee demanded central intervention to stop continuing violence at Nandigram, dismissal of CM Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee and a CBI inquiry into the alleged firing on her convoy. “Nandigram’s border with Khejuri from where CPM activists are launching attacks should be sealed and if necessary central forces should be deployed,” Ms Banerjee told reporters here.

“My convoy was fired at, CM Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee should admit it. He should be dismissed by the Centre. We have lodged an FIR with the police. It is not our claim. From where a cartridge could have come?”Ms Banerjee also alleged that the CPM activists have blocked all roads and no one including the press could go to Nandigram. “I have to stay put at Contai,” she said.
