KOLKATA: Condemning the forcible removal of Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee during a dharna at Singur, Union Minister Priya Ranjan Dasmunshi on Tuesday said the West Bengal government "apparently had something to hide about" the Tata Motors project.
"The manner in which the government tried to curb the movement of farmers is shameful. The manhandling of Mamata is not only an insult to her, but also to the women of Bengal," Dasmunshi told newsman after visiting the TC chief at the Gandhi statue where she is continuing her protest here.
The TC supremo was continuing her dharna at the foot of Gandhi's statue against 'forcible' acquisition of agricultural land for the Tata Motors car project at Singur in Hooghly district and demanding a halt to payment of compensation cheques to land losers, after she was escorted to Kolkata by the police in the early hours.
Insisting that he was not against the Tata project or any other, Dasmunshi said that projects should not come up on agricultural land. "The way that the government and the CPI(M) are trying to push through the land acquisition, it appears that they are trying to hide something."
