NDA team to visit killing fields on Saturday
The brutalities committed by the West Bengal police and the CPI(M) cadre on the farmers in Nandigram hit the two Houses of Parliament on Thursday, with the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) launching a full-scale assault on the Left and the Centre alike.
Former deputy Prime Minister and Leader of Opposition LK Advani on Thursday sought the immediate invocation of Article 355 in 'strife-torn' West Bengal, deployment of paramilitary forces at Nandigram, and dispatch of an all-party delegation there to reassure the local people.
The BJP threatened to disrupt the proceedings of Parliament if the Centre ignored its demands.
<b>Justifying his demand for an all-party delegation to Nandigram, Advani said that Congress president Sonia Gandhi led a similar delegation to Gujarat and later Devi Lal also led such a delegation to Jammu & Kashmir.</b> Rajya Sabha chairman Bhairon Singh Shekhawat is believed to be pursuing the matter with the Centre.
