West Bengal shuts down in protest, Marxist rampage continues
Columns of dark smoke rose from villages laid to waste by CPI(M) cadre and mass funerals in Nandigram on Monday as the party's militia continued with its mopping up operations, bombing the remaining few pockets of resistance and shooting at Bhoomi Uchhed Protirodh Committee members who have been holding out against the murderous assault.
<b>With access to Nandigram cut off by the CPI(M) blockade, mediapersons could not enter the war zone. Villagers escaping the marauding red army said 7,000 people rendered homeless have taken shelter in Nandigram's schools.</b>
In Kolkata, CPI(M)'s unrepentant State secretary Biman Bose told newspersons, "A new sun has dawned on Nandigram." By evening, PTI reported that a second Minister in the Left Front Government, Manohar Tirkey of the RSP, shocked and shamed by the CPI(M)'s assault, wants to put in his papers.
Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee, who visited the injured admitted at Tamluk Hospital, claimed pregnant women and a three-year-old child had been burnt alive by the Marxist militia, many of them hardened criminals. Unconfirmed reports said <b>20 bodies were cremated on Monday</b>.
