BTW - the CM has repeatedly said that no land will be acquired in Nandigram against the people's wishes....Neither was any official notice ever sent for land acquisition. The police went in only to restore law and order in the no-man's-land that Nandigram had become....not to seize anyone's property. The villagers had ample warning. So why did they resist? Perhaps the "intellectuals" and others in this forum know. Read the facts...before expressing an opinion.

The CM SAID.Did he ever bother to make an official move to make the people of nandigram believe that "No land will be taken"?and one notice from the District level was obviously sent identifying the areas which would be taken.I think you have forgoten that issue.
You said police went to restore law and order.Well,from when onwards police starts to enter villages with automatic riffles to restore law and order?The police also had ampple time before hand to stop the law and order system deteriorating.Why din't they do it?why did the Govvt allow the law and order system to break?was it intentional?To restore law and order or maybe for self defence,police can fire at the ultimate stage bu under no circumstances they can fire above the waist.Why did they do that?was it necessory to restore law and order?The CBI arrested 10 caders of CPM.Why did the police alow them to enter the area and do hooliganism for 2 months?Where were the police force when law and order was being disrupted?or maybe they beloneged to the ruling party so they were allowed to break the law and order.
BTW,it is better no to comment when you do not have any sound logic.

If land was not suppose to be acquired why police went there? Was there any unreported law and order problem? Police went with full preparation of firing and ruling party workers to participated in hunting sports.
