Saturday, March 24, 2007 (Kolkata):


The CPI (M) has questioned the authority of the Calcutta High Court to order a suo moto CBI inquiry into the Nandigram police firing.

The party's state committee met in Kolkata on Saturday to deliberate on the issue and, at the end of it, issued a press release describing the court order as extraordinary.

"The court has passed an extraordinary order. What more can I say about it? The Supreme Court is discussing the issue.

"On the suo moto order, was the state government asked for an SLP? Was the matter discussed with the state government? If not, can the court do this? Well, they have," said Biman Bose, Secretary, CPI (M).
