What happened at Lalgarh is not good: Buddhadeb

What happened yesterday (Friday) at West Midnapore is not good. Many people died. Each and every political parties should restrain themselves from violence,” Bhattacharjee said while addressing a programme here.
At least seven people were shot dead and 17 wounded allegedly by Marxist-backed assailants near this Maoist hub in West Bengal Friday, prompting union Home Minister P.Chidambaram to summon the chief minister to New Delhi.
“If this violence spreads once then each and every work and development process will stop. We don’t want innocent people to be killed. Violence should stop,” said Bhattcharjee.

Narayanan in his press statement also said that he is “deeply disturbed, saddened and concerned” over the killing of so many persons in Lalgarh and had regretted that not even mothers and daughters have been spared, and called it a “day of sorrow and shame” for the state.
