It is very difficult to restore peace in Nandigram despite Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee’s best efforts, veteran CPI(M) leader Jyoti Basu said today.

“As I understand, it is really very difficult. But the Chief Minister has stated that he is trying hard,” Basu, former West Bengal chief minister, said when asked if he was hopeful that peace would return to Nandigram soon.

Regarding the role of opposition parties, Basu said, “Their attitude is not correct. They know that there is a court case and an administrative inquiry is on. They are alleging that there have been incidents of rape, but who are those raped and what are their names?”

Basu, who attended a meeting of the party’s labour wing, stressed the need to bring peace in the area. “How is it possible that one part of the state is outside the purview of the state administration?” he asked.
