West Bengal BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari pays tributes to people killed in Nandigram
Kolkata: Leader of the Opposition in West Bengal Assembly, Suvendu Adhikari, on Wednesday paid tribute to anti-land acquisition protesters who were killed in police firing at Nandigram in 2007.
In a post on X, the BJP leader said, “On Shaheed Tarpan Diwas, January 7, 2007, I pay my respectful homage to the three immortal martyrs of the anti-coercion Nandigram Bhumi Raksha Andolan.”
৭ই জানুয়ারি, ২০০৭ শহিদ তর্পণ দিবসে, বশ্যতা বিরোধী নন্দীগ্রাম ভূমিরক্ষা আন্দোলনের অমর তিনজন শহিদদের প্রতি আমার সশ্রদ্ধ প্রণাম।

The Nandigram incident dates back to January 7, 2007, when police firing during protests against the proposed acquisition of farmland for a chemical hub had left at least three people dead.
The episode triggered widespread unrest in the state and eventually became a turning point in West Bengal politics, contributing to the decline of the Left Front government.
