A 1000-strong rally was organized on 2nd December, 2010 at Singur at the call of the West Bengal State Committee of CPI(ML). The participants assembled at the Kamarkundu station from different parts of the adjoining districts of the state and the rally commenced at 2 pm. Slogans were raised, demanding that all lands acquired for the Tata Nano factory should be returned to the peasants with compensation, demanding immediate punishment of the murderers of Tapasi Malik and Rajkumar Bhule, withdrawal of all fake cases lodged against the agitators who were protesting forcible land acquisition and corporate land grab, and punishment for the Chairman of the local Panchayat run by Trinamool Congress who has been indicted for corruption.
The rally traversed through the entire area falling under the local panchayat, and terminated at the Singur railway station. Here, a small mass meeting was held in which the state party leaders and leaders of All India Kishan Mahasabha and All India Agricultural Labourers Association (AIALA) spoke. The speakers exposed the pro-big capital role of the Left Front government and the hypocrisy of the Trinamool Congress, which has utilized the Singur issue for its narrow electoral gains and has kept silent thereafter. The rally created a good impact on the local people, who welcomed the consistent efforts of the party to bring justice to the peasants, sharecroppers and agricultural labourers of the area whose livelihoods were snatched away by the forcible land acquisition by the Left Front government for Tata’s Nano factory.
