Kolkata: The Trinamool Congress has warned that it will not talk with the West Bengal Government unless it removes orders restricting the assembly of people in Singur, Hoogly district.
The party is protesting against the Tata Motors small car project in Singur and alleges that the Left government forced farmers to give their land for the factory.
Trinamool leader Saugata Roy said no talks could be held if the prohibitory orders under section 144 of CrPC continued to be in force at Singur.
"Surprisingly, the state government extended the prohibitory orders by 20 days immediately thereafter," he said. He called for the immediate withdrawal of the order.
Roy said that his party's movement on Singur will continue and it will not be given up.
He said he had had discussions with Banerjee, currently recuperating at a nursing home here, and she was of the view that the Trinamool will have to consolidate the gains of its movement by going to the people and explain the party's stand on the "forcible acquisition of farm land at Singur".
Trinamool workers on Tuesday took out a rally from the Metro channel at Esplanade, the site of Banerjee's fast, to the Gandhi statue on the Maidan, a short distance away, in support of the campaign against "forcible" acquisition of agricultural land.
