Mamata showed haste on Singur: Says Kabir Suman

Singer turned Trinamool Congress MP Kabir Suman Saturday said the West Bengal government led by Mamata Banerjee acted in haste in the Singur land return case and accused the chief minister of issuing diktats.

'I think the Singur land issue has been approached somewhat hastily. It would have been better had it been done through a gradual process,' said Suman in an interview to a Bengali news channel Chobbis Ghanta.

Banerjee had got an act passed for return of land to farmers from whom land was allegedly acquired forcibly by the erstwhile Left Front government for setting up an industrial unit in Hooghly's Singur. The act has been challenged for being unconstitutional.
