Kolkata, August 08 Trinamool chief Mamata Banerjee has refused to attend the all-party meeting to be presided over by the Chief Minister at Tamluk on Saturday to resolve the prevailing situation in Nandigram.

Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee had called the meeting following a spurt in violence that had claimed the lives of two CPM activists in Nandigram in the last two days.

Mamata said the state government did not invite senior party leaders to participate in the meeting.

Instead, the district magistrate of East Midnapore had informed the district leadership of the party to attend the meet. The district Trinamool leadership would decide on attending it, Mamata added.

She alleged that the chief minister was not keen to ensure normalcy in Nandigram. Trinamool sources said party representatives would place a memorandum before Bhattacharjee in the meeting.

In a related development, relatives of Niranjan Mondal, the CPM leader who was killed in Nandigram on Wednesday, lodged a complaint against 53 people for their alleged involvement in the killing.

The accused named in the FIR include TMC legislators Sisir Adhikary and Suvendu Adhikary, local Trinamool leader Sheikh Suffian and Saha-Sabhapati of Nandigram Abu Taher.

No one has been arrested in connection with the murders, said S S Panda, Superintendent of Police East Midnapore.

Mamata said Mondal had left the CPM last year and the party had influenced his relatives to lodge a complaint against the Trinamool leaders.

The CPM wanted to implicate them in false criminal cases so as to bar them from contesting polls in the future, she said.
