Nandigram victims' families indifferent to case reopening

hindustantimes.com

The Calcutta High Court ordered the West Bengal government to reopen ten murder cases from 2007 to 2009 in Nandigram, reversing a previous decision to withdraw prosecution. This order came on February 10, 2025, amid ongoing political tensions. Many relatives of the victims, including Sunil Bar, expressed indifference to the court's decision. They feel that the reopening of cases will not change their difficult circumstances or bring justice after years of struggle and pressure to withdraw complaints. Political leaders from the Trinamool Congress and Bharatiya Janata Party clashed during a memorial event for the victims, but neither party acknowledged the court's order. Victims' families have shifted their political loyalties over the years, focusing on survival rather than seeking justice.
