The Calcutta High Court has just pronounced the March 14 police firing in Nandigram unconstitutional. It has ordered the West Bengal government to pay adequate compensation to those who were raped, molested and killed on that day and directed the CBI to continue its inquiry. There is a well-timed lesson in this for the CPM. As Gujarat 2002 highlighted, when one institution fails, another will step in. In the long run, democracy and justice will prevail over those who seek to undermine our faith in it. The CPM must decide which side it is on in Nandigram.
