The opposition Left Front will launch a series of programmes this month to protest against the 'poor' law and order situation in West Bengal and exert pressure on the CBI to expedite its investigation in the multi-crore Saradha chit fund scam, besides demanding restoration of industry-friendly environment in the state.

Briefing on a LF Committee meeting, its chairman Biman Bose today said the Front has endorsed the demonstration in front of CBI's regional headquarter here on January 12 to pressurise the CBI to expedite its investigation in the multi-crore Saradha chit fund scam. "On the 12th of this month, we will put up a big demonstration outside the CGO complex in Salt Lake (where the CBI office is located). Lakhs of people have still not got their money and more than 100 have committed suicide. The CBI should speed up the process of investigation and get the guilty punished," the Left Front chairman said.

Street corner meetings would also be held in all districts on January 24, followed by demonstration on January 28 outside government offices in districts to protest against the law and order situation in the state and door-to-door campaign on February one.

Referring to the claims of success by the Trinamool Congress government on Bengal Global Business Summit, the veteran Marxist leader said these are nothing but a 'bouquet of lies' and the event in turn would yield nothing beneficial for the state. "We have seen many summits in the last four years. But none of them yielded any result. Rather, those industries which were there in Bengal have closed down and moved to other states due to the misrule of TMC," he said.

Earlier during the meeting, Bose suddenly fell sick but recovered soon after the CPI(M) state Secretary Dr Surjya Kanta Mishra conducted a medical check up. CITU state President Shyamal Chakraborty earlier said the veteran party leader and former West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee would flag off a movement from Singur to Salboni on January 16 demanding industry-friendly environment in the state.

Referring to the agitation by Trinamool against Tata Nano Car project at Singur in 2006 when it was in the opposition, Chakraborty said the party which had destroyed the industrial prospects of Bengal is now organising business summits.
