Mamata’s dharna in Singur drives Japanese back to home

Japanese experts that Tata brought to manufacture the Nano go home registering the power of true democracy in India.

Six Japanese experts who were helping with the Nano’s production today left the city amid the uncertainty around the project created by Mamata Banerjee’s dharna.

“We are leaving for now because we don’t want to sit idle. It is very unfortunate, whatever’s happening. I really can’t say what’s going to happen… but I hope it works out for the best,” said Makoto Shimode, one of the six engineers who caught a Thai Airways flight to Tokyo.

“We don’t know when the blockade will be lifted and when we can return to work. We have been told it may be possible to come back in about a week’s time. So maybe then we will return.”

A Tata spokesperson said: “There has been no improvement in the ground situation so far. Hence the conditions are not conducive for resuming work today. We continue to assess the situation closely.”

Tomorrow is a Sunday, and the earliest that work can resume is Monday, that too only if the “ground situation improves”.

Casual worker Rajendra Singh from Bihar said: “We never saw this kind of protest in Bihar. They are having fun on the highway and inconveniencing common people.”
