New Delhi: The Lok Sabha on Friday dismissed with ‘contempt’ a US government report which alleged that there had been human rights violations during the Nandigram violence last year.

Raising the matter during Zero Hour, Communist Party of India member Gurudas Dasgupta described the State Department's observations were "grave interference of internal affairs of India by the Bush Administration."

Noting that there could be "differences of perceptions" on Nandigram issue in Parliament but the observations of the US report were condemnable.

"Anything happening in India is a concern of the people of this country" and the US should have nothing to do with it.

"It deserves condemnation of the entire House," Dasgupta said.

Responding to the point made by Dasgupta, Speaker Somnath Chatterjee observed the report should be "ignored with contempt it deserves."

"We are not bound" by the Bush administration, he said.
