Kolkata: Trinamool Congress leader Mamata Banerjee continued her hunger strike for the 21st day, here on Sunday, turning down a written request from Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to call off her fast in protest against the alleged forcible acquisition of farmland for the proposed car project at Singur in Hooghly district.

The letter was handed over to Ms. Banerjee by Information and Broadcasting Minister Priyaranjan Dasmunsi.
