Press Statement


The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:


The CPI(M) strongly condemns the sharp increase in petrol price of Rs.2.95
per litre by the oil companies. This is a vicious attack on the people who
are already suffering from price rise and inflation.


The Congress-led government is responsible for this anti-people measure
for having deregulated the prices of petrol.


The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) calls upon all its units to launch vigorous
protests by mobilizing the people against this price increase.
