Press Statement

 

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

 

The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) strongly condemns the Chandy government's use
of police to brutally  attack LDF MLAs inside the assembly and against the
public outside the assembly premises. LDF MLAs and the people were
protesting demanding that Finance Minister, K.M. Mani should not place the
budget as there is a vigilance probe against him which was instituted by the
UDF government on allegations of corruption. 

 

As many as 20 MLAs have been seriously injured in the attack with some being
admitted to the ICU. 

 

The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) warns the UDF government to heed to the voice
of the people. Such attempts to stifle democratic protests by the people and
their representatives will not be tolerated. The P.B. calls upon the people
to strongly voice their protest against this brutal attack on democratic
rights by the UDF government.
