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 US threat to
exterminate Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea). President
Donald Trump thundered, in his address to the UN General Assembly, that he
would “totally destroy” North Korea. USA is the only country in the world
that had used atomic weapons to destroy Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This
designed destruction by the USA, killing and agonizing hundreds of
thousands of people, was executed after Hitler’s fascist army surrendered
ending World War II.  USA embarked on this destruction not to end World
Ward-II but to start the ‘Cold War’ to establish its global hegemony. Post
World War–II the USA, militarily intervened in Korea under its Slogan of
“global war against Communism”. During the Korean War, the USA bombed
various North Korean cities causing deaths of tens of thousands of
civilizations. USA ensured the division of the Korean Peninsula.

Donald Trump heaped invectives against Iran and Venezuela using phrases
like “loser terrorist” and “murderous regime” etc.  He is, thus, defining
USA’s new “axis of evil”

The USA, given its track record, has no right to issue such threats. This
is an open threat to the sovereignty of independent countries. This cannot
be accepted and must be rejected.

The solution to the issues posed by North Korea should be resolved by the
group of six comprising – USA, China, Russia, Japan, South Korea and North
Korea by holding talks.
