Press Statement

 

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

 

Condemn Police Firing on Protestors

 

The response to the call for a Bharat Bandh by various dalit organizations
has been widespread in states like Punjab, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar,
Jharkhand, Odisha and Uttar Pradesh. This shows the anger against the
Supreme Court's decision to dilute the SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities Act.

 

The Polit Bureau condemns the brutal police firing which has led to the
death of four people in Gwalior, Bhind and Morena in BJP ruled Madhya
Pradesh. In many other places, there have been attacks by police on
protestors.  One person has died in Alwar, Rajasthan.

 

Such a situation has arisen because of the failure of the Modi government to
present an effective case against the dilution of the Prevention of
Atrocities Act.

 

It is imperative that the review petition in the Supreme Court be
effectively argued by the Government Counsel.
