Press Statement

 

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

 

The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) expresses serious concern at the hardships
faced by the ordinary people because of the haphazard manner in which the
central government handled its demonitisation decision. 

 

The day to day life of every section of the common people has been thrown
out of gear because the government had not taken the requisite and
appropriate steps in advance to meet the contingency. Workers are not being
paid wages, people are unable to purchase essential commodities, vegetables
and medicines, unable to undertake travel etc due to non-availability of
cash. 

 

According to the government's own admission, the present chaotic situation
will continue for another three to four weeks implying that the people will
be subject to sufferings for some more time to come. 

 

The Polit Bureau demands that till alternative arrangements are completed,
the validity of the old currency notes should continue. 

 

The Polit Bureau calls upon its units throughout the country to conduct
protest actions to force the government to immediately put in place measures
to ease the situation.
