Press Statement

 

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

 

Condemn ABVP Violence in Delhi University

 

 

The CPI(M) strongly condemns the violence and hooliganism unleashed by the
ABVP, the student wing of the RSS in Delhi University. The ABVP first
disrupted a seminar being organised in Ramjas College by the English
Department and when students protested the following day, the ABVP goons
attacked the students and teachers injuring several of them. Even the media
personnel were not spared. The Delhi Police played the shameful role of
facilitator for the ABVP goons, and stood by while the protesters were being
stoned by them. Students and teachers including from the Delhi University
Teachers Association and the Academic Council who were marching to the local
police thana to protest were attacked by the Delhi Police.

 

This is another shameful example of the violent intolerance backed by the
State machinery of the RSS-BJP combine and its various wings against all
forms of democratic protest, particularly in the universities. 

 

The CPI(M) demands that all those who indulged in violence to disrupt the
seminar and attack the democratic protest should be arrested. Action must be
taken against the Delhi Police personnel who connived with the ABVP.
