Press Statement

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

Continuation of violence and terror by RSS/BJP in Tripura

 

The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) strongly condemns, the murderous attacks
unleashed by the RSS/BJP in Tripura in the name of  "child lifters". A 11
year old student was brutally murdered in West Tripura district on June 26.
A minister of the BJP state government charged that both the kidneys of this
child were removed for illegal human organ trade which spread panic and
fear. The state Director General of Police, however, quoting from the post
mortem report stated that both the kidneys were found in the body.

On June 28, three Muslim hawkers doing business in Tripura for the last ten
years were attacked by branding them as "child lifters".  One of them was
killed and the others were hospitalized with serious injuries.

Subsequently, the CPI(M) is being targeted under the spurious pretext of
instigating  violence. CPI(M) activists' houses and offices in that area
have been attacked and the reporter of the CPI(M) daily is now hospitalized
with serious injuries.

Four innocent lives have been lost so far. The BJP state government had
blocked the internet and social media for 48 hours in order to suppress the
information of the violent attacks reaching people.

There is growing apprehension that such attacks will be intensified. It is
the Constitutional responsibility of the state government to uphold law and
order by protecting innocent people and punishing the culprits. Instead, the
BJP state government is patronizing such private armies. The Polit Bureau of
the CPI(M) strongly condemns this and calls upon our Party units across the
country to organize protest activities and expose the diabolic designs of
RSS/BJP.
