Press Statement

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

Amit Shah’s Speech Condemned

BJP President Amit Shah has challenged the Supreme Court order on the
entry of women to the Sabarimala temple and incited his partymen to defy
the verdict, in his speech in Kerala. In doing so, he has exposed the real
hand behind the violent protests against women’s entry into Sabarimala.

It is such incitement which has also led to the highly condemnable arson
attack on the ashram of Swamy Sandeepananda Giri.

That the ruling party President so blatantly ridicules the SC judgement is
in keeping with the RSS-BJP’s contempt for the Constitution and the
Supreme Court. The threat of toppling the Kerala State Government if it
continues to uphold the SC judgement is another display of the
anti-democratic, authoritarian attitude typical of Amit Shah.

The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) is confident that the people of Kerala will
reject the regressive and disruptive politics of the BJP and the RSS.

The CPI(M) will expose throughout the country the anti-women stand of the
BJP and its upholding of the patriarchal upper caste order.

The Polit Bureau appreciates the steps being taken by the LDF Government
to stop violence and hooliganism by those claiming to oppose the Supreme
Court judgement.
