Dear Shri Gehlot Ji,
 
Namaskar. I am writing to you to express my strong protest and condemnation
of the actions of the Sikar police on August 28.  In an unprecedented
action, hordes of uniformed policemen illegally entered the office of the
CPI(M), arrested former MLAs and CPI(M) leaders Comrades Amra Ram and Pema
Ram and dragged out scores of others who were in the office. Subsequently,
while Amra Ram was released, Pema Ram was taken into custody and had to
apply for bail which was granted to him the following day in court.
 
The police dared to enter the CPI(M) office without any warrant in a display
of aggressive lawlessness. This is totally unacceptable. I request you to
take urgent action against those responsible.
 
I have also learnt that the police dealt in a brutal way with young men and
women students who were peacefully demonstrating against what they consider
was a manipulation of the results of a women's college. Young women were
manhandled by male police. Press photographs and videos show the extent of
the brutality leading to several students suffering fractures.
 
I hope you will take immediate action against those responsible.
 
                        With regards,
 
Sd/-
(Sitaram Yechury)
General Secretary
