Press Statement
 
The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:
 
Condemn Badal Chowdhury's Arrest
 
The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) strongly condemns the arrest of Com. Badal
Chowdhury, leader of the CPI(M) in Tripura, while he was in the ICU of a
private hospital in Agartala.
 
The BJP state government has levelled false charges against Badal Chowdhury
concerning his tenure as the PWD minister, in the Left Front Government, in
the execution of certain projects. Other senior officials including the
former Chief Secretary of the state have been named in the FIR. This shows
the extent to which the BJP government can go to level baseless charges and
target the CPI(M) leadership.
 
The arrest of Badal Chowdhury while he was in hospital and when the Tripura
High Court was to pass an order on his anticipatory bail application shows
the vindictive nature of the action. 
 
Such actions will not suppress the CPI(M) nor tarnish its image as the
people of Tripura know very well the exemplary and honest record of the Left
Front government. The CPI(M) will fight the case against Badal Chowdhury
both legally and politically.
