Press Statement
The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:
Arrest Hate Mongers
The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) strongly condemns the unprecedented incident
in Jamia Nagar in the Capital, when in full view of a large contingent of
police personnel, an armed man fired at students from Jamia University who
were on a march to Raj Ghat, injuring a student. Subsequently it is
confirmed that the criminal is associated with the Sangh Parivar.
His terrorist action is a direct result of the call given by a BJP leader
and minister in the Modi government, Anurag Thakur to shoot at the
protesters, calling them traitors along with other communal hate speeches
and incitement to violence being given by top BJP leaders, led by Amit Shah.
The patronage being extended to those inciting violence is reflected in the
fact that although peaceful protesters are detained not a single FIR has
been filed against Thakur and other BJP leaders including Delhi MP Parvesh
Verma. 
It is shocking that although an outfit called the `Hindu Sena' given an open
call to attack Shaheen Bagh and other protest sites in the Capital on
February 2 and put up posters, no action has been taken against them.
The BJP facing defeat in the forthcoming Delhi elections has embarked on a
most dangerous path of sharpening communal polarization, spreading open,
provocative communal hate rhetoric targeting the protests against CAA, NRC
and NPR.
The Polit Bureau demands that an FIR be filed against Anurag Thakur and
Parvesh Verma; that the EC should issue a notice to the Home Minster against
his hate speeches, that immediate action be taken against the Hindu Sena. It
appeals to the people of Delhi not to be provoked by the BJP hate mongers
and to ensure their defeat so as to maintain communal harmony and peace in
the Capital.
