[Marxistindia] Solidarity with the people of J & K - Left parties statement

[news from the cpi(m)]

August 3, 2020
Press Release
 
The Left parties - Communist Party of India (Marxist), Communist Party of
India, Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist)-Liberation, All India
Forward Bloc and Revolutionary Socialist Party - have issued the following
statement:
 
Solidarity with the People of J&K
 
5 August 2020 marks one year of the abrogation of Article 370, the
dissolving of the state of Jammu and Kashmir, and the caging of the people
of J&K. 
 
Last year, the Modi Government made many tall promises about what this move
would accomplish and how it would benefit India and the people of J&K.
Meanwhile many warned that the Modi regime's tyranny in Kashmir would soon
be a blueprint for the whole of India. A year later, the Government's
promises stand exposed betraying the people of J&K who continue to be caged
and silenced.
 
The challenges to the abrogation of Article 370 and 35(A) of the Indian
Constitution are still pending before the Supreme Court.
 
The Left parties demand that all those detained since August 2019 must be
released, full communications must be restored and the free movement of
people allowed. This is essential for both combating the pandemic
effectively and upholding Constitutional guarantees on democratic rights and
civil liberties while providing relief to the beleaguered people.
