Press Statement
 
The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:
 
Delhi High Court Verdict Most Welcome
 
The Delhi High Court order granting bail in the UAPA case connected to the
north-east Delhi violence,  for three detenues is most welcome. It is a step
towards undoing the gross injustice by committed by the Home Ministry in
manufacturing cases against activists protesting against the
unconstitutional CAA. Significantly the High Court has stated "it seems,
that in its anxiety to suppress dissent, in the mind of the State, the line
between the constitutionally guaranteed right to protest and terrorist
activity seems to be getting somewhat blurred. If this mindset gains
traction, it would be a sad day for democracy."
 
The Court has shown the mirror to the Government. This applies to numerous
cases in which any form of dissent is termed anti-national and individuals
are bullied, intimidated, threatened, imprisoned under UAPA and laws of
sedition. 
 
The CPI(M) while hailing the judgment, demands that the government apply
this standard to all the false cases and release all political prisoners.
