Press Statement
 
The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:
 
Condemn Police Brutalities in Assam
 
The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) strongly protests and condemns the State
sponsored police brutalities in Dholpur-Gorukhuti area in Darrang  district
of Assam, killing two persons in direct police firing and injuring several.
In the name of evicting "suspected illegal migrants" from Government land,
the Assam State Government has unleashed violence against citizens of India,
poor peasants who have been tilling the land for decades. The entire
programme is communally designed and is targeted entirely against local
Muslim minority communities. It is an outright assault on the constitutional
guarantee of equality and security for all citizens of India
 
The horrific brutalities on the peasants captured on camera require
immediate action against the police personnel involved. The CPI(M) demands a
judicial inquiry under a sitting judge of the Guwahati High Court, an end to
all evictions, compensation to those killed and injured. It supports the
efforts of the secular and democratic forces in Assam to expose and fight
back the toxic communal hate politics of the BJP Government in Assam.
