Press Statement
 
The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:
 
Communal Violence in Bangladesh
 
The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) expresses its serious concern over the
outbreak of communal violence and clashes during the Durga Puja period in
Bangladesh.  
 
The Bangladesh government has deployed forces to quell the violence and
assured that justice will be delivered punishing those responsible for
triggering this communal violence. At least four people have reportedly lost
their lives in police firing and several arrested in a countrywide
crackdown.  
 
Bengalis, for centuries, have observed the Puja festivities in a harmonious
manner irrespective of people's religious beliefs.  Bangladesh observed this
tradition all along.  The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) hopes  that this
tradition will be maintained and strengthened.
 
The rise in the activities of the religious fundamentalism is of common
concern to many countries in our region.  Government of Bangladesh must make
all efforts to restore peace, normalcy and tranquility.
