Press Statement

 

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:

 

Scrupulously Implement Constitutional Separation of Powers

 

The Prime Minister unveiling the national emblem on top of the new
Parliament building is a clear violation of the Indian Constitution. The
Constitution unambiguously separates the three wings of our democracy - the
Executive (government), the Legislature (Parliament and state assemblies)
and the Judiciary.  President summons the Parliament.  Prime Minister is the
head of the Executive.  The Legislature has its independent role to perform,
amongst others, to legislate laws,  keep the Executive accountable and
answerable.  This Constitutional separation of powers between the three
wings is being subverted by the head of the Executive.

 

Furthermore, the Prime Minister performed a puja on the occasion. The
Constitution of India gives the right and protection to all Indians to
practice and profess their faith.  This is an inalienable right.  At the
same time, the Constitution of India clearly stipulates that the State does
not profess or practice any faith/religion.  

 

The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) calls upon the PM and the Union Government to
scrupulously implement  the solemn oath they have taken  when assuming
office swearing to protect and uphold the Constitution of India.
