Press Statement

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

Withdraw Authoritarian Orders to MPs

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) condemns the
dictatorial order stating that Members of Parliament cannot conduct any
protest actions in the precincts of the Parliament house 

MPs routinely conduct protest actions to make their point of view on all
important matters concerning the country and the people. This has been their
democratic right since the Indian Parliament began functioning. 

Along with the new direction issued for expanding the list of
unparliamentary words which even include the often used expression against
government like 'incompetence'. This order banning protests constitutes the
most brazen authoritarian assault on the Parliament, its independent
functioning and the inalienable rights of MPs.

This unilateral decision, without consulting political parties represented
in Parliament is brazenly undemocratic. Worse, this is done on the eve of
the commencement of the Parliament session.

The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) calls upon the Union Government to
immediately withdraw these anti-democratic measurers.
