Press Statement

 

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

 

Manipur CM Must Go

 

The horrific atrocity in Manipur against two tribal women of stripping,
parading and gangrape of one of them along with the murder of two family
members who tried to save her, has outraged the country. The BJP government
of Manipur is directly implicated in providing impunity to the perpetrators
of this atrocity as its police took no action even though the FIR was lodged
with tremendous courage by the victims' families within two weeks of the
incident. For two and a half months the state is burning, yet the Chief
Minister and government has been defended by the top BJP leadership and the
central government. The Prime Minister's statement after months of deafening
silence, trivialised the incident, the enormity of the violence in Manipur
and also the partisan role of the Chief Minister. The principle of
accountability has been buried deep by the double engine government.  It is
the most graphic commentary on the claim of `good governance' by the BJP. 

 

The Polit Bureau demands the immediate resignation of the Chief Minister of
Manipur. It calls upon its units to raise this demand across the country in
protest actions and in solidarity with the women victims and the people of
Manipur.
