Press Statement

 

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

 

Stop Suppression of Dissenting Views

 

The action of the Delhi Police, to try and stop a seminar-cum-workshop being
held at the Harkishan Singh Surjeet Bhavan in New Delhi on alternative
policies with regard to the G20, was totally uncalled for and an attempt to
suppress dissenting opinions being voiced.

 

The Surjeet Bhavan is owned by the CPI(M) where it conducts various
activities, including Party education and seminars.  Various civil society
organisations, under the banner of We20, were conducting a meeting on the
issues raised by the forthcoming G20 summit.

 

The police sought to stop the meeting stating that it had not got police
permission.  No police permission was ever required for such  meetings or
seminars in private buildings.

 

The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) strongly protests against this arbitrary
action of the Delhi Police.  The Modi government must stop interfering,
through the Delhi Police,  in the democratic right of citizens to hold
discussions and seminars in the capital.
