Press Statement:

 

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

 

Withdraw Criminal Cases against Palestinian Solidarity

 

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) demands the
immediate withdrawal of criminal cases filed against people for waving
Palestinian flags during Muharram processions. It has been reported that
these cases were filed in Jammu and Kashmir, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and
Jharkhand under stringent sections of Unlawful Activities Prevention Act
(UAPA) and Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) upon complaints made by BJP and VHP
leaders.

Most of these states where the cases were filed are governed by the BJP and
its allies or under the direct governance of the central government. The
BJP-led government claims to support the Palestinian State, but the filing
of these cases exposes its true face. It is unable to tolerate Indian
people's support to Palestine.

The CPI(M) demands the withdrawal of these cases and immediate release of
all those who are detained, arrested for expressing their support to
Palestine. The central government should unequivocally express its
solidarity with Palestine, demand Israel to withdraw from all the
territories it had occupied and restore the Statehood of Palestine, with
pre-1967 borders and East Jerusalem as the capital.
