Press Statement

 

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

 

Stop Infringement of Rights of MPs

 

 

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) condemns the
Central government's decision denying political clearance to Dr V Sivadasan,
Member of Parliament (Rajya Sabha) to attend the Parliamentarian's Forum
Against Fascism, being held in Caracas, Venezuela. This is an attempt to
stifle any voice that does not conform with the ruling party's views.

 

The CPI(M) received an invitation from the National Assembly of Venezuela to
nominate its parliament members to participate in the Parliamentarian's
Forum Against Fascism, organised by it. The Party nominated Dr V Sivadasan
to represent it and participate in this Forum, where parliamentarians from
many countries are going to be present.

 

It is highly deplorable that in spite of getting the FCRA clearance, the
Ministry of External Affairs denied political clearance to Sivadasan, thus
infringing his rights as a Member of Parliament. The government is following
a policy of political discrimination, where differing voices are prevented
from expressing their views. This should be a matter of concern for all
opposition parties and their members of Parliament.
