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

CPI(M) Welcomes Supreme Court Judgement

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) welcomes the
landmark judgement of the Supreme Court setting aside the Tamilnadu
Governor's decision to withhold assent to the bills passed by the Tamilnadu
legislative assembly.  The Court declared that the ten legislations withheld
by the Governor will now become laws.  

The Supreme Court had termed the Governor's actions as 'illegal and
arbitrary'. The Court set a timeline for the Governor to act, once the bills
are cleared by the Assembly. This is a historic judgement as it came down
against the actions of many Governors of opposition-ruled states, who are
acting in violation of the federal principles enshrined in the Constitution.


The verdict will now set the precedent to all the states, including Kerala,
where the Governors withheld ascent to the legislations passed by the state
assemblies.  

The CPI(M) welcomes the judgement that helps in strengthening the federal
principles enshrined in our Constitution. The Supreme Court judgement will
strengthen the struggle against authoritarianism and for the protection of
the rights of state governments.
