Press Statement

 

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

 

The Communist Party of India (Marxist) feels that it is unfortunate that the
Prime Minister and his government refused to convene a special session of
Parliament to discuss the Pahalgam terror attack and subsequent
developments. We urge the government to immediately convene the Parliament
session, apprise the people of India and also provide opportunities to seek
clarifications if any.

The Prime Minister instead chose to call a meeting of the Chief Ministers of
only the BJP-NDA ruled states to brief them about 'Operation Sindoor'. This
is discriminatory, especially on an issue of national importance. We demand
that the government call a meeting of all the Chief Ministers of the
country, including those from the opposition, for such a briefing.

The government is first accountable to the people of India and should be
transparent in its actions. The campaign by ruling party leaders and even
state ministers to communalise the situation must stop forthwith. 

The government has called the leader of our Party in the Rajya Sabha and
informed him about the various delegations that it has decided to send to
different countries as part of its diplomatic outreach. Despite our
reservations mentioned above and while reiterating our above demands, in the
larger national interest we feel obliged to be part of such a delegation.
