Press Statement

 

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

 

Condemn the Attack on CJI BR Gavai

 

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) strongly condemns
the act of throwing a shoe at the Chief Justice of India, B.R. Gavai. It
demands that immediate action be taken against the concerned advocate, who
is registered with the Supreme Court Bar Association and has been
apprehended.

 

It is highly shocking and deplorable that a shoe was thrown at CJI Gavai in
an open courtroom, accompanied by slogans shouted in support of Sanatan
Dharma. The recent utterances of BJP chief ministers, ministers, and leaders
promoting casteist, Manuvadi, and communal ideas have emboldened such acts.
This incident is yet another example of the Manuvadi and communal venom
injected into society by Hindutva communal forces. It also reflects the
Sangh Parivar's intolerance and unwillingness to accept any opinion that
does not conform to their ideology.

 

The CPI(M) demands that the Union government ensure adequate protection for
CJI Gavai. The government must deal firmly with persons and organisations
that spread intolerance, while safeguarding freedom of expression and the
right to dissent.
