Subject: Blatantly communal hate speech by BJP candidate Suvendu Adhikari

Sir,
We are sure that you have noted the communal hate speech by BJP’s candidate from the Nandigram constituency of West Bengal, Suvendu Adhikari, which has been widely reported in the media.

The CPIML legislative party leader Mahboob Alam condemned the Bihar government's attempt to whitewash the heart-wrenching death of 6 workers in the Khagaria school compound wall collapse by calling it an accident. He said that this is not an accident but the result of sheer negligence. The Chief Minister cannot hush up the truth by giving Rs 4 lakhs compensation to the victims' families. He demanded a full enquiry by a committee constituted by the Assembly.

Below is the text of the letter written to the Inspector In-Charge, Kotwali Joshimath, District Chamoli. This letter was sent by registered post to Joshimath Thana because the Thana in-charge was away in disaster-affected Tapovan and the Deputy Inspector who was present in the Thana expressed his inability to accept this letter in the absence of the in-charge.

Sir,

VHP and other groups must not be allowed to sow communal hate and incite violence against Muslims!

On 10th February the Mongolpuri of Delhi saw the unfortunate murder of Rinku Sharma, a resident of the area. The Delhi Police have arrested five persons- Zahid, Mehtab, Nasruddin, Islam, Tazuddin- in connection with the murder. The Delhi DCP of Outer Delhi has gone on record to say that there is no ‘communal link in the crime’ and that Rinku Sharma’s murder was a case triggered by a business rivalry.
