A CPIML team visited Naugarh in Chandauli District and went to the spot where some people, with the intent of capturing land, sprayed poisonous pesticide over the wheat crop in 5 bighas of land belonging to a farmer family and where, instead of acting on the complaint given, the police illegally detained the victims in the Thana.

A 7-member CPIML team visited the site of the killing at Durjanpur in Ballia, UP and spoke with and consoled the family of Jayprakash Pal who was killed in the firing on 15 October 2020.

Keeping the Bihar Assembly election in mind, the BJP is vitiating the atmosphere of social harmony and escalating its attempts to create communal discord.

One such attempt was made on 13 August on the occasion of Krishna Janmashtami in the name of immersion of the idol. A CPIML fact-finding team visited the site to enquire into the details of the incident.

CPIML PB members Kavita Krishnan and Prabhat Kumar, CC member Sucheta De, AIKM Vice President Prem Singh Gehlawat, AIPF Convenor Girija Pathak, JNUSU General Secretary Satish Chandra Yadav and AISA activists Dolan Samanta, Kaushik Raj, Junaid, and Manikant visited some areas of North East Delhi on 4 March 2020.

CPIML strongly condemns the brutal lathi charge on farmers in Unnao on 16 November 2019 and onwards. The Uttar Pradesh State Secretary of the party Sudhakar Yadav has said that the Yogi government wants to forcibly crush the farmers’ demand for adequate compensation for their lands. On the one hand farmers are driven to suicide by the agrarian crisis and the burden of loans; on the other hand the government is acquiring their land, their only means of livelihood, at throwaway prices and when the farmers demand compensation they are lathi-charged.

INVESTIGATIVE reports by a journalist have exposed how the Modi Government introduced the Electoral Bonds scheme, overriding strong objections by the RBI and Election Commission which held that it would help channel black, offshore money into India’s elections and would destabilise India’s currency.
