Statement

CPIML Bihar State Secretary Kunal said that the encephalitis fever has once again started to create havoc in the State, but it seems that the government has learnt no lessons from the painful deaths of more than 500 children last year and remains as callous as ever this year also. So far 5 children have died this year in Muzaffarpur and if immediate measures are not taken there will be a repetition of last year’s horrific crisis.

AMIDST the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the biggest health crises in recent history, the United States of America (USA) continues to spread its imperialist tentacles endangering the lives of millions of people across the world. From Latin America to Africa to Asia, the policies of regime change, brutal sanctions, and overt and covert aggressions by the US has caused devastating consequences and suffering to the people.

CPIML Bihar State Secretary Kunal said in a statement issued on 17 April 2020 that the police in Bihar are unleashing brutal repression on the poor, workers, weaker sections, and even shopkeepers, sanitation workers and other working people who are risking their lives during the Lockdown to reach essential goods and services to the common people. This is extremely condemnable. The administration should not think that Lockdown is a license for police repression. The Bihar Chief Minister and DGP must intervene immediately in this matter and stop this repression.

IN a Press statement issued on 19 April CPIML State Secretary Kunal condemned the killing of Santosh Kumar Sharma in Beguserai and demanded a high level enquiry into the incident. From initial reports it appears that the killing was done by the Navakothi Thana under pressure from feudal-criminal forces. It appears that big political names of the District are also involved in the incident.

CPIML Bihar State Secretary Kunal and Patna District Secretary Amar issued a Press statement on 19 April expressing grave concern over the consistently rising morale of feudal-communal forces. Hate-mongering against minorities is being done in the name of the Lockdown and an atmosphere of hate is being created. The CPIML has demanded intervention from the Bihar government but the government is least bothered.

AICCTU Demands immediate withdrawal of this proposal

“We learnt that the one of the eleven empowered groups of senior bureaucrats on “facilitating supply chain and logistics management for availability of necessary items such as food and medicine” has made recommendations to allow longer working hours and to allow longer work-shifts through amendment in Factories Act 1948.

IN a joint statement CPIML Bihar State Secretary Kunal and PB member and Khagariya District in-charge Rajaram Singh have strongly condemned the killing on 11 April of CPM Khagariya District Committee member and former Mukhiya of Meghona Panchayat Comrade Jagdish Chandra Basu. The ML leaders pointed out that after the lockdown the morale of feudal-criminals in Bihar is very high and they are attacking dalits, Muslims and political rivals at various places.
