Statement

THE Modi government has given the police unchecked powers to crush and silence peaceful protesters and has declared war on the Constitution and democracy through CAA-NRC-NPR and a state of serial Emergency.

WE sympathise with the anguish and anger of Jyoti's parents, which may feel somewhat assuaged if her assailants are hanged. But the State that fails women in every way, every day, should not be allowed to absolve its sins by taking lives and draw our attention away from the substantive changes that the State and society must ensure to make women's lives more safe from violence, and more free.

ALL India People’s Forum and a delegation of citizens held a symposium on 20 January 2020 and met the Collector and submitted a memorandum against the repression of democratic rights and he deportation of former IAS officer Kannan Gopinathan from Allahabad airport back to Delhi on 18 January 2020 when he was scheduled to speak at a symposium organized at Sardar Patel Institute at Opalibagh.

THE CPIML has for long demanded the protect of traditional water-bodies in Bihar. Needless to say these water bodies are threatened, not by the poor living by the side of and using those water bodies, but by the wealthy and powerful people of dominant communities who have captured these water bodies and lands around them. The Jal-Jeevan-Hariyali (water-life-greenery) scheme launched by the Bihar CM Nitish Kumar is nothing but a hypocritical pretense of environment protection and protection of the water bodies.

AICCTU Secretary Ranvijay Kumar and Bihar Pradesh Jeevika Cadre Sangh President Pradeep Kumar Singh have said in a joint Press statement that Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar should make public the details of billions of rupees that are going to be spent on the human chain and ‘Hariyali Yatra’ to be organized on 19 January; they also demanded that the dispensation of Poverty Alleviation Funds during the 14 years of Nitish-BJP rule should be made public.

Against Modi’s Devastation of Economy and Attacks on Democracy and Constitution

New Delhi, 8 January.

THE CPIML condemns the imposition of curfew and internet ban, and the deployment of military and paramilitary forces in Assam against the popular movement against the unconstitutional and communal Citizenship Amendment Bill.

The Modi-Shah Government used brute majority to pass the CAB in both houses of Parliament, fully knowing that there have already been long-standing protests against CAB in Assam and the North East, and that it is fast spurring widespread alarm and protests all over India.

CPIML Bihar State Secretary Kunal said on 3 December that the killers of CPIML leader and former Rohtas District Secretary Comrade Bhaiyyaram Yadav should receive their punishment without delay. The District Court in its verdict delivered on 2 December sentenced two accused persons Babu Singh and Bablu Singh to life imprisonment, but two other accused could not be sentenced as they are absconding.

THE four suspects in the Hyderabad rape and murder case have been killed by the police in an early morning "encounter". This "encounter" has all the hallmarks of a custodial murder, dressed up to look like an "encounter". Since the suspects were in police custody, and thus unarmed, it is clear that the police is lying when it claims they were killed when "attacking the police" at the crime scene where they had been taken to "recreate" the events of the night the rape-murder occurred.
