Statement

The CPIML Central Committee has issued the following statement -

CPIML Bihar State Secretary Kunal has termed the stay order by Bihar HC on elections on the municipal body seats reserved for backward and most-backward castes very unfortunate. The party believes that this stay will further harm the interests of most deprived sections of the society.

CPIML Bihar State Secretary Kunal on 14 September condemned the shooting in Beguserai by criminals injuring 10 people and killing one person. In view of the nature of the crime he demanded a high level enquiry into the incident.

AIPWA has opposed the BJP Bihar State President's demand for an anti-Romeo squad in Bihar. AIPWA General Secretary Meena Tiwari said on 13 September that BJP should know that Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in his first term had set up an anti-Romeo squad but it ended up by becoming an anti-woman squad and drew sharp all-round criticism.

CPIML Bihar State Secretary Kunal expressed deep concern over the attack by the Mahaveeri Akhada procession on 8 September on Muslims while they were reading Namaz at Purani Bazaar in Badharia, Siwan. He said that the BJP is desperate after being ousted from power in Bihar and is bent on inflaming passions across the state. The Bihar government must take strict action in this matter. The most worrisome thing is that the administration has become completely BJP-ized.

CPIML Bihar State Secretary Kunal strongly condemned the NIA raids being conducted in various Districts on people associated with PFI and SDPI and said that this is being done at the behest of the Centre. The BJP wants to spread hatred towards the Muslim community through this and cause communal polarization by branding them as terrorists. All this is being under BJP's Mission 2024 to win the Lok Sabha elections in 2024.

On the 75th anniversary of India’s independence, 11 men sentenced to life imprisonment for murdering 7 Muslims and gang-raping a pregnant Bilkis Bano, walked free because the Gujarat Government chose to remit their sentences.

They had committed their crime during the Gujarat 2002 anti-Muslim pogrom (which happened when PM Modi was Gujarat CM).

Commenting on the fast-changing political situation in Bihar, CPIML General Secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya said on 9 August 2022 that the message it sends is nationwide. This political development in Bihar to protect people's rights against the BJP's incessant attacks on the Constitution and democracy and attempts to impose autocracy in the country will give the entire country a new direction and will prepare the base for a new political polarization.

CPIML Bihar State Secretary Kunal said on 31 July 2022 that clearly it is the dalits, women and people from the minority community who are the target of the BJP. BJP is conducting a meeting of its various morchas in Patna, but by conducting such meetings, it cannot fool the people of the country any longer. With what face is the BJP holding this meeting in Patna, after running away from conducting a caste census? He added, BJP is not only anti-reservation, but also does not want to give dalits and OBCs their just rights.

The death threats, abuse and threats of censorship faced by filmmaker Leena Manimekalai over the poster of her new film Kaali are abhorrent, and reflect the growing climate of Hindu-supremacist intolerance in India.
