Press Statement
The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:
Arrest Hate Mongers
The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) strongly condemns the unprecedented incident
in Jamia Nagar in the Capital, when in full view of a large contingent of
police personnel, an armed man fired at students from Jamia University who
were on a march to Raj Ghat, injuring a student. Subsequently it is
confirmed that the criminal is associated with the Sangh Parivar.
His terrorist action is a direct result of the call given by a BJP leader
and minister in the Modi government, Anurag Thakur to shoot at the
protesters, calling them traitors along with other communal hate speeches
and incitement to violence being given by top BJP leaders, led by Amit Shah.
The patronage being extended to those inciting violence is reflected in the
fact that although peaceful protesters are detained not a single FIR has
been filed against Thakur and other BJP leaders including Delhi MP Parvesh
Verma.
It is shocking that although an outfit called the `Hindu Sena' given an open
call to attack Shaheen Bagh and other protest sites in the Capital on
February 2 and put up posters, no action has been taken against them.
The BJP facing defeat in the forthcoming Delhi elections has embarked on a
most dangerous path of sharpening communal polarization, spreading open,
provocative communal hate rhetoric targeting the protests against CAA, NRC
and NPR.
The Polit Bureau demands that an FIR be filed against Anurag Thakur and
Parvesh Verma; that the EC should issue a notice to the Home Minster against
his hate speeches, that immediate action be taken against the Hindu Sena. It
appeals to the people of Delhi not to be provoked by the BJP hate mongers
and to ensure their defeat so as to maintain communal harmony and peace in
the Capital.

Press Release

Further to the complaint to the Commissioner of Police, Delhi by Smt. Brinda
Karat, Polit Bureau member of CPI(M) and K. M. Tewari, Secretary, Delhi
State Committee of CPI(M), they have written another letter demanding
immediate action on the complaint by filing FIRs and take preventive steps
against the Hindu Sena.

We are releasing the text of the complaint for publication.

Dear Shri Amulya Patnaik ji,

This is further to the complaint dated 29.1.2020 in which we had given
details of the hate speeches made by leaders of the BJP, namely Anurag
Thakur and Parvesh Verma which constitute criminal offences under the IPC.
We had also mentioned the specific provisions which should apply namely
under Sec. 153A/ 153B/ 295A/ 298/ 504/ 505/ 506 of the Indian Penal Code,
1860 among others.

Regrettably and for reasons best known to you and the Delhi police, you
chose not to act on our complaint. The direct result of your inaction was
seen yesterday when an armed man shot directly at Jamia students, in full
view of the Delhi police personnel who acted as spectators. The criminal
concerned, who calls himself Rambhakt Gopal is a supporter of the ruling
party and the ideology of the sangh parivar. He implemented what Anurag
Thakur had openly asked his supporters to do -- "goli maaro", shoot the
traitors. This terrorist act is directly attributable to the instigation by
the leaders mentioned above through their statements for which they must be
held responsible and charged under the law.

Further, you must be aware  of the open threat including through posters by
an outfit calling itself the Hindu Sena to forcibly clear the Shaheen Bagh
protest site on February 2. This is spreading fear and panic in the entire
area. It is essential for the police to take strong action in advance
against this Sena so as to prevent them from carrying out their threat. This
threat again is attributable to the hate speech made by the two leaders
named.

We urge you to take immediate action, file the FIRs, and take preventive
steps against the Hindu Sena.

Thanking you.

Yours sincerely,

Sd/-

Member, Polit Bureau, CPI(M)                            Secretary, Delhi
State Committee,
CPI(M)
