NEW DELHI: The Polit Bureau of the
Communist Party of India (Marxist) met in New Delhi on January 21 and 22, 2014.
It has issued the following statement on West Bengal:
The Polit Bureau expresses
serious concern at the number of gang-rapes and crimes against women in West
Bengal. This has been exemplified by the horrific double gang rape of a sixteen
year old girl at Madhyamgram and her subsequent murder. West Bengal has registered the highest number of crimes against women in
the country in the years 2011-12.
The Polit Bureau condemned
the callous attitude and the failure of the Trinamul Congress government to
take swift action against the culprits and effective steps to curb such crimes
against women.
The ruling TMC continues
with its rampage against democratic rights. All elected bodies and institutions
are being subverted. Currently elections are being held to the college unions.
Out of the 222 college union elections held so far, in most of them students of
organisations opposed to the ruling party’s student organisation were not
allowed to file nominations. Only in 36 colleges were they able to do so
partially.
The Polit Bureau strongly
condemned the murder of Saifuddin Mollah, a 25 year old SFI leader who was
brutally beaten to death by TMC goons in Baruipur in South 24 Parganas.
Given the notorious record
of the ruling party in rigging elections and preventing voters from casting
their votes, the Election Commission should take special measures to ensure a
fair and peaceful election.
