Arrest
of Cartoonist Condemned The Polit Bureau
of the Communist Party of THE Polit Bureau
condemns the arrest of cartoonist
Aseem Trivedi by the Mumbai Police and his remand to
police custody for a week.
Trivedi has been arrested for drawing cartoons and
publishing them as part of
an anti-corruption campaign. It is outrageous that he has
been charged with
sedition. The CP(M) demands
his immediate release and withdrawal
of the charges against him. There is an urgent need to
review the sedition
clause in the Indian Penal Code which is now being misused
frequently.
