Condemns Horrific Bhainsa Incident
The central
committee of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) now in session at
Kolkata has issued the following statement on October 12, 2008:
THE central committee of the CPI(M) strongly condemned the
horrific incident of the killing of six members of a family including
three children and a woman who were burnt alive by putting their house
to fire at Bhainsa town in Adilabad district in Andhra Pradesh. This
killing of a Muslim family is the latest act of violence in the town
which has altogether seen ten people dead in the last fortyeight hours.
The RSS and the communal elements provoked the trouble while a Dusshera
procession was being taken out. It is surprising that the attack on the
house has taken place even after curfew was imposed. The police and the
district administration have not acted firmly against the culprits
responsible for the communal violence. This incident underlines the
necessity to take firm action against all the communal forces and
organisations which are stoking violence in different parts of the
country.
The central committee demands that the Andhra Pradesh government take
immediate steps for the protection of the minorities and to provide
adequate compensation to those affected by the communal violence in
Adilabad district.
