Condemn Attack on Rezzak Mollah

 

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) issued the following statement on January 7, 2013.

 

THE Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) strongly condemns the physical assault on Comrade Abdur Rezzak Mollah, member of the West Bengal state committee of the CPI(M) and MLA. Rezzak Mollah was assaulted by a Trinamul Congress leader, Arabul Islam, and others while visiting a party office which had been burnt down by the TMC men. Rezzak Mollah received injuries to his face and has been hospitalised. 

 

This is the latest instance of the continuing violence by the Trinamul Congress against the CPI(M), the Left parties and the opposition. The CPI(M) demands that the TMC leader and others responsible for the attack be immediately arrested. 

 

The Polit Bureau appeals to all democratic forces to raise their  voice of protest against the thuggish violence indulged in by the Trinamul Congress in West Bengal.
