The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:





Organise Protests Against Kolkata Lathicharge





The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) condemns the
brutal lathicharge on peaceful protesters in Kolkata on October 1. The
Kolkata Left Front had organized a march to the Kolkata Police Headquarters
at Lalbazar protesting against the deteriorating law and order in the city,
police atrocities against Left Front workers and the hooliganism indulged in
by the Trinamul Congress.



More than 200 leaders and cadres of the Left Front including CPI(M) Central
Committee Member Dipak Dasgupta and RSP leader Sukumar Ghosh were injured in
the unprovoked and merciless lathicharge.



The Polit Bureau also condemns the use of male policemen to attack the women
who were participating in the procession.



The Polit Bureau calls upon all its units throughout the country to organize
protest actions and express solidarity with the people of West Bengal who
are fighting for restoration of democratic rights. It appeals to all
democratic minded people to raise their voices against the attempts to
muzzle democratic dissent in the state of West Bengal.
