JAMMU, Feb 7: The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) has strongly condemned the invoking of the draconian Public Safety Act on former Chief Ministers of Jammu & Kashmir, Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti.
“PM Modi, while replying to the Motion of Thanks to the President’s Address, in the Rajya Sabha had claimed that the statements made by these two were not acceptable. It has now been shown that these statements have been taken from a twitter handle of a satire website “Faking News” and the baselessness of this allegation has been established,” CPI(M) said in a statement, issued here today.
Stating that thousands continue to be detained even after six months, the CPI(M) said lakhs of livelihoods have been disrupted and normal day to day activity simply does not exist. This is an affront to the Indian Constitution and democracy, the statement added.
The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) demanded immediate release of all those detained from the night of August 4, 2019 and re-establishing the democratic processes under the Indian Constitution.
