CPI(ML) Liberation Decries IT Raids On BBC Premises

CPI(ML) Liberation secretary general Dipankar Bhattacharya alleged that the Narendra Modi government's "fear of truth" of the 2002 Gujarat riots was behind the ban on the BBC's documentary and the surveys at its offices by the Income Tax department.

"Modi ji, his government, and the BJP-RSS seem to be miffed at raking up of the communal carnage that took place 20 years ago. This led to the prescription of the documentary and, more recently, the IT raids. They have a fear of the truth being known to the young generation who are not aware of what happened in Gujarat back then.

"But, they should remember that children, to date, are taught about what happened in Hitler's Germany so that people learn from the mistakes of the past. The Gujarat riots must not be forgotten till those who were guilty are thrown out of power,” said the CPI(ML) Liberation leader.

Later, talking to reporters, he also said that the treatment meted out to the internationally renowned broadcaster would "harm the image of the country at a time when the spotlight is on us because of the G20 presidency".

The party said that since the BJP has ruled the state for a long, its "fascist culture of governance" has deeply infested the system.바카라 웹사이트

It suggested remedial measures like immediate action to stop the "bulldozing of houses of Dalits without notice", restoration of the Agricultural Produce Market Committee Act, and release from jail of those arrested for violating prohibition as well as those booked under anti-terror laws for taking part in political movements.

Bhattacharya told reporters that the party will be holding a special convention on Saturday to strengthen "opposition unity" to which dignitaries like the Bihar CM and his deputy Tejashwi Yadav have also been invited.

Replying to a query, he said, "Not having a face must not be construed as a weakness of the opposition. The BJP's centralised form of leadership is dictatorial and must not be emulated."

At the rally, the Left leader defended the decision of his 12 MLAs' strong party to refrain from joining the government.

"We did not win a single seat in the 2010 assembly polls. Ten years later, we fought 19 and won 12. Even our allies began saying that had we been given a few more seats to contest, we might have improved the tally of Mahagathbandhan and it is then leader Tejashwi Yadav would have formed his government," he observed.

"But, we must remember that our party's strength lies in the fact that we can rally around the people irrespective of electoral fortunes which tend to swing one way or the other. We cannot become like the BJP for whom winning elections is an end in itself," he said.

He also lambasted the Modi government for "refusing to order an investigation" into the charges against Adani Group and alleged, "they tend to think of themselves as emperors who expect the people to be silent in exchange for a few kilos of ration every month".
