The Haryana State Committee of the CPI(M) has expressed anguish over the failure of the police to apprehend those who perpetrated the “most heinous crime of abduction, rape and murder of a school girl'' in Kurukshetra last week
In press statement released in Rohtak on Wednesday, Committee Secretary Inderjit Singh said that ordinary citizens were compelled to live in utmost fear in the wake of unprecedented spurt in crime all over the State especially during recent months. He asserted that the “mass protest in Kurukshetra against the “gruesome murder of the Dalit school girl'' was enough testimony of the brewing anger amongst the common people against the ‘callous attitude of the police generally and in this case particularly'.
The CPI(M) has asked Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda to come out with effective steps to restore security to the common people as he is in charge of the Home Department also. Mr. Inderjit Singh said that women in general and Dalits and other weaker sections in particular were “bearing the worst brunt of sexual assault and other form of violence”. He added that the CPI(M) and the CPI state units would work in tandem to contact political parties, mass organizations, social groups and general public towards forging a wider platform to launch effective mass campaign for security of life and property of the people.
