The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) strongly condemns the physical attacks
against CPI(M) and Left Front MLAs within the West Bengal Legislative
Assembly. As a result of this shocking violence by some Trinamool
Congress legislators, two CPI(M) MLAs - Gouranga Chatterjee and Debolina
Hembram - were injured and had to be hospitalized.
Instead of taking action against those MLAs of the ruling party who
launched an unprovoked assault, three CPI(M) MLAs have been suspended
from the House for the rest of the session. The root cause of the trouble is the TMC’s intolerance towards the
functioning of the Opposition in the Assembly. All democratic norms and
legislative procedures are violated.
The Polit Bureau protests this assault on democracy. It calls for the
revocation of the suspensions of the three MLAs. The rights of the
Opposition in the Assembly should be protected and democratic norms
observed.
