The Polit Bureau expresses its deep shock and condemnation of the
dastardly killing of Narendra Dabholkar in Pune. Dr. Dabholkar had led
the anti-superstition movement and worked tirelessly to stop
obscurantist practices. He was the Editor of Sadhana weekly.
His
progressive social activities had evoked opposition from the rightwing
communal forces. The Polit Bureau demands a speedy and effective
investigation of this murder, so that the culprits are brought to
justice.
