The CPI(M) Assam State Committee organised a protest march in
Guwahati on December 24 against the barbaric terrorist killings in
Assam. Hundreds of CPI(M) activists assembled near Guwahati Club.
Addressing
the gathering State Secretary Uddhab Barman condemned the gruesome
killing of innocent people in the district of Sonitpur and Kokrajhar on
23 December. He also strongly criticized the Assam state government for
its repeated failure in providing security to the people of the State.
The
activists took out a procession appealing to the people to stay united
and foil the nefarious designs of these forces. The procession
culminated in a meeting near the Reserve Bank where Central Committee
member Deben Bhattachariya reiterated Party’s demand to provide
adequate security to the people of Assam. He also appealed to the people
to stand unitedly in this hour of crisis and defeat the conspiracies of
the terrorist forces to provoke the people of Assam and instigate
fratricidal clashes.
Protest actions were also organized in
different districts of the state. These include Tezpur (Sonitpur
District) Pathsala (Barpeta), Manikpur (Bongaigaon), Tihu (Nalbari),
Rangia (Kamrup), where protest meetings and procession were organised.
A
team of CPI(M) leaders which visited the Sonajuli area near the
Assam-Arunachal Border found total chaos and helplessness prevailing
even 20 hours after the gruesome killings. CPI(M) activists are also
playing an active role in organizing relief at the camp opened at
Tinisuti area for the affected people in the locality
