Press Statement

 

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:

                

UP: Government Must Stop These Attacks

 

The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) strongly condemns the atrocious attacks that
have been mounted on the minority community in the state of Uttar Pradesh
since Adityanath assumed office as Chief Minister. In the name of closing
down illegal slaughter houses, the UP government is targeting  all
slaughter houses on the specious plea of controlling illegal trade of cow
meat. There have been instances of wide spread attacks on meat shops in
various  parts of the state. 

 

It may be noted that Uttar Pradesh accounts for nearly 50% of India's total
meat exports and such a policy will affect the livelihood of 25 Lakh people
directly or indirectly. Moreover, all sections involved in the production
and sale of meat all over the state are being targeted and at times
subjected to physical assault.

 

The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) calls upon the BJP led NDA Central Government
to ensure the protection of the constitutional guarantees for religious
minorities and  prevail upon the UP BJP state government to desist from
following such a disastrous course.
