Press Statement

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

The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) expresses its strong condemnation and outrage at the two bomb blasts in Hyderabad city on 25^th August evening. This terrorist attack has led to the deaths of forty two people so far and scores have been injured.

This horrific attack underlines how certain terrorist groups are working to disrupt normal life and communal harmony. The culprits responsible for this outrage must be caught and brought to book. Since Hyderabad had witnessed a bomb attack in a mosque recently, it is important that the government and the security agencies identify and take preemptive steps to suppress such elements.

The Polit Bureau expresses its heartfelt sympathy for all those who have lost their family members and those who have suffered injuries. The Polit Bureau is confident that the people of Hyderabad, along with the rest of the country, will stand united against such nefarious and inhuman violence.
