Press Statement

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

The CPI(M) condemns the incidents of attacks on people belonging to North India in Mumbai and certain other places in Maharashtra. This is a result of the propaganda and statements directed against Hindi-speaking people living in Mumbai by a parochial political outfit.

The state government and the administration should take firm steps against such chauvinist elements and protect the life and property of all citizens living in Mumbai and the state.
