‘Fix responsibility for Pahalgam attack’
Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, June 7: The Central Committee of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) elected in the 24th Congress recently, deliberated on the political developments in its three-day session in Delhi.
It condemned the continuing Israeli genocide which is aimed at the complete destruction of Gaza and its annexation. It said the BJP Government should immediately stop the export of arms and cut military and security ties with Israel. The Government should stand firm with the cause of Palestine.
Referring to the Pahalgam terror attack, the Committee noted that the people of the country had united in grief and condemnation of the terrorist attack in Pahalgam on April 22. In this, the response of the people in Kashmir was exemplary, as they spontaneously came out in protest against the violence.
They said after ‘Operation Sindoor’, the Prime Minister and the BJP have sought to utilise this military operation for partisan political purposes. The speeches of PM Modi, utilising the operation for electoral purposes, were glaringly evident in Bihar and West Bengal.
The Government has been boasting about how the situation in Jammu and Kashmir had returned to normal after the abrogation of Article 370, the special status and dismantling of the State of J&K. Such a flawed approach has led to serious security lapses. The perpetrators of the terrorist attacks, who have been identified, have still not been apprehended. The responsibility and accountability for these failures must be fixed.
The Comment also questioned the manner in which the ceasefire announcement took place on May 10. President Trump has repeatedly asserted that the US intervened to get both sides to agree to a ceasefire. There has been no effective rebuttal of this claim. The Central Committee of the CPI(M) strongly opposes any US intervention in this regard. It also condemned the Government’s refusal to convene a special session of Parliament, as demanded by the entire opposition.
They further alleged that BJP/RSS have intensified their communal campaign, spreading hatred against the minorities. The migrant Muslims, particularly Bengali-speaking individuals, are being targeted as Bangladeshis and forcibly deported.
While the entire country is disturbed by the terrorist attacks and communal hatred, the BJP Government is aggressively pursuing its neoliberal policies benefiting its cronies. The RSS/BJP communal policies to divide the people are intended to divert their attention, break the unity of the people and carry on with their attack on their livelihoods.
The Central Committee extended support to the July 9 general strike called by the Central Trade Unions. Moreover, a delegation of the Party, led by MA Baby, general secretary will be visiting Kashmir on June 10-11, 2025.
