CPI condemns Kanpur incident

Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI: The Communist Party of India on Thursday strongly condemned the defacement of the statue of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar in Kanpur and demanded that the culprits responsible for this vandalism booked and punished.

Reacting to the resultant "worsening" situation in Maharashtra, the party Central Secretariat, in a statement, charged that the Vilasrao Deshmukh Government had "completely failed" to tackle the situation. It alleged that since the Kharilanji killings, the State Government was faulting.

"It lacks sensitivity and political acumen to address the concerns of the Dalits and understand their strong feelings. Dalits are no more to tolerate the violations of human rights. The CPI condemns the police firing and large-scale lathi-charge in Maharashtra," the statement said.

The party demanded adequate compensation to the kith and kin of those killed in the police firing and release all arrested Dalit activists.
