Srinagar, Aug 20 (KNO): The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) Wednesday denounced the Modi government’s move to introduce three bills to oust the Prime Minister, Chief Ministers and other ministers after 30 days in custody, which underlines its anti-democratic tendencies to circumvent established procedures of law.
“In the past also the BJP has always shown the tendency of specially singling out so called heinous acts to slap a blanket legislation to avoid judicial scrutiny. Given the neo-fascistic tendencies of the present government, this will obviously be used as a weapon to target opposition state governments,” a statement issued to the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) reads.
This move is obnoxious and undermines the checks and balances which is essential for a democracy worth its name. The reference to crime only intends to cover up the real intention, it reads.
The CPI(M) is resolved to fight this legislative proposal with all the strength at its command and would urge all the likeminded democratic and secular parties in the opposition to jointly resist this uncalled for move—(KNO)
