The CPI expresses its profound shock and deep concern at the communal holocaust that has broken out in Muzaffarnagar, in Uttar Pradesh. Already 26 people have died and more than 50 grievously injured. The flames have spread from the city to the nearby villages. Belatedly the State Government has called in the army to restore peace and order.

The Government should have acted immediately after two media persons were killed in front of a so-called “Maha Panchayat”. The state administration showed incompetence and inefficiency in controlling the situation.

The Samajwadi Party Government had been lax for quite some time in curbing all these communal outbursts and in countering the aggressive machinations of the Sangh Parivar and other communal forces of minority community, till now when it has been compelled to call in the army. The Akhilesh government should implement its promise of immediate action against erring district officials.

This is the culmination of communal tension breaking into occasional riots that have gripped U.P. for the last few months.

Stalwarts of the BJP and its Sangh Parivar have been named for inciting the people to resort to killings and arson against members and properties of the minority community. This is part of the nefarious design of the communal BJP for its political and electoral gains.

The CPI demands that strict and effective measures should be taken against all the communal instigators and hooligans. They should be apprehended and immediately prosecuted.

The CPI appeals to the people of all communities to restore peace. Peace committees should be formed for going round the affected localities to restore the traditional harmony that has always been the ‘Ganga-Jamuni’ culture of U.P.
