CPI-M deplores police action against Christian protest
New Delhi, Feb 6
The CPI-M Friday deplored the
police action against a demonstration organised here to protest attacks
on churches in the capital.
"The peaceful protest (near the
Sacred Heart Church Thursday), which included the participation of nuns
and priests, was forcibly dispersed by the police with lathis and all
were arrested," it said in a statement.
The CPI-M condemned the
attitude of Delhi police for "refusing to acknowledge that the vandalism
on five churches in Delhi is communally motivated and are hate crimes
against a minority community.
"This reflects the stand of the
BJP government at the centre, under whom the law and order machinery
functions in Delhi," the Communist Party of India-Marxist said.
It sought a Special Investigation Team to investigate these attacks so that the culprits can be brought to justice.
