CPI(ML) Bihar state secretary Kunal has condemned the response of the Bihar state government to the police firing in Katarwa in Bagaha and the police action during Lalganj violence. Com. Kunal termed the justification of police firings by the government as a murder of justice for the poor. He said the response of the government was extremely shameful and castigated the government for still failing to find Chandeshwar Mahto, after whose kidnapping people had started a movement and had to suffer police brutalities. He termed this failure as extremely shameful and also the fact that instead of trying to find Chandeshwar Mahto, the government is busy punishing the agitators. In this state, the justice to the poor has become a travesty. The punishment to leaders of Ranvir Sena in several cases has not been met, and the poor and the activists have had to face disappointment. While murderers, rapists and criminals are being set free, those fighting struggles for the oppressed are being punished. The so called ‘social justice’ government is adopting a double standard for poor and agitators.
