CPI(ML) Central Committee welcomes the verdict of the MP-MLA court of Aurangabad district of Bihar acquitting Comrade Rajaram Singh, MP and leader of the party's parliamentary group and, other activists in a false case filed by the Bihar police in 2012.
Comrade Rajaram Singh was injured by the police while leading a public protest against the murder of Chhotu Singh Kushwaha, mukhia of Sonhatu panchayat of Haspura block, and incarcerated on false charges along with 28 other activists. In 2013 Bihar Human Rights Commission (order attached below) indicted the government for this atrocity and awarded a compensation of Rs One lakh to Comrade Rajaram. Today's acquittal comes as the final judicial slap against this police repression and administrative vendetta camouflaged as 'good governance' by the Nitish-Modi double engine government.
This rare judicial victory cannot however make us oblivious of the reign of terror and repression that has become the hallmark of the fascist Modi government. Comrade Jitender Paswan, president of the Bihar unit of Revolutionary Youth Association, has just been convicted by the Gopalganj District Court in a false case. Comrade Manoj Manzil, MLA from Agiaon (SC) seat of Bhojpur was disqualified following his conviction in a similar case in 2024. Countless activists, scholars, journalists, lawyers and innocent citizens continue to rot in India's jails without trial and bail.
We draw strength and inspiration from today's judicial victory to intensify the battle for liberty and justice for India's deprived millions.
