On 7 August 2025, a team of CPI(ML) and AIPWA visited Mohabbat Nagar in Lakhimpur (Uttar Pradesh), where a young man recently died tragically after being brutally beaten in a case related to a love affair. The accused have been arrested and sent to jail.
Following the incident, a BJP MLA stated that the village would be demolished and bulldozed. This threat forced victim’s family to lock their house and gone elsewhere.
The village has a mixed population of poor labourers, with about 60 per cent being extremely poor Muslims and 40 per cent poor Dalits and extremely backward castes. They earn a living by driving auto-rickshaws, working as loaders, or doing any available daily wage work, while women sustain households through domestic work. Residents possess voter ID cards, Aadhaar cards and ration cards, and have been living there for over 35 years.
CPI(ML)- AIPWA team said that the BJP government’s promise “where the poor have huts, there will be roofs” has proved false. Now the reality is “where the poor have huts, bulldozers will run.” CPI(ML) declared that it will fight against this. The country will run under the Constitution, not by bulldozers. The party will launch a movement to protect life and livelihood against those challenging the Constitution.
