CPI(ML) Liberation expresses our solidarity with the families of those who lost their lives and with all those injured in the horrific stampede at the Chorebagan Sarbojanin Durga Puja pandal in Kolkata.
This tragic loss of lives demands accountability. We call for a thorough investigation to fix responsibility, full medical treatment and rehabilitation for all those injured, and adequate compensation for the families of the deceased and the injured.
The horrific tragedy at Chore Bagan, with its devastating loss of lives, is unprecedented in recent memory. It exposes the misplaced priorities of the BJP government in West Bengal.
While public safety and the protection of lives demand urgent attention, the state government is deploying bulldozers and mobilising its communal Sangh brigade, state police and the entire state machinery to demolish progressive bookstalls across the state, and harass people in the name of religion.
