Imphal, May 17 2021:
Communist Party of India condemned the arresting of people for putting up posters criticizing the government by Delhi Police.
This action is highly objectionable and anti-democratic as it is the right of people to criticise government actions or inactions and this cannot be taken away, said a statement issued by CPI.
The authorities are misusing their power and covid situation to impose their anti-democratic diktat, added the statement, Covid mismanagement in India has become an issue of international criticism and in India people are asking questions and have every right to do so.
The Government which was busy patting its own back after 1 st wave of the pandemic is now exposed after the collapse of the health system and is trying to muzzle the criticism, added the statement.
CPI added in the statement that instead of suppressing facts, the government must try to improve health infrastructure and covid management.
