Hooliganism in Court





The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) strongly condemns the shocking incident of
hooliganism indulged in by lawyers and goons owing allegiance to the BJP at
the Patiala House Courts in Delhi today. Teachers and students of the JNU
and journalists were physically assaulted and driven out of the court.
Several people suffered injuries. The JNU Students Union President who was
arrested was to have been produced in the court today.



The CPI(M) condemns the inaction of the Delhi Police which was stationed
there in sizeable strength. The Union Home Minister and the Delhi Police
Commissioner must answer for this dereliction of duty.



The CPI(M) demands the immediate arrest of all those responsible for the
violence and attacks in the court premises. The Party reiterates that the
JNU Students Union President Kanhaiya Kumar be released forthwith and the
charges against him dropped.
