INDIAN communists have condemned the arrest of a prominent Dalit leader for criticising Prime Minister Narendra Modi over explosions of sectarian violence.
The Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) slammed the government and Delhi police for conniving at the “illegal” bulldozing of Muslim areas inhabited by “the poorest of the poor” yesterday, continuing even after a Supreme Court order to stop.
Demolitions only halted when Brinda Karat, a 74-year-old member of the party politburo, personally led locals to block the path of the bulldozers, brandishing the Supreme Court verdict.
