CPI(M) Demands Withdrawal of Cases Against Those Waving Palestinian Flags During Muharram

The CPI(M) has called for the withdrawal of cases against individuals who waved Palestinian flags during Muharram processions and asked the BJP-led central government to show clear support for Palestine. Detained individuals should be released, and the government should demand Israel's withdrawal from occupied territories.

The CPI(M) on Friday demanded that cases filed against individuals waving Palestinian flags during Muharram processions be withdrawn, urging the BJP-led central government to express unequivocal solidarity with Palestine.

In a statement, the Left party called for the immediate release of detained or arrested individuals, noting that cases were filed primarily in BJP-governed states under stringent laws. 'The CPI(M) politburo demands immediate withdrawal of criminal cases filed against people for waving Palestinian flags during Muharram processions,' it said.

Referring to reports, the party stated that cases were filed in Jammu and Kashmir, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, and Jharkhand, accusing the BJP-led government of hypocrisy regarding its support for Palestine. The CPI(M) also demanded the withdrawal of cases and the immediate release of detainees.
