All India Protest of Left parties to free Kanhaiya from Feb 23 to 25

New Delhi: The Six Left parties will hold all-India protests from February 23 to 25 on the issue to release JNU student leader Kanhaiya Kumar and punishment to those who they said fabricated “evidence” leading to his arrest for sedition.

Kanhaiya Kumar’s arrest on charges that he shouted anti-national slogans during a meeting on Kashmir in the campus was “part of efforts to sharpen communal polarization in the country”, they said.

The joint statement was issued by the Communist Party of India-Marxist, Communist Party of India, Revolutionary Socialist Party, All India Forward Bloc, Communist Party of India-Marxist-Leninist-Liberation and Socialist Unity Centre of India-Communist.

“Kanhaiya Kumar must be released and all cases of sedition filed against students must be withdrawn forthwith. No harassment and witch hunting must be allowed,” it said.

“The truth has now come out that most of the evidence produced by the government was fabricated. Those who have fabricated the evidence and propagated it must be punished under the law.”

The Left parties said they condemned the attack “launched by the RSS-BJP against the Left and all other progressive forces”.

They said the denunciation of the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) was “part of a larger design by communal forces to carry forward their agenda in institutions of higher learning”.

The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity. Initially resistant to including persons with disabilities, it eventually featured wheelchair and standing categories, thanks to advocates’ efforts. Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.

Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.

 

The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards. The youth of Goa exhibited their unwavering support for the community, making the party an unequivocal success.
