A delegation of the CPI(M) went to Ghatmika village in the Mewati area of Rajasthan on February 17 and met the families of Junaid and Nasir, who had been kidnapped, brutally beaten, and then allegedly burnt alive by Hindutva workers belonging to Bajrang Dal.
The delegation comprised of Brinda Karat (Polit Bureau member) Amra Ram (Rajasthan State Secretary and member Central Committee) Sumitra Chopra, Dr. Sanjay Madhav, Raisa (Rajasthan state secretariat and state committee members), and advocate Shabbir Khan.
The delegation inquired about the reported cases against Junaid on charges of ‘cow smuggling’. “These cases had been filed during the earlier BJP regime along with cases against many others in surrounding villages. Since there was no evidence of any kind, Junaid was never arrested nor have any of the charges been proved even after all these years. In fact, they were false cases filed by a vindictive government to justify the spate of incidents of violence against cattle farmers and traders by the gau rakshak gangs,” the party said in a press release.
The CPI(M) strongly condemned the brutal killings. “The policy and patronage of the Haryana government and police in protecting the criminal activities of the so-called gau rakshak gangs must be held responsible. The Rajasthan government must also immediately probe the role of the Rajasthan police in this case. The CPI(M) will be giving a memorandum to the chief minister with the above demands,” the party informed.
