Condemn the violent attack on press freedom.

Anandabazar Patrika had reported the Sangh brigade's midnight attack on Jadavpur University with the caption "Saffron Hooliganism". The ruling establishment responded first by filing an FIR against the papers's editor and senior journalists. And today Sanghi thugs vindicated the caption by staging another show of saffron hooliganism and vandalism in the newspaper's office.

The state committee of Communist Party of India -Marxist Leninist- Liberation CPIML has issued the following statement condemning this violent attack on press freedom.

*গণতন্ত্রের চতুর্থস্তম্ভ সংবাদমাধ্যমের কার্যালয়ে ফ্যাসিস্ট গেরুয়া সন্ত্রাসের তীব্র নিন্দা জানাই*।
---------------------
আজ ১ সেপ্টেম্বর আনন্দবাজার পত্রিকার কলকাতাস্থিত মূখ্য কার্যালয়ে বিজেপি-আরএসএসের গৈরিক সন্ত্রাসীরা ফ্যাসিস্ট কায়দায় হামলা চালায়। এরা সংবাদপত্রের অফিসের দেওয়ালে গেরুয়া রঙ লেপে দিয়ে গুন্ডামির বহি:প্রকাশ ঘটিয়েছে এবং নিজেদের ফ্যাসিবাদী চরিত্রকে উন্মোচিত করেছে।

১৯ আগস্ট যাদবপুর বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ের ক্যাম্পাসের অভ্যন্তরে স্থানীয় বিধায়িকা ও পূর্বতন অস্থায়ী উপাচার্যের নেতৃত্বে অবৈধভাবে অনুপ্রবেশকারী গেরুয়া বাহিনী মধ্যরাত অবধি প্রশাসনিক ভবনে অগ্নিসংযোগ ও হোস্টেলবাসী ছাত্রছাত্রীদের উপর প্রাণঘাতী হামলার প্রচেষ্টা নেয়। পরের দিন আবারও মিছিল নিয়ে ক্যাম্পাসে তাদের অনুপ্রবেশের উদ্যোগ বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ের বামপন্থী ছাত্রসংগঠনগুলি, প্রাক্তনী ও স্থানীয় বাসিন্দাদের সংহত প্রতিরোধে ব্যর্থ হয়।

এই অভূতপূর্ব ও ন্যক্কারজনক হামলাকে আনন্দবাজার পত্রিকা 'গেরুয়া গুন্ডামি' নামে অভিহিত করায় সংবাদপত্রের মতপ্রকাশের সাংবিধানিক অধিকারের উপর কোপ বসাতে ও এক ভয়ের রাজত্ব কায়েম করতে মরিয়া বিজেপি- আরএসএসের গুন্ডারা প্রকাশ্য দিবালোকে হামলা নামিয়ে এনেছে। সংবাদপত্রের বিরুদ্ধে রাজ্যের মুখ্যমন্ত্রীর প্রত্যক্ষ হুমকি ও উস্কানি এই হামলার প্ররোচনা জুগিয়েছে।

আমরা এই গেরুয়া সন্ত্রাসী হামলাকে তীব্র ধিক্কার জানাই এবং হামলাকারী গৈরিক গুন্ডাদের অবিলম্বে গ্রেপ্তার করে, এদের বিরুদ্ধে দ্রুত তদন্ত সাপেক্ষে দৃষ্টান্তমূলক শাস্তির দাবি জানাই।

Defeat the Manusmriti Mindset: Condemn the Casteist Attack on Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and Reject the Vindictive FIR Against Rahul Gandhi.

(Statement issued by Dipankar Bhattacharya, General Secretary, CPI(ML) Liberation, September 1, 2026)

Veteran Congress leader and currently President of India's biggest opposition party, Mallikarjun Kharge faced the Sangh brigade's hate-filled casteist mindset in Uttarakhand. The Sangh brigade conducted a 'shuddhikaran havan' (purification ritual) at Ramlila Maidan in Haldwani after Kharge had delivered a speech. Kharge ji flagged this issue in Parliament and subsequently Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi rightly demanded a police case against this shocking case of caste discrimination under the SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities Act. The so-called purification exercise was nothing but practice of untouchability by other means.

Ironically now Rahul Gandhi himself faces the allegation of caste discrimination with an FIR lodged against him at the Haldwani police station! How can demanding justice against the practice of untouchability be construed as an atrocity?

Ever since Rahul Gandhi challenged the Manusmriti mindset, first in the context of women's freedom in his Pune meeting and then condemning the Haldwani episode in a subsequent press conference, we can see palpable discomfort and even anger and ridicule in the Godi Media and a veritable 'Save Manusmriti' campaign by certain sections.
The mention of Manusmriti as a patriarchal and casteist code of slavery and institutionalised or ritualised injustice is being projected as selective 'anti-Hindu prejudice'. Ram Madhav described Manusmriti as an ancient moral code which has little relevance in today's era of the Constitution.

Nobody would have been discussing the Manusmriti today had it really been just an ancient scripture or archaic code without any connotation for India's contemporary social and cultural milieu. It is instructive to remember that twenty-two years before the Constitution of India was adopted by the Constituent Assembly, Babasaheb Ambedkar had publicly rejected and burnt the Manusmriti on 25 December 1927. The journey of the Indian Constitution had begun with the explicit rejection of the Manusmriti.

The antagonism between the Manusmriti and the Constitution did not end with the adoption of the Constitution. In fact, the RSS had reacted to the Constitution by editorially rejecting it in its mouthpiece Organiser, calling it a document with nothing Indian about it and describing the Manusmriti as India's authentic and ideal constitutional foundation. The ban on the RSS was lifted by Sardar Patel only after the RSS gave written assurance to accept the Constitution and the National Flag.
The relentless subversion and violation of the Constitution by the Modi government and the Sangh brigade and the continuing celebration of the Manusmriti mindset whether by way of rewarding of r**e convicts or conducting of purification rituals to insult leaders of Dalit origin however tell us that the war between the Manusmriti and the Constitution is far from over. In this context, it is also pertinent to take note of the meeting between Union Minister JP Nadda and leaders of the anti-reservation movement.

Only a complete and firm rejection of the patriarchal and casteist moral code, call it the Brahmanical order or the Manusmriti mindset, can advance India towards a true fulfillment of the Constitutional goal of a sovereign socialist secular democratic republic and the motto of justice, liberty, equality and fraternity.

We are deeply saddened by the horrific flash floods along the Bhote Koshi River in Nepal, which have swept through parts of Nuwakot and Dhading districts, causing catastrophic devastation and loss of lives. The massive floods, originating in the Tibetan region, have claimed numerous lives, including several Indian tourists, and affected hundreds of people across the border.

The flash floods have also heightened the threat of flooding downstream along the Gandak River in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. The Union and state governments must immediately strengthen all necessary precautionary and relief measures to ensure the safety and protection of people living in vulnerable areas.

We express our deepest condolences to all those who have lost their loved ones and stand in solidarity with people across borders in the fragile Himalayan region, who are enduring immense suffering and devastation in the wake of this tragic disaster.

The Union government must immediately initiate all necessary efforts to evacuate stranded and affected Indian tourists in Nepal and ensure that they receive all required assistance. At the same time, India must extend all possible humanitarian, rescue and relief support to the people of Nepal in this hour of grave crisis.
