The CPI(M), Delhi state committee strongly condemns the heinous attack on a Christian congregation at J J Colony, Khayala, by goons belonging to the BJP. This attack is a sign of things to come, under the benign eye of the central government led by the communal BJP.

The shocking incident cannot be allowed to be brushed under the carpet. Doing so will have very serious repercussions for communal harmony in the city. The CPI(M) demands immediate arrest of the perpetrators of this crime. It also demands that the Lt. Governor immediately call a meeting of all political parties to discuss the modalites for preventing any such incident taking place in future. We appeal to all democratic citizens and organisations to raise their powerful voice of protest against this crime and the attempts of the BJP and its allied organisations to target the minority communities.
