Leader’s Killing Condemned The Polit Bureau of the
Communist Party of THE Polit Bureau of the
CPI(M) strongly condemns the killing of Comrade
Dilip Sarkar, secretariat
member of the CPI(M) district committee of
Bardhaman and the district secretary
of the CITU. Dilip Sarkar was shot dead while
on a morning walk in the
Asansol-Raniganj industrial belt on June 9,
2013. Dilip
Sarkar was a former MLA and
leader of the Steel Workers Union. This is the third incident
in the district, since the Trinamul Congress came
into office, of CPI(M) and
trade union leaders being targeted
for
attack while
they were
walking in the morning. This
heinous killing is part of the systematic efforts
to physically eliminate the
leaders of the CPI(M) and the trade union
movement. The CPI(M) demands a
proper investigation and the arrest of those
guilty of this crime. The
Polit Bureau conveys its heartfelt condolences to
the family members of Dilip
Sarkar.
