The Communist Party of India is organising a big rally in Delhi on 1 September. Some local leaders and workers of the Party were harrased and put under house arrest in Uttar Pradesh. The Party released the text of the letter written by Communist Party of India General Secretary D. Raja to Home Minister Shri Amit Shah, regarding the matter.
Communist Party of India members under house arrest
Sir,
I wish to bring to your notice that an All-India Rally of the Communist Party of India is being scheduled to be held on 1 September 2026 at Ramlila Maidan, Delhi. Necessary permission for holding the said rally has already been granted by the government authorities.
People from remote areas of Uttar Pradesh, along with party leaders, are doing all preparations to participate in the above said rally.
It has come to the notice of our Party Headquarter that in various districts of Uttar Pradesh, the local police is harassing the people and leaders of our party placing them under illegal house arrest. We have definite reports from Aligarh, Hatharas, Ghaziabad, Sambhal Shahjahanpur and from other several districts. In some District police is threatening our Comrades not to participate in Delhi rally. This all is deplorable.
Such action is an open violation of the fundamental rights granted to the people by the Constitution of India and to the Political Parties by various laws and amounts to the denial of the democratic rights in a democratic country.
So, I request you to intervene in the matter and to instruct the police and state administration not to take any illegal and undemocratic actions against our party leaders and workers.
Waiting for your immediate and positive response.
Thanking you,
Sincerely yours,
D. Raja
General Secretary
