PM or home minister must make statement in Parliament on security breach: CPI

Bhubaneswar:Asserting that INDIA alliance is determined to end BJP rule in the country, CPI general secretary D Raja on Monday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi or the Union Home Minister Amit Shah must make a statement in Parliament on the security breach.

Raja, who is here to attend a two-day national executive meeting of the party, termed the incident as a "serious breach of security".

"The PM or the Union home minister must make a statement on the floor of Parliament. Tell the nation how serious it is. Outside the House, they keep making comments here and there. But, they do not take Parliament seriously," he said.

A day before the INDIA alliance’s crucial meeting on Tuesday, Raja said, "The election results of the five states have demonstrated that unity of secular and democratic forces is needed to defeat the anti-people, pro-corporate BJP government." He said the success of Congress and CPI combine in Telangana is encouraging.

Noting that the national executive of the CPI has congratulated its Telangana unit and people of the state for the success, Raja said, "Arrogance of BJP leadership and their polarisation efforts are rising as 2024 Parliamentary election approaches."

The CPI, as part of the INDIA alliance, is determined to defeat the BJP and ensure the victory of democratic and secular forces by working towards the unity of all left, democratic and secular forces in the country.
