Protest against Dima Hasao (Assam) Police Killings
2 pm, 30th January, Assam Bhawan, New Delhi
Two people killed in police firing and dozens other critically injured
for protesting against an RSS leader's sensational statement!
We
appeal to all democratic and progressive forces in Delhi to join us for
a protest against the police killings in Dima Hasao district, Assam
outside Assam Bhawan, Chanakyapuri, New Delhi on 30th January (Tuesday), 2 pm.
Delhi
Action Committee for Assam (DACA) strongly condemns the brutal attack
and police firing at protesters at Maibang in the Dima Hasao district of
Assam. The protesters were protesting against the comments made by a
prominent RSS activist on the inclusion of parts of the district in
Greater Nagalim under the plan which has come to be known as the RSS Draft Plan on Naga Accord.
The barbaric attack and police firing led to the death of two people
while several others are seriously injured with bullet wounds. In Assam,
particularly, there has been a rise in police atrocities against
protesters. Since the current BJP government came to power on 24 May
2016, the Maibang firing is the 5th incident where protesters have lost
lives in police firing.
At
a time when so-called fringe right-wing groups are on a rampage against
the release of a fictional film and no serious police actions are
taken, these attacks on peaceful protestors are a sign of fascist
measures adopted by the government against the genuine concerns of the
people.
