Description
Summary:Civil rights activists, scholars and even physicians who went to Jungle Mahal for onthe-spot investigation and for treating patients voluntarily were arrested by your police forces. The people who have been resisting state repression in the field whom unfortunately the government treats as their enemies, are actually our sons and daughters - much exploited and deprived for decades together. A conducive atmosphere can be created only when arbitrary and indiscriminate arrests and illegal detention by the joint forces are stopped, the forces are withdrawn from the area and all political prisoners are released by withdrawing all cases registered against them.
