Early in the morning on June 16, 2017, Comrade Zafar Hussein, an activist of CPI(ML) in Pratapgarh, Rajasthan, was kicked, punched and beaten to death by karamcharis of the nagarpalika (municipality) at the instigation of Nagar Parishad commissioner Ashok Jain when he resisted their attempts to take photographs and videos of poor women from the Bagwasa Kachi basti who were going to defecate in the open. Such photography and videography of women defecating is a clear instance of sexual harassment against women. This incident has yet again established how the Swachh Bharat campaign too is becoming an excuse for lynch mob attacks and attacks on women's dignity and rights. This lyncging at the instigation and instance of Ashok Jain has shown up the dirty face of the Swachh Bharat campaign.
Comrade Zafar himself had submitted a memorandum to the Nagar Parishad some days back protesting against the campaign of public shaming and bullying of women for defecating in the open. In the memorandum he had demanded community toilets and repairing of the non-functional public latrines constructed under the Swacch Bharat campaign. He had also unsuccessfully sought to submit the memorandum to the DM who had refused to accept it.
There have been persistent protests to ensure that the killers are booked.
End Casteist and Communal Lynching!
Punish the Killers!
CPI-ML's Mashal Julus in Giridih on the eve of Giridih Bandh on July 3 (today) against series of lynching and hate crimes against Muslims in Jharkhand. In two BJP ruled states of Rajasthan and Jharkhand which also recently saw mob violence by saffron goons, CPI-ML is mobilising mass gatherings, protests, and bandhs against such violence.
