AIKS Condemns Police Notice to AIKS General Secretary Com. Hannan Mollah

Repression, Threats and Intimidation Shall Not Deter Farmers’ Protests

Unconditionally Withdraw Cases Filed Across India on Protesting Farmers and Workers

AIKS strongly condemns the cowardly effort by the BJP Government to use the Delhi Police in a bid to intimidate leaders and activists protesting against the Anti-Farmer Acts. AIKS condemns Police notice to AIKS General Secretary Hannan Mollah. On 3rd December, 2020 Delhi Police authorities served a notice charging him under section 188 IPC which provides for 7 years imprisonment for protesting at Parliament Street on 25th September, 2020. He was participating in the All India Protest Action against the Anti-Farmer Acts. The notice served also asks him to produce himself in the court of Police officer whenever directed to do so. The BJP Government is taking recourse to Epidemic Diseases Act, 1897 to curb political protests. This is a clear violation of fundamental rights and the BJP Government is on the pretext of the Pandemic and Lockdown seeking to clampdown democratic protests.

All through the Lockdown the BJP Government has been misusing the provisions of the Act selectively on protests against its policies and against organisations building resistance to them. Violations by RSS-BJP on numerous occasions are ignored. AIKS calls upon all democratic organisations to rise up to protect our right to protest. AIKS demands unconditional withdrawal of cases filed across India on protesting farmers, workers and activists. AIKS calls upon all units to protest against this attack on democratic rights and the notice issued on the AIKS General Secretary across the country on 5th December, 2020.
