The Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] has fiercely condemned the mass detentions and police repression unleashed against protesters in New Delhi and other parts of India, accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's BJP government of trampling on fundamental democratic rights.
The crackdown came as thousands of young people, students and opposition activists attempted to demonstrate against the Election Commission's controversial revision of electoral rolls, demanding the removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
