CPI(M)  Polit Bureau has issued the following statement on October 12

THE CPI(M) expresses its opposition to the expulsion of six students by the authorities of Mahatma Gandhi Antarrashtriya Hindi Viswa Vidyalaya in Wardha, Maharashtra for conducting a dharna and writing a letter to Prime Minister Modi on public issues, by invoking the model code of conduct now in force for the assembly elections.

Citing the model code of conduct, which is for election campaign, to take action is specious and irrelevant inside a campus. The victimisation of students by the university authorities is undemocratic and against all the values of Gandhi in whose name the university was established.

The CPI(M) demands the immediate cancellation of the order of expulsion of the students.
