Finally, the Communists in India (both CPI and CPI-M)
have come out in open support of Khushboo as the only
parties to have done so! And the Madras High Court
has stayed defamation proceedings against Khushboo
(so far 14 cases have been stayed. Five more charges
are still against her).
CPI state secretary D. Pandian said the agitations
were conducted with political motives (indirectly
referring to Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) and Dalit
Panthers of India (DPI)) and had been led in
‘‘undesirable dimensions’’ and thus had degenerated
to the ‘‘low level’’ of dictating what kind of dress
tennis star Sania Mirza should wear on court.
Now its the turn of the prime minister to stop
appeasing the reactionaries.
