CPI Announces Nationwide Protest Against Atrocities Targeting Marginalized Communities
Kalaburagi, India – November 16, 2025 – The Communist Party of India (CPI) has announced a nationwide protest scheduled for Tuesday, November 18, 2025, in response to what they call a “growing insecurity” among vulnerable communities in India. The protest is aimed at highlighting the increasing incidents of atrocities against Scheduled Castes, Adivasis, women, and minorities.
Speaking at a press conference in Kalaburagi on Friday, Dr. Mahesh Kumar Rathod, CPI district secretary, condemned the escalating violence and discrimination targeting marginalized groups. He cited figures from the 2023 National Crime Records Bureau, noting that the report registered nearly 57,000 cases of atrocities against the Scheduled Castes and around 2,835 cases of sexual harassment and assault on Scheduled Castes women. Dr. Rathod also alleged that the official figures represent only a fraction of the reality, as many cases go unreported due to fear, social stigma, and a lack of effective police response.
“The situation on the ground has been steadily worsening,” said Dr. Rathod. “Marginalized communities continue to face violence and discrimination, and we must demand accountability.”
As part of the nationwide call to action, the CPI Kalaburagi district unit will stage a demonstration in front of the Deputy Commissioner’s office on Tuesday. The CPI is demanding stern action against officials who fail to properly investigate and address complaints of violence and discrimination targeting marginalized communities.
