Terming the denial of permission "political discrimination", the CPI(M) said this should be a matter of concern for all opposition parties and their MPs.
The CPI(M) on Saturday slammed the government, claiming it did not grant political clearance to party MP V Sivadasan to participate in a parliamentary forum in Venezuela and called it an attempt to stifle the voices of those who did not conform with the ruling party's views.
Terming the denial of permission "political discrimination", the CPI(M) said this should be a matter of concern for all opposition parties and their MPs.
"The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) condemns the central government's decision denying political clearance to Dr V Sivadasan, Member of Parliament (Rajya Sabha), to attend the Parliamentarian's Forum Against Fascism, being held in Caracas, Venezuela," the CPI(M) said in a statement.
