Chandigarh (Haryana) [India]: A four-member delegation of the Communist Party (CPI) will visit the violence-affected areas in Gurugram and Nuh in Haryana on Sunday.

The four-member delegation including CPI Rajya Sabha MP, Binoy Viswam, CPI general secretary Amarjeet Kaur, party MP Sandosh Kumar P, party leader Dariyav Singh Kashyap will visit violence-affected areas in Gurugram and Nuh districts.

We are with the people. Communalism is no solution to any issue. There are divisive forces on either side to divide people. So, we are there to understand the situation.”

Violence had broken out between two groups on July 31 in Haryana’s Nuh district, on Monday in Nuh that claimed the lives of six people including two Home Guards.
