Dear comrades,
Through you, the Partido Komunista ng Pilipinas (PKP-1930, the Philippine Communist Party) sends its warmest fraternal greetings to the 21st Congress of the Communist Party of India (Marxist).

Your 21st Congress is held when India is in the grip of a grave political and economic crisis, with the main rightwing party – the Hindu fundamentalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led by Narendra Modi – having grabbed central power with the reported unlimited use of money and the suppression of voting rights of opponents in the elections.
