TRIPURA: BJP Must Stop Interfering in Health Admin & Hospital Management

THE ruling BJP in Tripura must stop its illegal and unethical interference in the health administration as well as in hospital management amid the coronavirus pandemic. It should stop playing with people’s lives and take urgent measures that are necessary for restoration of people’s confidence in government-run hospitals. The BJP-led government must urgently appoint required number of doctors and nurses and stop showing disregard for frontline Covid-19 warriors. CPI(M) state secretary Gautam Das made these demands in a press conference on September 19.

Defend the Legacy of Telangana Armed struggle

CPI(M) Polit Bureau member Brinda Karat expressed concern over the great Telangana Armed Struggle being painted as a fight between Muslims and Hindus. She called on the Party cadre to explain to the people that it was a fight for sustenance, land and for abolition of vetti (bonded labour) and a great fight against feudalism.

SFI-DYFI hit the streets against unemployment and National Education Policy

IN this era of 'Achche Din', our country is witnessing an unprecedented rate of unemployment. Lakhs of government posts are vacant, and many of them are already abolished. The union government is systematically selling the PSUs, resulting in a permanent withdrawal of the government from the responsibility of providing jobs to the unemployed youths. 'Make in India' has completely failed to generate jobs.

Week-Long Campaign and Protests held

ON the call of the Polit Bureau of the CPI(M), national-level protest week was observed in the country from September 17-22. In some states these protests were held by the mass organisations of the people. The following issues were highlighted in the campaign:

Condemn Assault on Indian Parliament: Join Countrywide Protest against Farm Bills on Sept 25

CPI(M) Polit Bureau has issued the following statement on September 21

THE Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) strongly condemns the manner in which this BJP government is bulldozing legislations through the parliament violating all parliamentary procedures and denying MPs the right to discuss and seriously consider legislations that are being brought which have disastrous consequences both for the country and the people.

Assault on the Party – 1962-63

IN order to fight the third general elections in 1962, inner Party differences were pushed to the background. The crux of the election tactics decided was to break the monopoly of power of the Congress as it was proving to be a hindrance to the development of democracy and the ‘advancement of people’s cause’. Call was given to increase the representation of communists in the parliament and also in various state legislatures.

Farmers will Resist anti-Farmer Laws

MASSIVE resistance has been built up by the peasantry against the three anti-farmer ordinances/bills. The intense struggles across the country and especially in Punjab, Haryana and Western Uttar Pradesh also created enough pressure to force a union minister, Harsimrat Kaur Badal to resign from the union cabinet in protest against anti-farmer ordinances and legislation. If the legislations are “pro-farmer” as Modi claims, why are farmers coming out in united protests against these measures?

Modi’s Agriculture Bills Push Imperialist Agenda

THE two bills rammed through parliament last week were objectionable in every conceivable sense. The very fact of their being rammed through the Rajya Sabha, without being put to vote despite demands for a division, was grossly anti-democratic. The fact of the centre making unilateral and fundamental changes in agricultural marketing arrangements which fall within the state list of the seventh schedule of the constitution was a blow against federalism.
