Gyanvapi Mosque: Court Order Violates Law

CPI (M) Polit Bureau has issued the following statement on April 9

THE order of a civil court in Varanasi for a survey of the Gyanvapi mosque by the Archaeological Survey of India to ascertain whether a temple existed at the spot is violative of the extant law in the matter.

Interest On Small Savings Must Not Be Reduced

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the following statement on April 1, 2021.

THE finance minister’s retraction of the announcement made by the government yesterday of drastically reducing interest rates on small saving schemes does not fool anybody.
