THE American Seventh Fleet warship’s intrusion into India’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) waters off the coast of Lakshadweep is a gratuitous challenge to India’s sovereignty.

The statement of the Seventh Fleet makes it clear that this operation was for “challenging India’s excessive maritime claims”.

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.  It is clear that due to the ongoing assembly elections in five states this decision has been kept on hold.  This is similar to the dictate imposed by the government on oil retailers  to not hike the prices of petroleum products till the elections are over.

IT is unfortunate that the Supreme Court has opened the way for a re-examination of the Places of Worship (Special Provision) Act, 1991. The Act mandates that the character of all religious places of worship should be maintained as it was on August 15, 1947, and no suit or proceedings shall lie in a court of law with respect to the character of places of worship.

THE Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) action of registering a case against the Kerala Infrastructure Investment Fund Board (KIIFB) is a blatant misuse of the agency as a political tool by the BJP government at the centre.

The finance minister, Nirmala Sitharaman, while addressing a BJP election meeting in Kerala made unfounded allegations against the KIIFB and the LDF government.  Following this, the ED has taken this totally unwarranted action.

THE Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) strongly denounces yet another hike in the prices of petrol, diesel and cooking gas.  These hikes in excise duties come at a time when international oil prices have fallen with the base price for petrol being Rs 47.12 in 2014 to Rs 29.34 in 2021, i.e., nearly 50 per cent.
