IN recent days, there has been an increase in attacks on CPI(M) Party offices and cadres in Tripura. We are giving instances of such attacks:On August 6,  Ranjit Ghosh, a senior  CPI(M) leader and former secretary of Kamalpur sub-divisional committee was attacked by  BJP miscreants. While comrades were trying to rescue him from the clutches of the attackers, 10 other comrades  also got severely wounded.  Ranjit Ghosh was hit on the head. He is now under treatment in Tripura Medical College Hospital, Agartala. He had 14 stitches on his head and one of his spinal bones got fractured.

AUGUST 9, 2021, was a truly memorable day. The vibrancy and determination of the Left movement was on full display throughout India. Lakhs of people were mobilised by Left class and mass fronts AIKS, CITU, AIAWU, AIDWA, DYFI, SFI, and also by other progressive forces, in hundreds of districts in 25 states across India on the slogan of 'Save India’ from corporate Hindutva, comprising the bankrupt BJP-RSS regime and its unholy alliance with the rapacious corporate lobby.

THE workers of India have observed ‘Save India Day’ on August 9 in over a lakh locations across the country over 14 demands including the demand to scrap the anti-worker labour codes and anti-people farm laws and Electricity Amendment Bill. Despite the lockdown restrictions, workers have participated in the protest programmes as per the call given by the Joint Platform of Central Trade Unions, and Independent Federations and Associations.

THE Left parties had opposed the Indo-US nuclear deal because it was an agreement which would have compromised India’s strategic autonomy and independent foreign policy.  It was a deal initiated by the United States to get India aboard on a military and strategic alliance. It had no real value for India’s energy security.More than a decade later, events have confirmed this. There has been no expansion of even a megawatt of civilian nuclear power in the country.

PEOPLE’S Alliance for Gupkar Declaration (PAGD) issued a statement on August 4, 2021. It stated that August 05, 2021, marks the completion of two years since the unprecedented assault on the Constitution of India was taken to nullify Article 370. It has damaged the very bond of relationship of people of J&K with the union of India, the statement said.
