Dassault CEO: Some Clarity Peeping Out of Rafale Haze?

A RECENT interview by Dassault chairman CEO Eric Trappier (Mint, October 26, 2018) throws some light on the Rafale deal, even if inadvertently or by reading between the lines. The deal remains shrouded in mystery mainly due to the stubborn refusal of the government to share information and due to so-called clarifications by government spokespersons including the minister of defence which have only caused more confusion.

On Fixed Term Employment – Another Attack on the Working Class

THE 22nd Congress of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) strongly condemns the BJP-led government’s latest attack on the working class in the form of extending Fixed Term Employment to all sectors through a notification amending the Industrial Employment (Standing Order) Rules. This move is an integral part of the neoliberal agenda of labour law “reforms” that are meant to impose conditions of virtual slavery on the working class.

On Subversion of Democracy in the Ongoing West Bengal Panchayat Poll

THE 22nd Congress of the Communist Party of India expresses grave concern about the extreme threat faced by grassroots democracy in West Bengal. This is clearly manifest in events leading up to the panchayat elections in 2018, where the entire election process has now been rendered uncertain. It may be recalled that during Left Front rule, panchayati raj institutions in the state were celebrated in India and abroad as shining examples of democratic decentralisation. Panchayat elections were held under TMC rule for the first time in 2013.

Condemn the Brazen Aggression against Syria

THE 22nd Congress of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) unequivocally condemns the unilateral and unjustified imperialist aggression of Syria by the United States and some of its NATO allies.Over a hundred missiles, targeting three facilities in Damascus and Homs, were launched from ships and planes. Last year, President Trump accused the government forces of using poison gas and ordered missile strikes on a Syrian airbase.The missile strike on Syria by the armed forces of the United States, France, and the United Kingdom is a crude instance of imperialist aggression.

On Dilution of the Scheduled Castes and Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act And Organised Violence against Dalits

ON March 20, 2018, the Supreme Court passed an order that significantly diluted the provisions of the Scheduled Castes and Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. The court issued guidelines to guarantee protection for public servants and private individuals from “arbitrary and immediate arrest” under the Scheduled Castes and Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.The judgment will have adverse consequences, particularly in the context of the growing number of atrocities that affect the country’s most oppressed sections.

On Palestine

THE 22nd Congress of the CPI(M) condemns Israel’s continuing occupation of Palestinian territories, its use of sniper squads to shoot peaceful protesters at the Gaza border, and attempts to change the demography of Jerusalem.During the series of 45-day protests, which will culminate in the Nakba day on May 15, the Palestinians in Gaza, who are under a brutal siege, decided to peacefully protest at the border. Israel deployed sniper squads that fired live ammunition, killing dozens of Palestinians, and injuring more than 2,000.

In Support of the Nationwide Action by Jan Ekta Jan Adhikar Andolan on May 23, 2018

THE 22nd Congress of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) welcomes the coming together of various mass organisations, Left, democratic, secular organisations, other progressive groups, and individuals under the banner of the Jan Ekta Jan Adhikar Andolan (JEJAA) to fight against communal authoritarian rule and the neoliberal policies of the RSS-led BJP government.The national convention of more than 100 such organisations held in New Delhi on September 18, 2017 has resolved to form JEJAA at the all-India level and to build a network in all states, districts, blocks and villages an

On the Increasing Attacks on Higher Education in India

THE 22nd Congress of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) notes with grave concern the growing threats posed to higher education by the promotion of commercial interests, by the pursuit of an explicit communal agenda, and by means of the centralisation of decision-making powers in higher education.  In the last four years of BJP-rule, democratic bodies in institutes of higher education have been systematically undermined through the use of notifications by the MHRD and the UGC, bypassing consultations with the academic community.
