GUNTUR: Hitting out at against the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government, Brinda Karat, Communist Party of India (Marxist) Polit Bureau member and Rajya Sabha MP, has said that the Centre is bent on hitting at the ‘heart of the Left movement’ in the country.“Their immediate target is the Left Front government in West Bengal, but the real target are the Left parties which have taken up the cause of peasants, dalits, students and other democratic forces in the country,” Ms. Karat said while addressing a well-attended public meeting at B.R. Stadium marking the end of the 32nd All India Conference of All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS) here on Sunday.
Ms. Karat said that the AIKS has given a call to defend West Bengal and called for launching of a mass struggle against Centre’s oppression. She pointed out that the Left cadre in Bengal had shown indomitable courage in the face of the violence unleashed by the Trinamool Congress and the Maoists. “Though our cadre are being killed and our properties destroyed, we will remain undaunted by the challenges.” Rooting for a ‘Maha’ Andhra Pradesh, she said that the fundamental duties of peasants in all the regions of the State were being ignored by forces of separatism which had hatched a conspiracy to divide the State on cultural lines. Accusing the UPA government of trying to break the ‘backbone’ of the country, she said that the neo-liberal policies of the Centre had led to destitution, debts and inequalities in India.
