Started in June 29th 1963 it has been in the forefront to bring into the public the voice of the workers,downtrodden people, dalits etc for the last 47 years. More than a  party newspaper it has been catering to the needs of the common reader. From just one edition in Madurai, it has grown to 3 edition ( Others Chennai and Coimbatore). Also the newspaper is using the latest technology in printing. The readership also has gone up considerably. 

Theekathir is being run not for profits, but for the people, and it continue to exist as long as there was need for achieving finer values. Theekathir  continue to be run, highlighting the problems of the people, espousing their solutions and fighting for independence, finer values, secularism, federalism and freedom, and keeping itself away from useless and perverted values of espousing the cause of communalism and consumerism, highlighting earning of huge profits as a great virtue, and indulging in sensationalism. 

Thunderbolt team wishes success to all comrades behind Theekathir for their path forward in the right direction with the right will..

July 5: All India Hartal

Left Parties Statement

 

The Congress-led government has delivered another cruel blow to the people by increasing the price of petrol, diesel, kerosene oil and cooking gas steeply and by deregulating the prices and leaving it to the market.  This comes after its refusal to take any effective step to curb price rise of food items and essential commodities which is causing acute suffering to the people.

 

On top of the food inflation at nearly 17 per cent and the general inflation rate in double digits, the Congress-led government has callously raised the fuel prices making the burden on the people unbearable.

 

The government is putting forth deceptive arguments to justify the hike and refuses to listen to the protests of the people.

 

The only way for the people is to launch a powerful collective protest to compel the government to heed their voice to withdraw the hikes.

 

The Left parties have consulted other secular opposition parties. Along with the Left parties, the AIADMK, Telugu Desam Party, Samajwadi Party, Biju Janata Dal, Janata Dal (S) and Indian National Lok Dal have decided to call for a countrywide hartal on July 5. Discussions with some other secular opposition parties to join the hartal is also on.

 

We appeal to all sections of the people to register their protest by joining the hartal.

 

The hartal will be from 6.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m.

 

All essential services like supply of water, milk, electricity, hospital and emergency services will be exempt from the hartal.
