Cycle rally to identify tribals' problems

Activists of Girijana Sangham led by former  MLA Sunnam Rajaiah pedalling their way to tribal habitations in Khammam district on Sunday.

The Girijana Sangham has launched a 16-day cycle rally at the remote Krishnapuram village in Wajedu mandal on Sunday as part of a mass contact programme to exert pressure on the government to make adequate allocations to the welfare of tribals in proportion to their population in the next State budget.

Former MP, Midiam Baburao, flagged off the cycle rally at a programme held under the aegis of Girijana Sangham at Krishnapuram village. The District Cooperative Central Bank (DCCB) new chairman Y. Ravi Kumar and others were present.

The cyclists led by former MLA and Girijana Sangham district president Sunnam Rajaiah embarked on their 16-day cycle rally to traverse a distance of about 429 kms and cover around 300 tribal habitations in Bhadrachalam agency.Earlier, addressing the villagers Mr Rajaiah alleged that the tribals were struggling to make both ends meet and living in deplorable conditions in the agency area due to the indifferent attitude of the successive governments towards their plight.

‘Fund diversion'

“The diversion of tribal sub-plan funds to the plain areas has cast a shadow on the welfare of the tribals,” he charged. “The cycle yatra is aimed at identifying the problems faced by the tribals and mobilising the public opinion to secure sufficient funds for the welfare of tribals and development of tribal habitations, he said.

The rally would culminate in a ‘Maha Dharna' in Bhadrachalam on February 14. The Communist Party of Inida (Marxist) Polit Bureau member and MP Brinda Karat and other prominent leaders will participate, he said. He said that the activists of Girijana Sangham will lay a siege to the Integrated Tribal Development Agency office in Bhadrachalam on the concluding day of the rally.

Meeting of 10 Communist Workers Parties of Balkan countries

On the 22^nd of January in Thessaloniki, on the initiative of the KKE, a Meeting of 10 Communist Workers Parties from 8Balkan countries was held – from Albania, Bulgaria, Greece, Croatia, FYROM, Romania, Serbia and Turkey.

This meeting contributed to the exchange of views concerning the situation which has developed in the Balkans and the Eastern Mediterranean, under the conditions of the international capitalist economic crisis, the intensification of imperialist aggression and inter-imperialist contradictions.

The communist and workers parties of the Balkans assess that the real cause of the crisis is to be found in the sharpening of the central contradiction of capitalism, the contradiction between the social character of production and the capitalist appropriation of its results. The people’s problems as a whole are also sharpening, poverty is on the increase, and both relative and absolute destitution embrace a large percentage of the population in the Balkan countries.

The discovery of new energy sources in the Balkans and Eastern Mediterranean, and the intensity of their exploitation by capital, will not only not bring peace and stability to our region as is claimed by the imperialists and their governments but on the contrary will foster new sharper rivalries. At the same time, the peoples will pay much more for electricity, petrol, natural gas because the rich energy deposits in our region are not the property of the people, but are overrun by the monopolies and by both domestic and foreign business consortia.

The communist and workers parties of the Balkans in these conditions salute the struggles which have been waged in Greece, Romania and elsewhere so that the plutocracy and not the people pay for the capitalist crisis. They also salute the struggles against imperialism, in the defence of working class and popular rights and gains, against nationalism and racism, for the rights of immigrants, which have taken place during the recent period in our region. The Communist and Workers Parties are called upon to be in the front line organizing all these struggles.

The participants in this meeting also stated their readiness to confront and fight against the large-scale propaganda and blackmail of both NATO and the EU. The aim of this propaganda and blackmail is the full accession and complete assimilation of the Balkan countries to the imperialist plans, on the basis of the so-called new “NATO’s New Strategic Concept”, which was recently approved in Lisbon.

Alongside NATO and the EU, the bourgeois classes of the candidate member-states, the NGOs, and the opportunist forces, such as the so-called Party of the European Left, play a leading role in this propaganda aimed at creating illusions.

The accession of the Balkan countries to the EU and NATO, the widening of these two imperialist organization into the Balkans not only will not benefit the peoples or bring them peace and prosperity but quite the opposite. Besides, the peoples of the Balkan and other European countries which are already members have acquired much negative experience and can bear witness that assimilation to NATO and the EU brings the working class and the people poverty and other problems. Of course, at the same time, it ensures even greater profitability and privileges for big capital

The so-called dream of EU and NATO accession which is promoted by the bourgeois classes cannot erase the memory and nostalgia of the Balkan peoples for the socialism which they knew. Indeed, they have irrefutable experience that the people’s problems and needs can be resolved through another form of state-power, without the exploitation of man by man, socialism-despite its weaknesses.

The common desire was expressed at the meeting to strengthen and to increase the joint activities and the coordination of our Parties, as well as the promotion of broader anti-imperialist activity, in the following direction:

• Solidarity to the class-oriented labour struggles, the development of the struggle for the rights of the workers, the youth, women, which have broken out in the Balkans
• The strengthening and broadening of the pro-peace, anti-NATO, anti-imperialist movement in the Balkans.
• The strengthening of the peoples’ condemnation of anti-communism and the anti-historical identification of communism with fascism, which is promoted by the EU and the bourgeois classes.
• The development of solidarity with the peoples in struggle, such as the Palestinian people. And for the liberation of the 5 Cuban revolutionaries from the American prisons and for the abolition of the economic blockade of Cuba.

So that the popular struggle against the imperialist military presence in Balkans be strengthened, against the so-called anti-missile shield, against the foreign bases and armies, against the participation of military forces from the Balkan countries in NATO and EU missions in other countries. So that our countries disentangle themselves from the imperialist plans and organizations.

We demand:

That our countries have no involvement in the new imperialist wars, in the Middle East, in Africa, in the Caucasus and in the threats which are issued against the peoples which struggle against and call into question the imperialist “world order”.

Call of the 13th February Red Brigade: 8th Left Front Government

 Moment it is to bash the TMC-Maoist nexus out; moment it is to show them the strength of the Red Brigade; moment it is to reconcile the success of people’s struggle for over 34 years in West Bengal; moment it is to save thousands of lives from violent political extremism; moment it is to swear in reaching the job for all; 100% literacy rate; a total balanced growth between agriculture and industry to retain the historic success of land reforming and agriculture.

People of West Bengal will prove the real strength of not only the Left Front unity but the greatest progressive alliance with the common mass on all round development of human capital. The call of the hour is therefore to create a history of people’s upsurge in Brigade Parade Ground on 13^th February, 2011. The huge mass would start the campaign for formation of the 8^th Left Front government

.

Districts are already in full swing of their preparation for 13^th Brigade. Flags, festoons, banners from Darjeeling to Jangal Mahal have started propagating the call of the 13^th.

 

Resist TMC-Maoist Violence in Jangal Mahal

The backdrop of such a rally is clear; the danger is imminent; the loss of lives is very expensive. The TMC-Maoist nexus started fresh killing and political atrocity in the whole South Bengal centering Nandigram and adjacent areas. From ‘Nandigram to Netai’ Maoists and Trinamool Congress are reciprocating each other by giving negotiated space to spread a reign of terror. ‘A central minister directly involved in the alliance with rightwing extremist forces and Maoists,’ said Prakash Karat. He added that ‘to decimate the Communist-led popular movements in Bengal, over 365 comrades were martyred since the 2009 Lok Sabha election and 249 Left activists killed alone in Maoist-dominated Jangal Mahal comprising three districts.’

 

False ‘Stone’ Promises and bankrupt Railway

The Ministry of Railway has been sought to be used by Mamata Banerjee as a political instrument to hoodwink people of West Bengal. The projects have been announced in numbers although most of them have remained as declarations only.

 

Massive price hike accelerates food inflation:

UPA-II in the last seven months has increased price of oil seven times which further gives rise to all essential commodities. General Price hike has already gone far over the limit what common people could have tolerated. The government has totally been perplexed over the price rise issue that has resulted in some mere hollow assurances made by the Finance Minister. The government is now taking some make-shift arrangements, which would further endanger common people.

 

Red Brigade on 13^th February to reaffirm the sustainable developmental process

Red Brigade on 13^th February would call for the continuance of the development of economic and social progress in the state. It will call for consolidation of democratic rights of the people which has been achieved through arduous struggle.

CPI (M) flays BJP for “fuelling polarisation” in J&K

 

The CPI(M) on Sunday lashed out at the BJP over its plans to hoist the national flag in Srinagar on the Republic Day, saying the saffron party had a history of fishing in troubled waters to seek political advantage and sharpening communal polarization. 

Flaying the BJP for being adamant on hoisting national flag at Lal Chowk in Srinagar on January 26, CPI(M) Secretary M.Y. Tarigami alleged that the saffron party and Sangh fountainhead RSS were whipping up frenzy against minorities.“BJP’s choice of hoisting the flag in Srinagar alone and not elsewhere in the country is aimed at gaining political mileage by sharpening communal polarisation in the state,” he told reporters here. 

“RSS does not use tricolour in its functions. The RSS headquarter at Nagpur does not hoist it nor do the RSS Shakhas display it in daily parades,” he said.Mr. Tarigami said the saffron party has a history of fishing in troubled waters to seek political advantage and sharpening communal polarization. 

The Amarnath Yatra Movement that the BJP spearheaded into 2008 resulted in wide spread dislocation of normal life and strengthened the alienation between the two religious communities along with widening differences between Jammu region and the Valley, the Kulgam MLA alleged. Mr. Tarigami said the BJP was using the national flag to strengthen vote bank politics.

Stop Saffronisation of Himachal Pradesh University

Press release/dated:-21st January,2010

The Himachal Pradesh state secretariat of the CPIM has warned the government to immediately stop the saffronisation of the Himachal Pradesh University and  call back the newly appointed Controller of Examination (COE) to his eligible post. The government it seems has not learnt any lesson from the  past failures and is determined to repeat them just to get its own ideologically  moored men into the top posts despite the fact that such people do not even have the essential qualifications. The CPIM has stated, the post of COE is a sensitive one with impeccable integrity to the institution and not to the ideology.  Since recent past the COEs have faced the brunt of their ineptness and many a times the exams for different streams had to be refixed or redone. The case of CPMT is the classical one. Appointing a COE with strong ideological affinity would further worsen the situation the CPIM feels. 

Secondly the party has stated, the  university is an autonomous body and the appointments must be done according to the statute and the ordinances that have been prepared and amended in due course of time.  The HPU ordinance clause 27.5 categorically states the eligibility criteria for the post of COE. It states, quote, “ Masters degree in any faculty with five years’ experience as a Principal in a college affiliated to or maintained by the University”.Unquote The rider clearly states that the eligibility is at least 5 years experience as Principal of a college that is affiliated with HPU. Whereas the incumbent COE happens to be  not even 5 months in office as Principal of Rajkiya Kanya Maha Vidyalaya , Shimla. 

The CPIM has further stated, the university belongs to its community that comprises of the teachers, employees and the students. All these three sections have most vehemently opposed the appointment of the present COE for the aforesaid reasons. Not just that all the elected bodies including that of the employees, teachers union and students are agitating and demanding the recall of the COE. The BJP must respect this sentiment of the university community and place the COE at his actual post.

Lenin lived! Lenin is living! Lenin will live!

On January 21 over Red Square in Moscow took place the placing of colors to Lenin's tomb on his 87th Death Remembrance Day

On January 21 in Moscow was issued frost day, but, in spite of this, on the good tradition to return the tribute of respect to the first leader of the USSR, to the founder of the Russian Federation V I Lenin arrived Muscovites and guests of the capital. The column of people was lengthened through entire Red Square. In the column many young people, they hold in the hands Red Banners and portraits V I Lenin

The deputy chairman Central Committee of the Communist Party of Russian Federation Kashin appeared before the journalists. “We today incline the heads before V I Lenin, Lenin is the founder of the people Bolshevik Party, the founder of the Russian State and the founder of the Soviet regime. This was great theorist and brilliant practitioner. His services to humanity are acknowledged in the entire world. In the created with it state of workers and peasants each person of labor at long last felt himself by owner on the native earth. Leninist great exploit made possible to workers and peasants to become the most educated people, to conduct industrialization and collectivization, to create the strong army, which could break ridge to fascism and free peace from Fascist plague”.

He is also the nationality of the leader of the world proletariat: “Iwe today, Russian people, entire multinational people of Russia are proud, that V I Leninwas born in our country and on our earth of lime-pits his brilliant matters. Today as the genius Lenin luminesces never by the star of the first value and brightness. This is especially realized now, when you begin to understand into what gloom it descended our country in the last 20 years. [Kushchevskiy] syndrome struck entire Russia, since everywhere reign the corruption and the mutual responsibility”.

Vladimir Ivanovich also commented the last statements “political pygmies” about the need for the extension of Lenin's body from the mausoleum over Red Square: “Authority today slanders our salient history, and we consider this the top of large cynicism and [rusofobii]. Certain deputy from “united Russia”, even I do not want to call his surname, recently he proposed to carry out from the mausoleum Lenin's body . We categorically object to this. We request media outlets not “to [piarit]” these people, which raise a similar infamy into the rank of policy. They only distract the attention of population from the vital problems by these statements. Today people are perturbed by other problems: with an increase in the prices of food products, with an increase in the prices of the public services, by energy collapse. People also disturb the absence of the possibility to obtain normal treatment and other problems”.

“We will do entire possible that the memory about Lenin his theoretical heritage, practical matters would be unforgettable and would remain world property. For us Leninist transactions - handbook, according to which we learn, how it is necessary to fight for its rights. We will fight for the labor, democracy and socialism”,

Confiscate Black Money Stashed in Swiss Bank Accounts

 

The laxity of the UPA-II Government in unearthing black money stashed in Swiss Bank accounts and other tax havens has been exposed by the recent observations of the Supreme Court.

 

Unaccounted and ill-gotten wealth, amassed through tax evasion, money laundering and other illegal means, parked in these Swiss Bank accounts should be directly confiscated by the Union Government from the Swiss Banks. These monies should be brought back to India and the details of the account holders must be made public.

 

Any delay in undertaking these steps would be unacceptable.

Memorandum of Left Parties to the Election Commission of India

Dear Sirs,

While drawing your attention to certain urgent issues which can adversely affect the conduct of peaceful, free and fair elections for the West Bengal Assembly, we would first like to take this opportunity to thank you for appropriately responding to the issues raised by our delegation on August 27, 2010.

To recapitulate, we had brought to your notice that an unusually large number,  – 56,19,057 Form-6 applications, were submitted for being included in the draft Electoral Rolls. Now that the final figures are available, we are broadly satisfied with the results of your intervention. We had maintained that the revision of the rolls should ensure that no genuine voter should be excluded and, at the same time, no fictitious name should be included. The completion of the exercise shows that 37,57,385 names were added which means roughly 20 lakh Form-6 applications were rejected in the due process. Your intervention to ensure this result has been a point of satisfaction, while our apprehension that large number of names are being sought to be included is also substantiated. 

We would now like to underline the major challenge that threatens the holding of peaceful and free and fair elections in the state. As you are aware that in certain districts of the state, the Maoists have unleashed a campaign of violence. The spree of violence is pronounced in the three districts of Bankura, Purulia and West Midnapur. These are districts which have their borders with Orissa and Jharkhand and have large tracts of forest. The topography of the area is conducive to pursue a strategy of unleashing violence and terror which the Maoists are obsessed with. The Commission is obviously aware of the position of the Maoists that they have declared that they will not be part of the Indian Parliamentary system, hence not participate in the elections. The special feature of the Maoist violence in West Bengal is the largely targeted killings of activists, leaders and organizers of the Left parties. These arise out of their nature of politics which derives from a deep-seated antipathy towards the organized Left. 

To further inform you the Naxalite movement which arose in the late sixties and early seventies had similarly targeted the organized Left and the CPI(M) alone had lost 550 cadres in the space of one and a half years of worst violence at that stage. However, they had gone into subsequent disarray and had all but disappeared from the state. 

However, in their present incarnation they display a more degenerate and anti-people campaign of violence – this is a very major disturbing feature. They are conniving with the major opposition party – the Trinamul Congress. The process of coming together of the Maoists and the Trinamul Congress had taken place during the Nandigram events. But this has now developed further and cemented in achieving their common goal of undermining and defeating the Left even at the cost of the politics of violence and depredation. The current situation of violence has escalated over the last two years since the Trinamul Congress improved its electoral performance in the 2008 panchayat elections in West Bengal. This is graphically demonstrated from the figures of political clashes and consequent killings from the table  below.

Inter Party Clashes and Killings in West Bengal

Year	No of Incidents	No of people killed
2001	434	88
2002	191	63
2003	466	66
2004	262	32
2005	145	15
2006	246	40
2007	189	28
2008	1094	60
2009	1115	106
Upto 31.10.2010	943	95

Based on data from NCRB

It is well known that of the 333 civilians killed in the three Maoist violence-affected districts in 2009 and 2010, around 230 belonged to the Left parties. In no other Maoist violence-affected state can you find such a large number of civilian casualties, nor do they consist of political opponents of the Maoists. 

The campaign of violence by the Maoists are proving to be so worrisome and lethal because of the overt and covert support they receive from the Trinamul Congress. There is a large account of evidence and media reports underlining the reality of Maoist-TMC nexus. We append this as Annexure – I. 

We are also giving certain specific information about this in Annexure – II which establishes operational coordination between the two.   The latest startling instance is the detention of Karmu Mahato reportedly the Jhargram block president of the TMC by the Orissa police and subsequently arrested by Jhargram police in Cuttack. The arrest of Karmu in Cuttack was in the wake of him accompanying two injured Maoist gang members in a landmine blast for medical treatment. This incident has been widely reported in the press. 

We are also appending in Annexure – III excerpts from Kabir Suman’s – a sitting Trinamul MP – autobiographical narrative which establishes the participation of Mamta Banerjee and Saugata Roy, ministers of the present UPA government, with Maoist linkmen Prasun Chattopadhyaya and Raja Sarkhel in the Trinamul Congress headquarters in Kolkata. These two have been subsequently arrested under UAPA and have been in jail custody as ordered by the court. The discussion centres around the possible ways of intervention in Nandigram where implicitly the Maoists would also be involved. In fact, the media had earlier widely reported the confession of Madhusudan Mondal, since arrested, who happened to be the Nandigram zonal committee secretary of the CPI (Maoist) confirming their association with the TMC. There are also media reports about the statement by Kishanji reportedly the Polit Bureau member of CPI (Maoist) operating in West Bengal to the effect that they would like to see Mamta Banerjee as the next Chief Minister of West Bengal. Other Maoist leaders also have issued similar statements and after publication of these, there have been no subsequent denials. 

Since June2009, when the Central paramilitary forces have started joint operations with the state police, the situation has gradually improved. This can be seen from the large number of arrests of Maoists including their top leadership in the state. A large number of cases have been initiated and a large cache of arms has been recovered. This has also enabled the state government to improve the implementation of developmental programmes in the affected areas and resumption of political activities by different political parties have also begun to a certain extent. Importantly, in response to the gruesome killings and other acts of depredation by the Maoists, a large number of people in these three districts have come out to collectively protest and isolate the Maoists. This has also been a key factor for the success of the joint operations.

However, the threat of violence still remains as the Maoist terror apparatus is yet to be completely dismantled. On the other hand, the Trinamul Congress emboldened by the association with such a force has also continued with their own version of violence against political opponents in some of the other south Bengal districts. This violence has led to the eviction of substantial number of Left supporters and workers from their homes. They face the threat of not freely and fairly exercising their franchise. The most serious situation is in some pockets of East Midnapur – like Nandigram and Khejuri. If you so wish, we can furnish a detailed list for all such constituencies and booths subsequently. 

In the light of all these, we feel constrained to point out that the Prime Minister’s observation, “Maoist violence is the single biggest threat to the internal security of the country” should be unexceptionable to everybody concerned. The heart of our parliamentary democratic system is the process of elections which have come to be invested with a great degree of legitimacy because of its largely peaceful, free and fair conduct under the superintendence and guidance of the Election Commission of India. 

We, therefore, urge you that despite the improvement of the situation, significant challenges remain for the holding of peaceful, free and fair elections, given the spree of violence let loose by the Trinamul Congress with the active connivance of the Maoists in the Jangalmahal areas which is the central factor which can undermine the due electoral process.

With regards,

Yours sincerely
