In this present prevailing condition when rightists groups are
clamouring to carry forward the interest of corporates, only the Leftists are
an alternative who can fight to establish the wellbeing of the poor toiling
down trodden classes. To ensure the security and safety of the working class
the leftists have to foster unity for which Jyoti Basu had devoted his life.
This was the essence of the speech delivered on the occasion of the birth
centenary celebration of the undaunted communist leader Jyoti Basu. Jyoti Basu
Birth Centenary Celebration Committee had organized this solemn gathering on
Tuesday, the 8th of July, 2014 at Nazrul Mancha in Kolkata. The occasion was
enriched with the deliberations of eminent personalities from different
spheres. Noted among them were political leaders Biman Basu, Buddhadeb
Bhattacharjee, veteran leader Ashok Ghosh, Manju Kumar Mazumder, Kshiti
Goswami, Ajizul Haque, eminent economist Prabhat Pattanaik, Ashok Mitra, former
Speaker of the West Bengal Legislative Assembly Hasim Abdul Halim.
Left Front Chairman Biman Basu recollected in details how Jyoti Basu in spite of being brought up in an affluent family sacrificed his life and chose the thorny path to organize the working class and oppressed people. Had never craved for earthly belongings and had craved all through his life for the upliftment of the masses specially those who were subjected to the tyranny of the dominant classes. Nothing could deter him from the path of a worthy deserving communist and had always adhered to the dictates of the party as a true soldier. One has lots to learn from his life specially the young generation who are unaware of the times when leaders like Jyoti Basu held the banner in their hands to foster the Left Unity to give a worthy leadership in every critical political situation in India. He believed that implementation of true democracy could only bring respite to the poor working classes. For this to ensure empowerment at the grass root level he was the first to establish the three-tier panchayat system.
Biman Basu in this context stated that 'discipline is the very political aspect which Jyoti Basu walked through in his life. As a matter of fact it is a lesson for all of us how he restrained himself from any unwanted comment that could destabilise his party or the Left unity. One should pay true homage to such a leader of immense personality by pledging to carry the baton of left unity forward for which he had craved all his life. Biman Basu also mentioned the names of Snehangshu Acharya and Bhupesh Gupta – close associates of Jyoti Basu whose birth centenary are also in the offing.
Prabhat Pattanaik quantified Jyoti Basu as a man of varied qualities who always delivered himself to be a true communist. He was undoubtedly the most popular leader of this century. He said it is a matter of fact to reckon how not being a son of a farmer or not belonging to the village he could analyse their sufferings and proved himself to be a worthy leader to raise to such height of popularity. Trust was the very basis of the immense popularity. There was no delicacy in his behaviour. He cast a warning about the gospel of neoliberalism under whose ageist is on the rise the phenomenon of lumpen proletariats who are creating rackets endangering the essence of life. He spoke about the rise of fascist forces that are a threat to this country and emphasized the need for a Left consistent force who can only offer an alternative.
CPI(M) Polit Bureau member Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee spoke on the qualities of Jyoti Basu that made him an universal leader. He could culminate the struggle for existence of the farmers and the peasants amidst parliamentarian democracy. Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee stressed the need to unite the left and the secular forces otherwise it shall be difficult for the party to leap forward.
