Export of vegetables

The 28 countries affiliated European Union has temporarily banned import of Indian Mangoes,eggplant, taro plant, bitter gourd,snake gourd etc. stated that these are contaminated by pests. According to the Euro Union, these pests will contaminate and adversely affect their vegetable crops.

Whether it is because of the pests or a trick by the Euro Union to reduce the imports. The Government India have to clear the issue. Govt. of India has to take immediate action in the matter to find out the real reason and restore the import.

In this connection, it is to be remembered that when the export of Indian clothes to US was increasing, the latter forced a ban on import stating that the Indian Clothes will catch fire and is a risk.

REVOLUTIONARY GREETINGS ON MAY DAY !

May Day 2014

1st May, the International Day of Working Class, is here again. The May Day is being observed and celebrated through out the world by the workers and other toiling masses. The memory of the Chicago workers who were hanged for demanding and agitating for the 8 hours working day inspire the working class. It is through such struggles and strikes that the working class have been able to achieve many gains and victories.

May Day 2014 comes at a time when the working class are facing many challenges. The neo-liberal policies being implemented by the imperialist and capitalist class has created misery and heavy burden on the people. For maximising the profits, the corporates and financiers can go to any length, as we have seen. At the same time struggles are going on in many countries against these anti-people policies.

It is not different in India. The Central Trade Unions are unitedly fighting against the neo-liberal policies of the government. Independent Federations of workers are also in the struggle.This will continue and will be strengthened.

The struggle to save BSNL has started and many things are to be done in this respect. We have to make BSNL stronger and give a better service to the people.

BSNLEU has to be strengthened and converted in to a militant organisation to fight and achieve the demands of the workers. The organisations of the Pensioners, viz. AIBDPA and that of casual-contract workers viz. BSNLCCWF, have to be strengthened and their issues focussed and exploitation ended.

Let us pledge to march forward with determination and dedication.

Unity for Struggle! Struggle for Unity !
Unity and Struggle for Progress !

Revolutionary greetings on May Day!

Mahe Martyrs – Coms. P.P.Anandan and M.Achuthan

Mahe, Martyrs

Comrades P.P.Anandan and M.Achuthan became martyrs in the struggle for freedom of Mahe (Mayyazhi) from the French on 27th April 1954.

Mayyazhi, a small area between the present Kannur and Kozhikode district was given to the French by the local Raja centuries back. The French constructed a fort there. During the several wars between British and France, Mahe was taken over by the British. But after agreements the same was given back to France. Since 1816, Mahe continued to be in the hands of the French.

When India got Independence on 15th August 1947 from the British after a long and sustained freedom struggle, Mahe still remained in the hands of French. Despite several demands by the Govt. of India, the French did not vacate. It is at this juncture that the people of the French colonies in the country, Pondicherry, Mahe, Karikkal, Yanaon, Chandernagor and Trincomalee started agitations demanding vacation of the territories by the French.

The French Government reacted and used force to crush the struggle. It was during this struggle that Coms. Anandan and Achuthan were killed and became martyrs.Before the mass upsurge, the French could not continue their rule. They had no other way but to leave.
The entire French colonies in India including Mahe got freedom in 1954 itself. Chandernagore got freedom two years earlier in 1952.

Today is the 60th death anniversary of the above martyrs. Our revolutionary homage to these martyrs who fought and laid their lives at the altar of freedom!

Chief Justice, Justice RM Lodha

Justice Rajendra Mal Lodha (64) has sworn in as the 41st Chief Justice of India today, 27th April 2014. He will have a short tenure of 5 months and will retire on 27th September 2014.

The Supreme Court in the recent period has been taking an active role against corruption as also putting its feet on hasty and irregular decisions of the government which are politically motivated.

We hope the new Chief Justice will also continue the same path.

My Best Wishes and Congratulations to the new Chief justice!
