Kolkata ,September 13th – Hailing Com Harkishen Singh Surjeet as a bright example of struggle against Communalism CPI(M) General Secretary Sitarm Yechury asked workers to emulate Com Surjeets’ fight against communalism. Tracing the influence of Martyr Bhagat Singh and Gadar Party had on Surjeet , he said that from his formative years he was against imperialism and communalism . The Concept of Economic freedom as an integral part of the concept of Independence had dawned on him following the footsteps of the martyrs like Bhagat Singh . Punjab and Bengal were the cradle of the extremist wing of Indian Freedom Struggle at that time He also highlighted the contribution of Com Surjeet in penning the document on the Soviet flaws during the observation of the 70Th Annieversary of October Revolution in 1987 at Moscow , his out and out role to thwart the communal politics in the country in 1996 and 2004 when he as the General Secretary of CPI(M) had played a pivotal part in keeping away Communal parties from governance . He was a master tactician though he did not have any formal education. He believed in strengthening the communist movement on one hand by forging independent class struggles and on the other hand to weaken the ruling party by weakening them using tactical strength. Right now in the country the communal forces are gaining ground and currently the actual control of the Modi Government is in the hand of the RSS,. In West Bengal and elsewhere in the country Majority Communalism is feeding on Minority fundamentalism and accused the TMC and BJP of matchfixing between them on issues like Sarada Chit Fund Probe and Scams like Vyapam and Modigatewhere several BJP leaders including Scindia , Sushma swaraj and others are involved. Their relation ( BJP and TMC ) is now a marriage of conveniences he said in his Speech .
