It is the tradition of Karnataka Comrades to honour guests, veterans and seniors in the Annual Conferences and special functions. In the Udipi Branch Conference of AIBDPA held today about 20 comrades who are above 75 years were honoured with shawls, garlands and fruits baskets. Myself along with Pankajam were also honoured.

It happens sometimes…

For years, I have been posting some writeups or news in my blog without much break. But for the last few months, it has been a big break, without posting anything. This was not intentional. But it happens sometimes. From the start of this year 2026, I will try not to have such big break. I hope to keep the promise sincerely.

My thanks to all who have been following my posts.

Happy New Year 2026!

2026 will be an year of Struggles, Sacrifices and Success!

2026 will be an year of Struggles, Sacrifices and Success!

My Best Wishes and Warm New Year Greetings to all of you!

Dear Comrades and Friends,

The year 2025, which has just passed away, was full of struggles against the onslaught and attack on the working class, pensioners, senior citizens and all the toiling masses by the ruling class, especially the Central Government and the big corporates. More than 22 crore people in the country are extremely poor, even unable to have one square meal a day. By demolishing the 29 worker – friendly labour laws, enacted as a result of sustained struggles by workers for years, have been put in the coffin and four anti-worker Labour Codes implemented to enable the big corporates to amass wealth at the cost of workers.

The inhuman attack on the Civil Pensioners, and their hard earned rights is nothing short of treachery on the part of the government and its henchmen. Enactment of the Pension Validation Act, intended to deny pension revision, Dearness Relief and other future benefits to existing pensioners is a clear violation of artcles of the Constitution and intended to cleverly over ride the historic declaration of tbe Constitution Bench of Supreme Court on 17 th December 1982, which is considered as the Magna Carta of the pensioners. Pensioners are treated as dirt, unwanted and as a burden on the society by the Modi government. Whatever benefits were gained in the past are being taken away as is the concession in Railway travel for senior citizens.

The MGNREGA enacted in 2004 by the UPA government under pressure from the Left M. P. s and which gave good relief to the unemloyed in the villages is replaced by the new VB G Ram G Act, which is almost negation of the earlier act and takes away the earlier benefits.

Thus the workers, farmers, government and PSU employees – all have been on prolonged struggles for restoring their rights and to make both ends meet.

New Year 2026 is not going to be different. The phased agitational programmes planned by the Forum of Civil Pensioners Associations (FCPA), the General Strike on 12 th February 2026 called for by all the Central Trade Unions (except BMS), struggles by workers of Postal, BSNL and other PSUs to ensure for better service to the public and strengthening the PSUs, the united struggles of crores of farmers – it is going to be a strong stream of sustained struggles. The struggles may be long resuting in many sacrifices, but it is certain that it will not be in vain.

Yes Comrades, the year 2026 is going to be an year of sustained Struggles and Sacrifices, but also an year of Success! Let us March Ahead in the New Year!

UNITY FOR STRUGGLE

STRUGGLE FOR UNITY

UNITY & STRUGGLE FOR ACHIEVEMENT.

Ho Chi Minh ( 19.05.1890 – 02-09-1969)

Red Salute to Ho Chi Minh, the Revolutionary Leader of Vietmam on his 56th death anniversary on 2nd September 2025.

Fondly called ‘ Uncle Ho’ by the people of Vietnam, he was the leader of the revolution that freed Vietnam and defeated all the attacks including from US. He led a very simple life despite being head of the government.

Red Salute to Uncle Ho !

Red Salute to Com.V.V.Dakshinamoorthy Masrer

സഖാവ് വി.വി. ദക്ഷിണാമൂർത്തി മാഷുടെ അഞ്ചാം ചരമ വാർഷികദിനത്തിൽ സഖാവിന്റെ ഓർമയിൽ ഒരുപിടി രക്ത പുഷ്പങ്ങൾ!

എല്ലാവർക്കും പ്രിയങ്കരനായ മാഷ്. ചിരിച്ചു കൊണ്ടുള്ള സംസാരം. എന്നും അടുപ്പം സൂക്ഷിച്ച സുഹൃത്ത്. കമ്മ്യൂണിസ്റ്റ്‌ ആശയങ്ങൾ സുവ്യക്തമായി വിശദീകരിക്കുകയും സ്വന്തം ജീവിതത്തിൽ പൂർണമായും നടപ്പിലാക്കുകയും ചെയ്ത നേതാവ്. ജനപ്രതിനിധി, പത്രാധിപർ, അധ്യാപകൻ, ട്രേഡ് യൂണിയൻ നേതാവ്, എഴുത്തുകാരൻ, പരിഭാഷകൻ തുടങ്ങി പ്രവർത്തിച്ച എല്ലാ മേഖലകളിലും തിളങ്ങി നിന്ന വ്യക്തിത്വം.

ഡൽഹിയിൽ കമ്മിറ്റിക്കും മറ്റുമായി വരുമ്പോൾ മിക്കവാറും കാണുവാനും സംസാരിക്കുവാനും കഴിഞ്ഞു.

കോഴിക്കോട്ടിന്റെ തന്നതായ സൗഹൃദം എന്നും മനസ്സിൽ സൂക്ഷിച്ച ജനനായകൻ.

ഇനിയും ഒട്ടേറെ കാലം രംഗത്തുണ്ടാവേണ്ടതായിരുന്നു.

സൗഹൃദത്തിന്റെ ഒട്ടേറെ ഓർമ്മകൾ.

സഖാവെ ലാൽ സലാം!

ഓർമ്മകൾ…

സ. സുകുമാരൻ നായർക്കും ശ്രീമതി ഉഷ ടീച്ചർക്കുമൊപ്പം കൊല്ലത്തെ ജടായു പാറയിൽ. കുന്നുകയറലും ലിഫ്റ്റിൽ യാത്രയും മഴയത്തു ജടായു ശില്പത്തിന്റെ ചുറ്റും പ്രദക്ഷിണം വെക്കലും എല്ലാം കൂടി ഒരു സായാഹ്നം അതിമനോഹരമായി കഴിഞ്ഞു. തിരിച്ചു വീട്ടിലെത്തി ഉഷ ടീച്ചറുടെ വളരെ രുചികരമായ ഭക്ഷണവും.

മഴയില്ലാത്തപ്പോൾ ഒരിക്കൽ കൂടി പോയാലോ ജടായു പാറയിൽ എന്ന് ഒരാലോചന. ആലോചന മാത്രം..
