Implement Food Security Act – CPI(M)

CPI(M), Food Security Act

New Delhi, May 29: The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the following statement:

The Polit Bureau strongly condemns the deliberate negligence of the Modi Government towards implementing and improving the Food Security Act and its expansion to ensure food security as well as nourishment to all Indians. This is all the more urgent in the light of the 2015 FAO report on the State of Food Insecurity. Although the methods used by FAO are a gross underestimation of the extent of malnourishment and hunger, even this report is a damning indictment of the claims made both under the UPA and now under the Modi Government as today India has the largest numbers of undernourished people in the world.

In the last year under the Modi Government (2014-2015 and estimates for 2016) the report estimates that the total number of people undernourished in India has gone up from 189.9 million (2012) to 194.6 million.

As a proportion of the population, the decline is significantly lower in the last year just 0.4 percentage points as compared to five percentage points between 2010-2012. In other words, the situation has worsened under the Modi Government.

The Modi Government should stop its false claims of being pro-poor and take immediate action to ensure universal coverage of the public distribution system with an expanded list of cheap rations including a minimum of 35 kg of food grains per family at a maximum of two rupees per kilo.

Five Day week – A genuine right of workers

29 Friday May 2015

Posted by VAN NAMBOODIRI in Uncategorized

≈ 2 Comments

Five Days Week is the system in most of the European countries and developed world. In the metro cities, it has started in many MNCs and private cocerns. In New Delhi, the central govt. offices function 5 days.
In the present scenario of things, 2 days are necessary in a week to look after family affairs and connected matters.

In this situation, the agreement in the banking sector granting 2nd and 4th Saturdays as holidays are much welcome. This is a step towards Five Days Week.

One Rank One Pension – Again only assurance

29 Friday May 2015

Posted by VAN NAMBOODIRI in Uncategorized

≈ 1 Comment

Shaken by the strong protest of war veterans, the government has assured that One Rank One Pension will be implemented with out further delay. Was the government sleeping after giving earlier assurance?
Do not ignore the Pensioners. They are a force to be reckoned with.
Once OROP is granted for army pensioners, the demand of civil pensioners for the same benefit will get momentum and strength.

Full Diplomatic Relations between US and Cuba within a short time – US Senator

Cuba, Diplomatic relations, US

A US senator, Sen Tom Udall, leading a delegation to Cuba has predicted that US and Cuba are just weeks away from full diplomatic relations.

This is good news. Let us hope that the diplomatic  relations be restored at the earliest. The economic blockade and the breaking of the diplomatic relations have caused much harm, especially to Socialist Cuba. A positive change is required.

Meeting of present PM Modi and former PM Manmohan Singh

29 Friday May 2015

Posted by VAN NAMBOODIRI in General

≈ 2 Comments

In India every meeting seems to be controversial. Now it is about the meeting on  of Prime Minister Narendra Modi with former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. Rahul Gandhi says Modi called Manmohan Singh to learn about economy. BJP sources may say that Manmohan Singh wanted to get escape from the 2G embroil and hence met PM.

It is sure that something is there. But both the present PM and the former PM may not divulge.

Shame to continued Governments – India leads world in the number of hungry people

India leads in number of hungry people, UN report

It is really a shame on the Government and the people of India. India now leads in the maximum number of hungry people in the world. As per the report of the State of Food Security in the World 2015, India has 194.6 million people who are in the hunger list. Almost every one out of four is undernourished.

Earlier it was China, having more hungry people. But it has now diminished sharply. Even Nepal and Bangladesh has reduced the hungry people. But in India, the reduction has been nominal. Out of 172 countries, India ranks first in poverty and hunger.

The neo-liberal policies being practiced by the UPA and NDA governments, have created more and more billionaires and trillionaires. At the same time more people have become poor and poorer.

Prime Minister Mr. Modiji, is ‘Achche Din’ only for the rich and corporates. What about the poor people who gave vote for you for the promised ‘Achche Din’?
