Despite very strong opposition and agitation in all parts of the country against the CAA, the Centre is proceeding for implementation of the same. This is not only in violation of the Constitution, but also is a reintroduction of the ‘Divide and Rule’ policy of the British.
There is no surprise in this. The RSS which controls the central government, did not participate in any struggle for independence of the country, but supported the British rule.

In order to show that everything in Kashmir is under control, M.P.s of foreign countries are brought to Kashmir and selected places are shown.
By denying Indian M.P.s to visit Kashmir, it is clear that Kashmir is still not normal. It is many months since the situation got out of control, after abrogating Article 370 concerning the special constitutional provisions to the state.
The Supreme Court order to re-examine the curbs on internet etc. is a slap on the face of the central government. Centre should remove the curbs put on Kashmir and bring normalcy.

There are serious agitations and actions against CAA in India since the bill has been adopted. Likewise, protests also take place in many foreign countries protesting against the act by the government, which discriminates citizenship on religious basis.India is getting more and more isolated on this issue. The prestige India has got among world nations is on the decline.

” A govt that has shut down RTI, promotes electoral bonds, has zero transparency, PM and ministers can not show their degrees – is now asking citizens to prove their credentials?” Com. Sitaram Yechury, General secretary, CPI(M) has tweeted.
How true!

1,047 scientists and scholars from India and abroad, have signed an open letter, condemning the Citizenship Amendment Bill and asking for it’s withdrawal. It is written in the letter that,
“the idea of India that emerged from the independence movement, and as enshrined in our Constitution, is that of a country that aspires to treat people of all faiths equally. The use of religion as a criterion would be inconsistent with the basic structure of the Constitution.”
Signatories of the letter include Rajesh Gopakumar (International Centre for Theoretical Sciences), Sandip Trivedi (Tata Institute of Fundamental Research), Sandeep Pandey (Magsaysay Award Recipient), S.S. Bhatnagar (Atish Dabholkar Awardee), etc. The letter ends with an appeal to withdraw the bill in it’s current form.

Again very very sad news.

Com. Ramakrishnan, a BSNL contract labour in Kerala, put an end to his life by committing suicide in the Telephone Exchange,Nilambur, where he was working. Wages were not paid to him for the last 10 months as in the case of other contract workers. He is a differently abled worker and was somehow managing his family with the low wage being paid. Now even that wage is not paid for 10 months. His wife has no job and they are having two children. The mental agony being unable to look after the family might have made him to commit suicide.
This is the 7th suicide by BSNL contract workers in the country after the BSNL stopped paying wages on the plea of no funds. Even after these suicides, neither the government, nor the BSNL has taken any steps to pay the wages. Further, more and more contract workers are being retrenched. The Chief Labour Commissioner has directed the CMD BSNL to pay the wages but BSNL has not implemented so far. It was reported that the DOT has asked BSNL to pay the delayed salaries of the ITS officers immediately. The govt is worried about only the ITS and not others.
The government, which write off lakhs of crores rupees of NPAs of the corporates, reduce the income tax % of the corporates has no money to pay the wages of the poor contract workers who have worked for years together to give better service to the people. The govt can allot funds to retrench employees through VRS, but no funds to pay wages! It shows that the govt is not at all worried about the condition of the poor contract workers.
We strongly protest and demand the govt and the BSNL Management to urgently pay the wages with arrears to all the contract workers. Suitable compensation should be given to the family of the deceased.
The contract workers in Kerala and elsewhere are on strike and on various forms of struggles for the last many months. The govt and BSNL management is looking the other way. This is nothing but inhuman.
We express our deep sorrow in the tragedy. We convey our condolences to the bereaved family, friends and comrades.

Something weird is happening in Gujarat. A question for 9th class examination is ” How did Mahatma Gandhi commit suicide ?”
Gandhiji is the father of the Nation and every body knows that he was shot dead by Nathuram Godse, an RSS activist. The question indicates that the students are taught that Mahatmaji has committed suicide instead of murdered.
One more effort to rewrite history to suit the present government.

Case has been filed against cultural leaders, writers etc. fro writing to the Prime Minister against lynching of dalits,muslims etc.
Is writing to the Prime Minister of the country anti-national?
The Prime Minister himself should clear the atmosphere by taking necessary action to get the cases withdrawn.

31st August 2019 was the the third death anniversary of Com. V.V.Dakshinamoorthy Master, veteran Communist , who passed away this day last year. He was the Editor of ‘Deshabhimani’ for many years, have been Member of the State Assembly, District Secretary of CPI M), Kozhikode, State Committee Member and so on. He was a good speaker and writer. But most importantly he was an expert in teaching Marxism- Leninism to more than two generations. He was simple and his dealings with others were also comradely. I had close connection with Murthy Master for more than 3-4 decades. When he used to come to Delhi for committee meetings, he used to come to my residence there.
Red Salute to Comrade Murthy Master!
