A Communist leader who has long campaigned for women’s rights was elected on Wednesday as Nepal’s first female President.

Bidhya Devi Bhandari of the Communist Party of Nepal Unified Marxist-Leninist received 327 votes against her opponent’s 214 in the Parliament on Wednesday, Parliament Speaker Onsari Gharti announced.

Ms. Bhandari is an active campaigner for women’s rights in Nepal and was among the politicians who campaigned for ensuring women’s rights in the new Constitution. The document says one-third of the members in parliament have to be women and either the President or Vice-President must be a woman.

Stop Moral Policing – CPI(M)

New Delhi Octber 28 :The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), now in session at Delhi, has  issued the following statement:

The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) strongly condemns the Hindutva elements who sought to stir up trouble with the allegation of “beef” being served in the canteen at Kerala House in New Delhi.  Firm action should be taken against them.

The CPI(M) condemns the raid conducted by Delhi Police at the Kerala House on the pretext of investigating whether beef was being served in the canteen.  Everybody is aware that buffalo meat is allowed legally to be sold in Delhi and any preparation of such meat is not an illegality.

This raid conducted by the Delhi Police is, therefore, illegal.  The Delhi Police is directly administered by the Union Home Minister. This comes in the background of a nationwide campaign unleashed by the RSS patronized by the Central Government led by Prime Minister Modi against alleged consumption of beef in various parts of the country.  This is only a pretext to sharpen communal polarization across the country through which the BJP seeks to  gain politically and electorally.

Initially the Kerala state government authorities appeared to have succumbed to this illegal pressure by the Delhi Police and removed beef preparations from the menu of the Kerala House canteen.  This is highly deplorable.

This act by the Delhi Police is also a clear violation of the federal structure of the Indian Constitution and infringes upon the rights of the state governments on their property in the national capital.

This action by the Delhi Police is unacceptable.  Government of Delhi must institute a proper probe into this incident  and strict  action must follow against those responsible

Tags

Kerala Circle unions of BSNLEU-SNEA-BSNLCCWF have called upon the BSNL employees to observe Black Day on 29th October 2015 against the victimisation of union workers and leaders by issuing charge sheets, filing FIRs and transfer to distant  places. Workers will attend duties wearing Black Badges and will hold protest demonstrations in all the SSAs.

We fully support the programme. We demand the CMD BSNL to immediately issue necessary instructions for withdrawal of the charge sheets, transfer etc. and restore original position so that normalcy will also be restored.

We can not allow one former CGM to destroy the entire Kerala Circle and its services.
