No end to exploitation of casual contract workers in UP

Despite of bringing the brutal exploitation of contract labour in UP even to the notice of the Prime Minister, no improvement has taken place. The wages for the last many months have not been paid. The workers were being paid only Rs. 1500-2000. This has to be changed. The top management keeps stoic silence against this injustice. Struggle is the only way. Strengthen the organisation for a tough fight.

Nepal Constituent Assembly has shown wisdom and democratic tradition by rejecting the demand for reverting the country to a Hindu State. Nepal was  a Hindu nation for centuries with the King considered and revered as the living god, till a few years back (2006)when it was changed in to a democratic nation.

The Constituent assembly is to be appreciated for rejecting the proposal with more than two-third majority.Those few who wants India to be made a Hindu Nation should note this decision in neighboring country.

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 . In reply to State Chief Minister  Mamata Banerjees’  comment that ‘she can decimate the Left in One  Minute’,  he said  HItler had tried to do so and it was the  carriers of Red Flag being  led by the Soviet Forces which had demolished the  Hitler’s Forces  and had unfurled the Red flag  in the Reichstag  in Berlin.

The India Super Rich and their palatial bungalows worth hundreds of crores of rupees.

The Indian rich are flush with huge money. They  own many properties, palatial houses in big cities and tourist spots. They do not mind paying hundreds of crores of rupees to satisfy their ego and comfort.

The 27 floor residence of Mukesh Ambani, Antilia,  in the posh area of Mumbai is well known. It may cost more than thousands of  crore. Now the latest is the purchase of iconic Lincoln House by Pune based  industrialist Cyrus Poonawalla for Rs 750 crore. It was a palace earlier and leased to US Consulate.

The former Maharajas are  nothing in their riches compared to the Billionaires of today.

This is to be seen in the Indian context, where there are many crores of poor people, who do not have any home and stay in the open.

The Joint Action Committee of BSNLEU, SNEA and CCLU(BSNLCCWF) in Kerala has decided to organise Non-coperation and Satyagraha in front of Circle and SSA Offices from 15th September 2015 onward protesting against the vindictive victimisation of the union leaders/workers and demanding withdrawal of suspensions and false cases and immediate stringent action against MSS Rao CGM Kerala who is alleged with corruption charges.

The anti-worker, anti-BSNL decisions and actions of the CGM MSS Rao is  fully responsible for the present outrage amongst the workers. As assured by the BSNL Management during the discussion with the unions at Thiruvananthapuram on 20th August, MSS Rao CGM BSNL Kerala should be transferred immediately. The victimisation of the  union leaders/workers should cancelled immediately.
