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 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.
