Indo-Pak Dialogue Should Continue
The Central Committee of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) reiterates its consistent position that the process of talks between India and Pakistan should continue, while adopting a firm stance on the territorial sovereignty of our country.
The current tensions along the Indo-Pak borders must be deescalated. For this, the process of dialogue and talks must continue, regardless of whether the Pakistan embassy officials have meetings with separatist leaders of Kashmir or not. Such meetings have been regularly taking place in the past.

Athens, Aug 21: At least 25 rebels from Greece’s hard-left Syriza party said today they would form a new parliamentary group a day after Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras resigned and triggered snap elections.
The party, which rode to power in January by vowing to end austerity measures, was deeply divided over Greece’s acceptance of a third international bailout package.
The revolt within his own party prompted Tsipras to announce his resignation late on Thursday, unleashing early elections which are likely to take place on September 20, state news agency ANA said, citing government sources.
The new party, called Popular Unity, will be led by former energy minister Panagiotis Lafazanis, 63, according to the news website left.gr.
Lafazanis, removed from his post in a cabinet reshuffle last month, is an implacable foe of the agreement reached between Athens and the European Union for a 86-billion-euro (USD 96-billion) bailout package, the first tranche of which was released yesterday.

The ‘Hire and Fire’ continues by the private companies. It is the auto maker Renault Nissan Chennai Factory this time. Out of the 8,000 and odd workers, 1,000 are going to be terminated on the plea low demand in the market. Further, the MNCs and Indian corporates are becoming more bold to do whatever they want, since they are confident that the Modi Government will not interfere.
The workers are not going to accept this job cut. Struggles will certainly erupt to save the jobs.
