Left Parties to hold Nationwide Protests on JNU issue

JNU, Left Parties

New Delhi, Feb 19 Accusing RSS and BJP of making “false allegations” over the JNU row, Left parties today said they will hold nationwide protests next week against the alleged “anti-national” tag being given to them by Hindutva forces.
After a meeting of six Left parties here today, CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury told reporters that the protests will be held between February 23 and 25.
He said a delegation comprising leaders of Left parties and MPs from JD(U), RJD and NCP will call on President Pranab Mukherjee seeking his intervention in the row even as he stressed that JNUSU president Kanhaiya Kumar must be released forthwith”.
“On the basis of false allegations, the RSS-BJP have mounted an all-India attack against Indian people, targeting the Left. This anti-national label they want to give to all others except themselves is something completely unacceptable.
“So, Left parties have decided to hold an all-India protest campaign against what the RSS-BJP is doing under this Government’s patronage,” Yechury said.
Targeting right-wing forces on the issue, he said those who “glorify” Mahatma Gandhi’s killer Nathuram Godse as a national hero, are in “no position” to term Left leaders as “anti-national”.
Referring to the decision that all central varsities will fly tricolour atop a 207-feet tall mast on their campuses to signify a “strong India”, Yechury took a dig at the Centre saying such “whipping of jingoism” will not earn it “credible” points on nationalism.
“The size of the tricolour in our hearts and the comrades of the Left is much larger than any size this government may hoist in any university,” Yechury, flanked by other Left leaders, said.
Citing the alleged attack on CPI(M) head office and “threats” to him and CPI national secretary D Raja over their stand on the varsity row, he said that Left leaders will meet the attack “politically and democratically”.

Meanwhile, a delegation of Left leaders, along with MPs of NCP, JD(U) and RJD, will meet President Pranab Mukherjee in the evening, seeking his intervention in the JNU row being Visitor of the university.

“We will convey the decisions taken by Left parties along with other democratic secular parties who are present in Parliament to the President. The President is the Visitor of the JNU.
“He has and he should in that capacity as the Visitor of the university intervene to stop this sort of a direct insurrection against the Indian Constitution that the RSS-BJP have launched under the patronage of the Modi government,” Yechury said.
Besides Yechury and Raja, the meeting was attended by CPI(M) leaders Prakash Karat and S Ramchandran Pillai, CPI general secretary S Sudhakar Reddy, CPI(ML)-Liberation’s Swapan Mukherjee, RSP leader Abani Roy, AIFB general secretary Debabrata Biswas and Pran Sharma of SUCI(C)(PTI)

16 Left Parties Accuse BJP of Forcing Communalism

Defeat Communalist forces, Left Parties

Kolkata, Nov 13 : Lashing out at BJP and RSS, 16 Left parties today adopted a resolution against communalism and accused the Centre of trying to force “Hindutva ideologies” on the entire country.

The 16 Left parties including ten constituents of the Left Front in West Bengal led by CPI-M and other Left parties like SUCI(C), CPI(ML-Liberation), CPI(ML-Santosh Rana) and PDS today organised a convention and adopted a resolution against spread of communalism in the country and the state.

“Due to communal polarisation throughout the country, a threat is looming large over secularism and democracy. BJP, after achieving majority, has sped up this communal polarisation,” the adopted resolution stated.

“The corporates too have joined hands with communal forces. BJP, which is controlled by RSS, is trying to spread its ideals for creating a Hindu Rashtra,” it said.

The resolution also stated that various important educational, cultural and think-tanks of the Union government have been filled with RSS loyalists.

“They are trying to force ideologies of Hindutva on educational institutions. In such a situation, the minority community is feeling alienated and are suffering from identity crisis. And Islamic fundamentalists are trying to using this opportunity,” the resolution said.

“Bengal, which has been known as a stronghold of secularism, is too under threat of majority and minority polarisation and communalism. The misrule of Trinamool Congress due to its narrow-minded politics has provided space for communal polarisation in the state,” it stated.

Demanding stringent steps against communalism, the resolution also condemned the way a particular community and madrasas were being targeted as a fallout of the Burdwan blast last month.

The Left parties today appealed to the masses that communal forces should not be allowed to spread its wings in the state.

“Those who are talking much about religion and nationalism, are they not aware of their credentials and political legacy? Their political legacy is the demolition of Babri Masjid and fuelling of communal riots in the country. We have to defeat such forces in the state,” CPI(M) Politburo member Surjya Kanta Mishra said while addressing the programme.( Courtesy: Ganashakti)

Left Parties, Statement

November 1, 2014

Press Statement by CPI(M)

A meeting of six Left parties – Communist Party of India (Marxist), Communist Party of India, Revolutionary Socialist Party, All India Forward Bloc, Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist)-Liberation and Socialist Unity Centre of India (Communist) was held today at New Delhi.
