Long Live Workers' Unity And Struggle
Stop Bulldozing Homes And Livelihood Of The Poor
Stop Bulldozing India's Fraternity
Stop Bulldozing India's Constitution
All over the country, the homes and livelihood of the poor (slums, unauthorised colonies, street-stalls and carts etc) are being demolished. BJP Governments and municipal corporations are especially singling out the Muslim poor, and sending bulldozers to demolish their homes, mosques, shops. This is being done on the pretext of "clearing encroachments" and also "punishing rioters", "evicting Bangladeshis and Rohingyas" etc. The BJP has turned the Bulldozer into a new symbol for itself: a symbol that declares its cruel anti-poor and anti-Muslim intent. The poor and working class all over India must resist this Bulldozer Raj. Whether Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, or Christian, we will say in one voice: Stop running the BJP Bulldozer over the shelter and livelihood of the poor; over harmony and fraternity in India; and over India's Constitution.
On May Day 2022 (May 1) CPIML launched a month-long all-India campaign to inspire people to resist Bulldozer Raj. This subject also raised prominently in May Day programs. The BJP governments are selectively targeting and bulldozing homes and shops of Muslims and the working poor by branding them 'Bangladeshis' and 'rioters'. As such, it is the need of the hour for the poor and toiling masses of the country to unite and resist the BJP's Bulldozer Raj. Working people from Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Christian and all other communities must rise up and assert in one voice that they will not under any circumstances allow bulldozers to raze the homes and livelihoods of the poor, the social harmony and fraternity in the country, and the Indian Constitution.
The muslim community has faced, and resisted it too, the terror of Bulldozer Raj in Delhi, UP and Uttarakhand, but BJP is relentlessly trying to spread the venom and hatred of communalism using the tacit support of the state machinery in other states too. Recently the Bihar government's Land Revenue Minister from the BJP quota Ramsurat Rai had also made a statement saying that Bihar needs 'Bulldozer Raj'. The people must give a befitting reply to any such anti-Constitutional action.
