Appeal/Demand

Stand with Prof. Sabyasachi Das!

We stand united in expressing our solidarity with Professor Sabyasachi Das who recently resigned from Ashoka University. Prof. Sabyasachi recently wrote a paper titled 'Democratic Backsliding in the World’s Largest Democracy' which hinted at BJP engaging in electoral manipulation in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, for which he came under criticism. Thereafter, expressing solidarity with Prof. Sabyasachi, Professor Pulapre Balakrishnan of Ashoka University has also resigned.

CPIML MLAs in Bihar have asked the state government to pass a resolution in the Assembly demanding to withdraw the GEAC approval and environmental clearance given to GM Mustard. Since this matter may soon be placed in the Parliament the party MLAs have asked the Chief Minister to adopt a resolution in the state assembly to send a clear message to the centre in view of the dangers associated with the GM crops and for the benefit of the country's farmers and people’s health.

The incessant rain in the North Indian states of Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Haryana, Punjab and Delhi has led to massive flooding and landslides.

In a statement issued on March 25th, Clifton D' Rozario, Karnataka state secretary of CPIML has raised serious concerns regarding the decisions of the last cabinet meeting of the outgoing Basavaraj Bommai-led BJP government on March 24th. The decisions have progressed very much in line with the communal and caste politics that has come to define the BJP reign in Karnataka. Notable are the two decisions made, and the one decision not made.

Toxic mix of communalism and casteism:

CPIML has demanded that Uttar Pradesh government must compensate farmers for the crop losses due to unexpected rains. Sudden rains and temperature fall coupled with hailstorms at many places has caused heavy losses to t wheat crops in many districts of UP. In a statement released by Arun Kumar, UP Standing committee member of the party, said that the plight of farmers and agrarian communities in the state are deteriorating while various schemes and benefits declared by the state government are not reaching to actual needy people.

CPIML General Secretary has written a letter to the President of India Ms Droupadi Murmu requesting her to arrange to provide tricolour to every family having ration card without cost.
