TODAY the Nitish government is in the dock on all issues concerning dalits, poor, farmers, women, students, youth, teachers, minorities and people-oriented development. Despite the ‘Development with Justice’ jumlas and manipulation of statistics for the past 15 years, Bihar lags behind on all basic issues of development. Nitish Kumar, who has termed land struggles of the poor as ‘Bakwas’ (rubbish), has himself been doing ‘Bakwas’ for the past 15 years on the issue of Bihar’s development. The people of Bihar will definitely teach this ‘Bakwas’ government a fitting lesson in the coming days. Nitish Kumar has emerged as the biggest disciple of the BJP today and is bent on throwing Bihar also into the fire of riots. He has so far remained silent on the state-sponsored violence in Delhi. The people of Bihar have seen his true colors. CAA-NRC and NPR in any form is not acceptable to us.
The fascist Modi government at the Centre is not only attacking our citizenship, reservation and our rights, but today even the money deposited in banks have become unsafe. First the economy was attacked through demonetization and now Yes Bank has become bankrupt. Nothing remains safe under Modi Raj. The common people are continuously facing disaster after disaster.
The CPIML Bihar has decided to launch a ‘Jan Ekta Jan Abhiyan’ (people’s unity mass campaign) from 23 March (Bhagat Singh martyrdom day) to 14 April (Baba Saheb Ambedkar birth anniversary) with the slogan ‘Nagarikta-Jameen-Arakshan-’ (Citizenship, land, reservation, employment are the people’s right).
On 23 March, marches will be organized from all Block HQs and a Youth Parliament will be held at Muzaffarpur with participation of students and youth. A mass youth meeting will be organized at Siwan on 31 March, the martyrdom day of former JNUSU President and CPIML leaders Chandrashekhar Prasad and Shyam Narayan Yadav.
After 31 March three Yatras will be organized in the State which will culminate at the Jan-Ekta Jan-Adhikar Rally at Gaya on 18 April. The 10th Bihar State Conference of CPIML will be held from 18 to 20 April at Gaya.
The campaign will be organized up to villages to demand total scrapping of NPR (in the light of the resolution passed in the Assembly not to implement NPR in its present form but in its 2010 form) and passing of resolutions against NPR in panchayati Raj institutions and Gram Sabhas also. The main slogans of this campaign will be: Gareeb Maange Jameen-Awas, Nitish Bole Yeh Bakwas; Desh mein Badhte Berozgar, Unka Nara Goli Maar; Modi-Nitish ki Napak Yaari, Ise Mitane ki Karo Taiyyari.
The various Shaheen Bagh protests in Bihar are being cruelly repressed. Reports are coming that the activists are being intimidated and threatened by BJP-RSS forces. The administration has also joined in this repression. The CPIML strongly condemns this repressive behavior which is being unleashed at many places including Gadhani (Bhojpur), Samastipur and Muzaffarpur.
At many places protesters are being thrown into jail under false cases. CPIML leaders Shivji Sahni (Siwan), Phul Babu Singh and Mahavir Poddar (Samastipur) have been jailed. At Jehanabad, popular former Mukhiya Hasnain Ansari has been sentenced to 2 years imprisonment by a lower court in a false case slapped on him during a protest. Serious kinds of cases are being slapped on many protesters.
CPIML strongly condemns this repression and stands firmly in solidarity with the Shaheen Bagh movement. We will not allow the evil intentions of the BJP to succeed in Bihar.
