The 3rd State Conference of CPI(ML) Liberation in Uttarakhand was held on 7th and 8th January, 2024, in Haldwani. The conference venue was dedicated to Com. Chandra Singh Gadhwali, the hall to Com. Deepak Bose and stage to Com. Maan Singh Pal and Com. KP Chandola.
After homage to martyrs and departed comrades at the Martyr’s Column, the opening session of the conference began with speeches by representatives of various left parties and people’s movements. In the inaugural session, Com Raja Bahuguna, Chairperson of Central Control Commission said that the Constitution promised us justice – social, economic and political. Yet people demanding justice are today being implicated in false cases and dumped in jails. After using farm laws and labour codes to deprive farmers and workers of their rights, the Modi government is now changing the entire set of criminal laws to turn India into a veritable police state. Every dissent and agitation against the government is now liable to be treated as an act of terror and subjected to brutal repression under draconian anti-terror laws.
“Removing the anti-people and pro-corporate Modi government in the upcoming election is an important task ahead of us to ensure an India of our freedom fighters’ dreams,” added Com. Raja Bhaguna.
Editor of Nainital Samachar Rajivlochan Shah [MOU1] said that at this crucial juncture of fight against the tyranny of the Modi government, steadfast unity of left and democratic forces is the need of the hour. “The Modi government’s bulldozing of the Constitution, it’s principles and constitutional bodies needs to stop,” added GR Tamta, President of Ambedkar Mission.
Com. Rajiv Dimri, central committee member of CPI(ML) and central observer for conference, addressed the session and said that the Modi regime with the policies of lies, and ‘divide and rule’ is spreading the tentacles of communal-corporate fascism. We need build a concentrated people’s campaign to expose Modi Ke Jhoot (Lies of Modi government).
Com. Purushottam Sharma, National Secretary of AIKM, said that with the brazen attack by Modi government on the people, their lives and resources and on the Constitution, we all must remain steadfast in the struggle to save our republic and foundational principles from the tyranny.
Comrade Sanjay Sharma, Politburo Member and Uttarakhand In charge from the CC, Rajendra Pratholi, Central Committee Member, AIPF National Convenor Girija Pathak, Vidhya Rajwar, Vijay Kumar and Srikanth also addressed the conference and called for steadfast campaign to save the nation, it’s democracy and constitution from the Modi-BJP’s fascist assault.

Comrades from AISA Ramnagar also presented a revolutionary song. The open session concluded with the reading of Preamble to the Indian Constitution.
The delegate session of the conference witnessed presentation of various reports and enthusiastic discussions. The conference elected a 19-member state committee with Com. Indresh Maikhuri as the state secretary.
