Shaheed-e-Azam
Bhagat Singh Nagar, November 23. - The four day 1st
All India Conference of Revolutionary Party of India (RMPI) started here with revolutionary zeal and
fervour. The Makhan Shah Lubana Bhawan
has been named as ‘Shaheed-e-Azam Bhagat Singh Nagar’ for this purpose. The whole complex is decorated by flexes
bearing quotations of different revolutionary leaders and proponents of various
progressive movements, slogans and flags.
The whole complex presents a very different revolutionary look.
The Party General Secretary, Com.
Mangat Ram Pasla, delivered his inaugural address in the Conference being
conducted under the presidium consisting of Comrade K.S. Hariharn, Ramesh Thakur, K.
Gangadharan, Rattan Singh Randhawa and Tejinder Singh Thind. In his address Com
Pasla said that this historical conference of RMPI is being held at a time when
the global capitalist crisis which began in the third quarter of 2008 has
deepened further. No country is left untouched by this crisis as
a result of it, the living conditions of the people world over have been adversely
affected. All efforts to solve this crisis have
miserably failed. The imperialist forces
are imposing the burden of this crisis on the working class. The natural resources of developing and third
world countries are being plundered mercilessly and the whole world is being terrorized
by the atmosphere of war.
While elaborating the situation in
the country, Com. Pasla said that India is also passing through a very
worrisome situation. The
communal-fascist forces under the leadership of Modi after acquiring power are leaving no stone
unturned to destroy the secular and democratic polity of the country and to
convert it into a theocratic state. The
policies being implemented by the Government under the directions of
imperialist forces are causing price rise, unemployment and hunger with each
passing day. Contrary to the hollow claims
of increase in GDP, the economy of the country is becoming critical day in and
day out as a result of which the number of unemployed youth is increasing at an
alarming rate. The claims of demonetization
and GST have proved to be false. By demonetization,
the ultra rich people of the country have been able to convert their black
money into white and the profits of Corporate Houses have increased
manifold.
The communal-fascist agenda of the
Sangh Parivar has come out in the open. There has been a steep rise in the attacks on
minorities, dalits, women and tribal people.
The Government is hell-bent on suppressing the voice of its opponents by
highlighting communal and blind
nationalist issues. Many intellectuals, writers and journalists having dissent
and scientific ideology are being attacked and killed. An atmosphere of terror is being developed to
silence their voice. So, the overall
situation in the country is very grim as a result of which there is wide-spread
unrest amongst the toiling masses.
Com. Pasla said that in such a situation,
RMPI will strive hard to stop the advance of these communal-fascist forces and
will tooth and nail oppose the neo-liberal policy of the Government by uniting
all left forces.
On this occasion, prominent writer,
progressive journalist and chairman of the Reception Committee Sh. Gulzar Singh
Sandhu extended a warm welcome to the delegates. He expressed the hope that
this 1st Conference of the RMPI will go a long way in diverting the
flow of Indian politics towards the ‘bhai-lalos’ of today and prove to be an
epoch-changing event.
Before
this, Comrade K.K.Rema hoisted the red flag in the sky rocketing slogans of “Inquilab
Zindabad” and the delegates who came from Kerala, Tamilnadu, Punjab,
Maharshtra, U.P., Haryana, Himachal, Delhi, Chandigarh, Bengal, Bihar, Dadar
Nagar Haveli, Gujrat states of India paid floral tributes to the martyres of
communist movement at the ‘Martyer Column’.
The Conference passed a resolution paying
homage to the martyers who laid their lives while opposing the murderous
attacks of capitalist/ imperialist forces and also to the rationalist leaders/
journalists like Sh.Narinder Dabolkar, Sh.Gobind Pansare, Prof. M.M. Kulburgi
and Ms. Gauri Lankesh. In another
resolution, homage was also paid to the
departed leaders/ workers of left movement.
Through
another Resolution the Conference expressed deep sense of anguish on the death
of many children and innocent people in Gorakhpur (UP), Maharashtra, Rajasthan
and other parts of India due to the utter negligence of the State Governments. It
also expressed grief over the suicides of farm-labourers and farmers and
hundreds of people being killed in road
accidents daily and the death of more than two dozen people in the fire
incident at Ludhiana.
