Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist)-New Democracy held a protest demonstration today i.e. on November 13, 2007 at Parliament Street (Delhi) from noon onwards to condemn the bloodbath, displacement, arson and violence let loose by CPM against peasantry resisting land acquisition in Nandigram. Instead of honouring the democratic rights of the peasantry against its displacement from its lands, the peasantry is facing Operation extermination and Displacement at the hands of CPM hoodlums with police, in an orgy of violence orchestrated, led and executed by CPM cadres and goondas and under tutelage of the top CPM leadership. CPI(ML)-New Democracy condemns the violence let loose on the peasantry of Nandigram by CPM, and demands resignation of CPM led West Bengal Govt. Police and armed CPM cadres must be removed from the area; the cadres and leaders guilty of violence in March ’07 and in Amgachia on 10.11.2007 must be punished. The Party demands immediate revocation of SEZ Act 2005. Holding aloft placards and banners, activists and people present raised slogans against SEZ Act 2005 and CPM’s violence in Nandigram. Students, youth and several intellectuals participated apart from the workers and party activists in the demonstration organized by Delhi Committee of the Party. An effigy of CPM led West Bengal Govt. was burnt. Speakers at the demonstration said that defeated in pro-MNC, pro-SEZ moves by the fighting peasantry of Nandigram organized under the banner of Bhoomi Uchhed Pratirodh Committee (BUPC), CPM has bared its fascist fangs and again let loose an organized blood-bath at Nandigram (West Bengal) and unleashed a reign of terror and killing on the peasantry which dared to protest forcible acquisition of its land. |

Scrap US-India Nuclear Deal! Manmohan Singh Govt. Resign!No Strategic Partnership with US Imperialism!Daring ‘Left’ allies of his Govt for the first time since becoming Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh displayed his deep sensitivity to the India-US Nuclear Deal. None of the calamities befalling the Indian people, most of them the making of his Govt. and the policies associated with him, had elicited outburst of this kind. It appears to be at the prospect of not being able to cap his career with the “crowning success” of tying India to the chariot wheel of the US imperialism’s global strategy. In relation to this deal, the two documents are much in discussion- one the Hyde Act and the other US-India Agreement on peaceful uses of nuclear energy under section 123 of the US Atomic Energy Act, 1954. This section enables US to reach such cooperation with other countries. To enable reaching such an Agreement with India as India is not a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), US Congress passed United States-India Peaceful Atomic Energy Cooperation Act, popularly known as Hyde Act. It was passed by the US House of Representatives on July 26, 2006 and by the US Senate on 16.11.2006 and was signed by US president Bush on December 18, 2006. It is this Act that enabled the US Govt. to reach the Agreement. The other is the Agreement for Cooperation between the Govt. of India and the Govt. of the United States of America Concerning Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy whose agreed text was released on August 3, 2007 (hereinafter referred to as the Agreement). The two documents make it abundantly clear that Manmohan Singh Govt. has mortgaged the interests of the country to the United States, has permitted interference of the US Govt. in Indian Nuclear Programme, and is a part of larger strategic cooperation with US imperialism for “Asia and beyond”. The Prime Minister, Foreign Minister have uttered half-truths, even plain falsehoods, to obfuscate the issues and mislead the people. Their spin masters in the media, the intellectuals sold out to imperialists, the comprador business houses sharing the loot and plunder of the country, are all exercising their lung power and pouring their ink to get the deal through. |

Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist)-New Democracy held a protest demonstration on November 6, 2007 at the Parliament Street, New Delhi against imposition of Martial Law in Pakistan by military dictator Parvez Musharraf, trampling of the democratic rights of the people of Pakistan under the military boots, and against growing intervention of American imperialism in South Asia.
Several intellectuals, youth and students took part in the programme, marked by preponderance of working class activists. The demonstration began at 12 noon. The demonstrators were addressed by the Secretary of Delhi Committee, Com. Aparna, President of Naujawan Bharat Sabha, Delhi Dr. Mrigank, General Secretary of the Pragatisheel Mahila Sangathan Poonam Kaushik, Convenor of Jan Hastakshep and former Principal of Motilal Nehru College of Delhi University Dr. N.K. Bhattacharaya and others.
Speakers highlighted the present attack on the democratic rights of the people of Pakistan is being launched with full aid and abetment of US imperialist rulers. In fact the military dictatorship of Parvez Musharraf is serving the interests of US imperialism at the cost of the interests of the people of Pakistan. People in Pakistan are being killed by the military to crush the anger of the people of the Pakistan against US imperialism. It is significant that Parvez Musharraf has shown this imposition of Martial Law in the name of Emergency as a part of the US led “war against terror”. It is also significant that US rulers and their western imperialist allies have been lukewarm in their criticism of imposition of Martial Law by Musharraf. Even belatedly when they criticized this imposition, they are not demanding end to Emergency.
Speakers pointed out that even the US press has pointed out that the proclamation of Martial Law had the backing of US Administration. In fact it was provoked by US Admn. An upsurge of movement for democracy and against anti-democratic military dictatorship in Pakistan along with increasing opposition for US imperialism and support to the Afghan people’s struggle against US led colonization as well as resentment against Pakistan rulers’ support to the US led military offensive against the people of Afghanistan- are all features of Pakistan society preceding Emergency. The brave fight of the people of the border areas of Pakistan for their refusal to help US and Pakistan Army against freedom fighters in Afghanistan as well as determined and brave participation of judges and lawyers even in street demonstrations and protests against the Emergency show the extent to which the people of the country are willing to fight for their rights.
