Our people continue to stand firm and resist in the face of Zionist plans aimed at liquidating the Palestinian cause – Com Maher Al-Taher

During an interview on Al Jazeera Mubasher and Al Mayadeen, Dr. Maher Al-Taher, the Polit Bureau Member and the official in charge of international relations at the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), said: “The prisoner exchange deal, in its first phase, includes the release of a number of our comrades in the occupation prisons, including our women PB comrade Khalida Jarrar and the fighter Abla Saadat, the life partner of our Party General Secretary comrade Ahmed Saadat. The list also includes a number of male and female prisoners of the Popular Front.”

He said: “We congratulate our steadfast prisoners in the occupation prisons from all factions who have written the most wonderful types of steadfastness and defiance of the Zionist enemy.”

He added that reaching the signing of the exchange deal and the ceasefire would not have been possible without the legendary steadfastness recorded by our people in the Gaza Strip for 15 continuous months, in the face of a war of extermination in full view of the entire world. Al-Taher stressed that the main challenge we face today is the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip, treating the wounded, bringing in aid, and addressing all the effects and consequences of the barbaric aggression on our beloved Strip and on our Palestinian land.

Al-Taher also stressed that our people will continue to stand firm and resist in the face of the Zionist plans aimed at liquidating the Palestinian cause, stressing that our people will continue the struggle until they regain their full national rights.

The great national leader, Daoud Maragha, also mourned “Abu Ahmed Fouad,” saying: “With hearts filled with sadness and pain, we bid farewell to the great Palestinian leader Abu Ahmed Fouad, former Deputy Secretary-General of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, who spent six consecutive decades, until the last moment of his life, serving the cause of his people and nation, believing in the option of resistance as a strategic option in confronting the Zionist enemy. This leader remained committed on his principles like someone holding onto hot coals, neither compromising nor giving in, believing in continuing the struggle until every inch of Palestinian soil is liberated.

(Comrade Dr Maher Al-Taher is Polit Bureau member and spokesperson of the International Bureau of PFLP)

Press Statement

25.12.2024

The corporate agent government led by the Sangh Parivar is moving in power against the interests of the people of the country. Not only that, it is defying the constitution of the country and promoting corporate-Manuvad. It has challenged the democratic, secular republican system. It is going to turn the multinational, multi-religious, multi-ethnic, multilingual, multi-cultural India into a Brahminical-capitalist Hindu nation. There are dozens of examples of this. Recently, Amit Shah made fun of the architect of the Constitution, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, in the Rajya Sabha, which has brought shame to the entire country.

Fascist measures of the central government:

1. Removing the ban on government officials and employees from participating in Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) activities.

2. The participation of Hindutva-oriented programs by the Prime Minister and other central government ministers, MPs, officials, and Supreme Court judges.

3. Hindutva Fascist parties are using The Election Commission, CBI, police military and government institutions to supress people.

4. Creating an atmosphere of hatred and continuing the anti-Muslim attack through the Citizenship Amendment Act, the new Waqf Act, the complete ban on cow slaughter, etc.

5. Continuing the widespread attack on Dalits’ right to equality, reservation, identity, and food culture by blatantly promoting Manu-casteism as an eternal culture.

6. Continuing the male patriarchy on women by openly denying their freedom.

7. The republican rights of state governments are being snatched away through GST, one nation one election, one police, new transport policy and changes in CrPC.

8. Four labor codes have been passed to build highways to extort the labor of more than 50 crore workers in India.

9. The struggle of farmers across the country for the legal guarantee of support price is being ignored and the agricultural sector is being sacrificed to corporate capitalists.

10. The history of the country is being completely Brahminized and the educational curriculum is being transformed into an ignorant Sanatanist education.

11. The entire country of India is being demolished and a Brahminist, capitalist Hindu nation is being built in its place, and Manasmriti is being raised over the country in place of the Constitution.

Through all these mismanagement and evil policies, the Modi government stands as an anti-national, anti-people fascist force. It is an urgent task for all oppressed and working class to build a united struggle at all levels against this.

Against this backdrop, the Anti-Manuvadi Anti-Fascist Peoples Forum Raichur has come into existence in collaboration with more than 14 Dalit, farmer, labor, Kannada, Muslim, Christian, women’s organizations.

Under its leadership, a protest will be held in front of the District Collector’s office on 1/1/2025 and a demand letter will be sent to the President of India through collector.

To create a platform in the taluka and hobli level After that, a big district-level conference will be held and a challenge will be given to the Hindutva forces. To build and carry this platform for a long-term continuous struggle.

Protest march to Lingasur Assistant Commissioner Office and Public Meeting by Dalit Organisations and Progressive Sections

In Solidarity with CPI (ML) Red Star and its PB Member Com R Manasayya; Against RSS- Sri Ram Sena Threat on Com R Manasayya and Party

On 06.12.2024, a mass protest march and public meeting were held by various Dalit organizations, intellectuals and progressive sections under the leadership of Dalit Joint Forum against RSS- Sri Ram Sena Fascist threat on CPI (ML) Red Star Polit Bureau Member and TUCI General Secretary Com R Manasayya. Furious on the fierce ideological and political offensive by Com Manasayya against Manuvadi Brahmanical Hindutva forces, the ideological base of RSS-led Hindutva fascism, Sri Ram Sena, has been continuously threading Com R Manasayya. Various progressive forces and secular democratic intellectuals have come forward to protest against this fascist threat on Com Manasayya and the movement led by him in Karnataka.

As a part of these, various Dalit organizations and intellectuals organized the protest march and public meeting at Lingasur in Raichur District of Karnataka. During the protest march and public meeting, the leaders and speakers represented by various organizations emphasized the united struggles against the fascist move towards Hindurashtra, against the implementation of Manusmriti, against Hindutva Fascism and the importance of upholding Democratic values and principles of the Indian Constitution. The speakers also condemned the venomous statements and speeches of the notorious President of Sri Ram Sena, Pramod Mutalik, who demanded and threatened to deport the leader of the oppressed masses, Com R Manasayya, from Raichur district.

After the public protest meeting, the organizers handed over the letter to the Assistant Commissioner, addressed to the Home Minster. The letter demanded the State Government intervene and take the required steps to curb this fascist offensive. After Com R Manasayya issued a statement on 17th November against Sri Ram Sena and their leaders who insulted Dr Baba Saheb Ambedkar by equating him and putting his photo with Fascist V D Savarkar, after this statement, Sri Ram Sena and their leaders were threatening Manasayya publically and demanding his apologies. They also announced a ‘funeral march’ of Manasayya to his house if he did not apologize. The Dalit Joint Platform leaders stated in their letter to the Home minster that if the state does not interfere with the required steps by taking appropriate legal action against these fascist leaders and if the state does not give necessary protection to Manasayya, they shall go ahead expanding peoples’ protests from Taluk to Taluk and District to District level and provide people’s protection to the leader of the oppressed masses in Karnataka.

The protest program was jointly led by Karnataka Dalit Sangarsh Committee (Bhimavada) leaders Sri Lingappa Parangi and Mohan Gosli Karadakala, Lingasagur Taluk Chalavadi Mahasabha leader Sri Sanjeevappa Hunukunti, Dalit leader Sri Hanumanthappa Kunekallur, Dalit leader Sri Kuppanna Hosamani, SCST Association leader Sri Jamadagni Kotha and Umesh Aihole, Dalit Sangharsha Rakshana Vedike (Narayana Gowda Bana) leaders Sri Jilani Pasha and Hanumantha Nayaka, Karnataka Vijaya Sene leaders Sri Hanumantha Badiger and Rangappa, Karnataka Rakshana Vedike (Shivaramegowda Bana) leaders Sri Mahadeva Sarjapura, Hanumantha Chalavadi leaders CPIM Mudagal Hobli unit, AIRWO association leader Rukmini, RCF leader M Gangadhara, Adesh Naganoor, Chidananda Lingasura TUCI leader Shri Chinnappa Kotriki and Shri Tipparaj Gejalagatti, KRS leader Veerabhadrappa Hadapada, Sharanabasava Echanala.

Indefinite Relay fasting struggle crosses 100 days…!

admin — Tue, 03 Dec 2024 15:09:48 +0000

The Mundakkai-Chooralmala landslide disaster of the Wayanad district of Kerala was one of the biggest natural calamities that claimed hundreds of lives, including women, men, children and even pregnant women. It is the responsibility of the government to rehabilitate the victims of the Mundakai disaster, in which more than four hundred people died; many people went missing. They lost everything, including property, and thousands of families lived in the face of the disaster.

Foreign company Harrisons is challenging the people of Kerala by taking the district administration’s move to take over a small portion of the HML and Elston estates that is required for rehabilitation under the Disaster Management Act 2005.

Just as the resettlement of Puthumala, Pettimudi and Kavalapara disaster victims is not done, Mundakai resettlement cannot be allowed to remain uncertain.

Harrisons is a foreign company that has illegally occupied hundreds of thousands of acres of land in Wayanad and other districts, leaving tens of thousands landless and homeless, including plantation workers and tribals.

The mainstream Left party that came to power in 1957 abandoned even the slogan “Land to the tiller.”

In the name of the protection /conservation of the plantation economy, the ruling so-called

The ‘ left’ government subordinated land laws to colonial interests. In 2016, Dr. M. G. Rajamanickam tabled a Special Officer’s report to the Pinarayi Vijayan government that advised the Pinarai government to confiscate all the 525,000 acres of plantation land illegally held by the illegitimate foreign plantation mafia. But Mr. Pinarayi Vijayan kept this report in cold storage.

Harrisons, Elston and the government are also colluding on the issue of land to resettle the disaster victims. As part of that, the company filed a case in the High Court against the government’s order to acquire land under the Disaster Management Act, and the government informed the court that it will not acquire the land until the court orders. It also assured that compensation would be paid for the land vested with the government. This is a betrayal of the disaster victims, a challenge to the people of Kerala, an insult to the progressive forces and a sabotage of rehabilitation.

Since the government was not very keen to enforce the laws of the land and enhance rehabilitation by capturing the government’s own land, our Party, CPIML RED STAR, launched an indefinite strike at the Wayanad Collectorate, raising the slogans below.

Declare the Wayanad disaster as a national disaster, Write off all the debts of the disaster victims, Take back all the land grabbed by the plantation mafias, including the Harrisons, rehabilitate the disaster-prone people, including Mundakai with agricultural land and habitable housing,

A mass march to the headquarters of the HML company, which is subverting rehabilitation, was part of strengthening the strike of the disaster victims in front of the Wayanad Collectorate for the last 100 days under the party’s leadership.
