*Christian Unity Forum, Bastar Division strongly condemns the Chhattisgarh Freedom of Religion Bill and demands its withdrawal*

*CPI (ML) Red Star calls the Chhattisgarh Freedom of Religion Bill a black law*

Raipur, April 14, 2026:
On April 13, a massive public meeting was organized at City Ground, Jagdalpur under the leadership of the Christian Unity Forum, Bastar Division, condemning the Chhattisgarh Freedom of Religion Bill and demanding its withdrawal. Thousands of women and men participated in the सभा.

Addressing the gathering were Bishop Akhilesh Edgar from Raipur, Pastor Ajay Paul, Comrade Katlam (CPI), Amarjeet Patel (State President, Mool Nivasi Sangh), Chowa Ram Sahu (Caste Annihilation Movement), Comrade Saura (State Secretary, CPI (ML) Red Star), V. N. Prasad Rao (Convenor, Jan Sangharsh Morcha Chhattisgarh), Advocate Son Singh Jhali, and other speakers.

Comrade Saura, State Secretary of CPI (ML) Red Star, stated that on April 13, 1919, the day of Baisakhi, thousands had gathered when General Dyer ordered indiscriminate firing, killing hundreds. Today, the fascist RSS-BJP government has brought the Chhattisgarh Freedom of Religion Bill 2026, which is a preparation for brutal repression against minorities, especially the Christian community. This bill is a more cruel version of the one introduced during the Raman Singh government in 2006. It violates Article 25 of the Constitution of India, which guarantees every individual the freedom to practice religion of their choice.

According to CPI (ML) Red Star, this bill has been deliberately introduced to target minorities, particularly Christians and Muslims. This became evident when a tweet from the Chief Minister’s/CMO’s account spoke about freeing the state from “non-believers,” although the tweet was later deleted. The Chief Minister or his advisors must clarify what is meant by the term “non-believers.” Does the state government have any data on how many people have been converted through inducement since 2006? Or how many cases of forced conversion have been registered since the present government came to power in 2003?

Available information suggests that no such forced conversions are taking place in the state. Chhattisgarh is facing severe poverty and unemployment, while natural resources—jal, jungle, zameen—are being handed over to corporate houses under state patronage. As a result, attacks on poor working people are intensifying in the interests of corporate forces.

The hardships of Dalits, oppressed sections, women, Adivasis, minorities, and the working masses are increasing. To divert attention from these issues, the Sangh-backed, Manuvadi fascist forces find it necessary—like in Maharashtra—to launch a new hate campaign against minorities, especially Christians and Muslims. Under this campaign, incidents such as harassment of Christian nuns in Durg, attacks on Christian communities and their prayer sites by Bajrang Dal groups, obstruction of burial rites in Kanker and across Bastar, and even exhumation and reburial of bodies at unknown locations by the administration are being carried out.

All speakers unanimously stated that today, corporate houses are ruling the country in alliance with Sangh-backed fascist forces. The Modi government is serving corrupt corporate giants like Adani and Ambani. The poor, working masses, oppressed sections, SCs, STs, OBCs, and minorities are suffering. There is an urgent need for all to unite and fight against these fascist forces.

The Bastar Division convention of the Christian Unity Forum in Jagdalpur has called upon all democratic and progressive forces of the state to unite and strongly oppose this conspiratorial and divisive bill.

CPI (ML) Red Star Strongly Condemns the Chhattisgarh Freedom of Religion Bill

Says It Is a Preparation for Brutal Repression of Minorities, Especially the Christian Community

Raipur, March 22, 2026: Comrade Saura, State Secretary of CPI (ML) Red Star, in a statement issued today, said that the Chhattisgarh Freedom of Religion Bill 2026 is a preparation by the fascist Sangh–BJP government for brutal repression of minorities, especially the Christian community. This bill is a more draconian version of the law introduced during the Raman Singh government in 2006. It violates Article 25 of the Constitution of India, which guarantees every person the freedom to practice religion according to their own will.

According to CPI (ML) Red Star, the bill has been deliberately introduced to target minorities, especially Christians and Muslims. This became evident when a tweet from the Chief Minister Sai/CMO’s official account spoke about making the state “free from ‘vidharmis’ (heretics).” Although the tweet was later deleted, the Chief Minister or his advisors must clarify what they mean by the term “vidharmi.” Does the state government have any data on how many people have been induced to convert since 2006? Or how many cases of forced conversion have been registered since the BJP government came to power in 2003?

Available information suggests that no such religious conversions are taking place anywhere in the state. Chhattisgarh is facing severe poverty and unemployment, while land, forests, and natural resources are being handed over to corporate houses with state patronage. As a result, attacks on poor working people are intensifying in the interest of corporate capital. Under the protection of senior BJP leaders, the state is increasingly turning into a hub of narcotics or an “opium state.” The hardships of Dalits, oppressed communities, women, Adivasis, minorities, and the working masses are continuously increasing.

To divert attention from these pressing issues, it has become necessary for the Sangh’s Manuvadi fascist forces to launch a new campaign of hatred against minorities—especially Christians and Muslims—similar to what is happening under the fascist double-engine government in Maharashtra. As part of this campaign, incidents such as the harassment of Christian nuns in Durg, attacks by saffron outfits like Bajrang Dal on Christian communities and their places of worship across the state, obstruction of burial rights of Christians in Kanker and the Bastar region, and even the forced exhumation of bodies and their reburial at unknown locations by the administration are taking place.

CPI (ML) Red Star has appealed to all democratic and progressive forces in the state to unite and strongly oppose this conspiratorial and divisive bill.

The Modi government’s move to amend the 2019 Transgender Persons Act is perfectly in tune with the diktats of Manusmriti, the ideological guideline of RSS, that treats women and all oppressed as “subhuman”. In fact, the historic judgement of the Supreme Court, upholding the fundamental rights of transgenders with the stipulation that the “third gender” should be recognised on the basis of “self-identification” without requiring medical procedures, came on March 15, 2014, just two months before the ascent of the Modi regime on May 26, 2014. Later, it was under strong democratic pressure that the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act came into being in 2019, in consonance with the 2014 ruling of the Supreme Court.

However, the fascist stranglehold over all aspects of Indian society has been steadily intensifying ever since the ascendance of the Modi regime. Not only Hindutva fascists, but fascists the world over, are opposed to transgender people because they view gender non-conformity as a threat to their rigid social order, which is based on traditional gender roles, and patriarchal social structures. Transgender identities defy the “biological essentialism” that fascist ideology uses to enforce strict societal control. Since fascism relies on a strict, traditional binary of male/female roles, transgender identities are considered as a threat to its “nationalism” (cultural nationalism in the case of RSS), as it disrupts the idea of a nation, by undermining traditional family structures which are essential for a strong nation. To be precise, all fascists, are opposed to a “gender theory” that encompasses feminism and transgender movements , and always brand them as “liberal”and “left” threats to the traditional social order. In other words, neoliberal fascists (neo-fascists) the world over, who are patriarchal to the core , target all transgender movements and frame LGBTQ+ rights as a threat to the fascist regime. Trumpism, the US version of fascism today, is a typical instance. Trump is notorious for using language that dehumanises transgender people depicting them as a social threat. He has already directed federal law enforcement agencies to investigate “radical gender ideology” stigmatizing it as a threat to US. Now, through the Transgender Amendment Act, the Modi regime, which is clinging on to the apron strings of Trump regarding policy decisions, is now copying the same for India also.

Now coming to the issue,the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Amendment Bill, 2026 that was introduced in Lok Sabha on March 13, 2026 redefines the transgender Identity so as to deny or exclude such persons from the Constitutional protection by shifting them away from “self-perceived identity” toward a stricter, “medical-board-based” recognition process. This undermines both the spirit of the 2019 Act and the 2014 Supreme Court judgement that fully upheld the self-identification process and rejected the need of a medical board. Without going into the details, as all organisations and movements of the transgender people and oppressed peoples organisations including all well-meaning people have already stated, this fascist move to forcefully interfere in the Identity of transgender people is aimed at excluding and further marginalising them by denying them employment and welfare provisions. While the material objective of this far-right heinous move is denying welfare, dignity and employment, its ideological foundation is “gender essentialism” and patriarchy inherent in “cultural nationalism” and its approach towards denying the right of self-determination to transgender persons.

We appeal to all democratic and progressive forces to rise up against this reactionary move on the part of the fascist regime and stand in solidarity with the transgender persons at this critical juncture. All those who oppose fascism should come Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Amendment Bill 2026 which seeks to remove trans persons’ right resolutely demanding the Modi government to summarily withdraw the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Amendment Bill 2026 that deny them the right to self-determination and the fundamental rights to live with dignity.

The most condemnable US-Zionist aggression on Iran in violation of all International Laws, and all postwar Covenants, Conventions and Statutes, that began on February 28, 2026, is still continuing with intensifying horrors. This unprovoked, and treacherous offensive, that too when negotiations were going on with Iran, by US imperialism, the number one enemy of world people, and the Zionist regime which acts as the strategic postwar Middle East military outpost of US, beginning with the killing of Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and bombing of an elementary school in Iran that brutally murdered 160 children among around 175 people, has already destabilised the entire Middle East. Civilian casualties of unparalleled proportions, environmental destruction and economic collapse including galloping oil prices are now spreading beyond the Middle East and engulfing the world. More serious is the concern that this aggression, consequent on the heroic resistance of Iran, quite contrary to the calculations of Trump and Netanyahu and their Islamophobic allies and lackeys the world over, is pushing the situation into a nuclear risk, a plausible danger associated with the lawless Zionist regime which has illegally acquired nuclear weapons with the support its imperialist allies. Irrespective of the final outcome and culmination of the war, one thing has become obvious: the geopolitical-economic relations of the Middle East with its repercussions on global power balance will never be the same as before!

This vicious imperialist aggression has once again exposed the far-right, neofascist and depoliticised world situation when Iran is single-handedly resisting the world’s largest military machine, now run by a reckless and psychopathic pedophile, which is symptomatic of the extreme decay and degeneration of imperialism and its institutions. One of its concrete manifestations is the latest GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) Resolution at the UNSC (UN Security Council) supported by 135 countries including the most populous India which even co-sponsored it, that demanded immediate cessation of all attacks by the Islamic Republic of Iran and condemning its actions aimed at “obstructing international navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.” Instead of resolutely condemning the unilateral US-Zionist aggression on Iran, this Resolution became a shameless neocolonial apology and subservience of all imperialist lackeys. It is heartwarming that many governments from the Afro-Asian-Latin American continents kept away from this one-sided and Islamophobic Resolution, along with China and Russia having their own imperialist self-interests in this regard. More despicable is the political inability of Gulf regimes, who are clinging on to the apron strings of the US, to demand a withdrawal of the military bases from their soil that serve US geopolitical-economic interests. These US military bases have become a threat to peace and security in the region and the biggest source of all instabilities in the Middle East in the postwar neocolonial period.

Meanwhile, Iran has launched missile and drone attacks against US military bases in many countries across the Middle East such as Iraq, Kuwait, Jordan and UAE as part of its self-defence strategy. This is an unprecedented blow to the superpower arrogance of the US and has inflicted severe damages to its costly military Infrastructures. Coupled with this, Iran has restricted passage along the Strait of Hormuz through which 20 percent (40 percent of the oil import by India, an ally of the US) of global oil trade takes place. As of latest information, except for select friendly countries such as Russia and China who kept away from the UNSC Resolution against Iran, oil tankers and vessels from NATO and their allies are disallowed to pass through Hormuz. This has sky-rocketed global oil and gas prices, sending shock waves across the world. At the same time, Iran’s blocking of the Strait of Hormuz for Western imperialist powers and their allies is a strategic blow to US, the postwar supreme arbiter, while its large number of high-tech military bases in the region remain as spectators. As such, to keep the allies and lackeys with it, the Trump regime has been forced to announce a 30-day waiver on sanctions for Russian oil, as a move to stabilize crude prices.

To come to the core issue, Iran is now single-handedly (amid unconfirmed reports of logistical support from Russia and China) withstanding the full power of the combined US-Zionist military machine in the Middle East, even inflicting heavy damages to US military bases. Over more than half-a-century, it is historic that only Iran, which is now totally devastated by the US-Zionist aggression, has come forward to attack the entire US military network in the Middle East. It is a direct challenge not only to the Islamophobic Trump regime and for the vicious financial-military industrial complex of the US, which is the ultimate beneficiary of war, but also to the entire Anglo-Saxon imperialism of the last two hundred years. Obviously, except a few countries like Spain, the leading powers of Europe and even India (as is evident from Trump-Netanyahu-Modi bonhomie) have never come forward condemning the outright and gross violation of international laws by the US-Zionist axis. India’s silence is all the more revealing since, being a founding member of BRICS, it should have stood in solidarity with Iran, another member of BRICS. China, while effectively competing with the US, upholding its so-called “diplomatic restraint” is busy with its preparations for the scheduled visit of Trump to Beijing for a high-stakes summit, which is expected to prepare the roadmap for a ‘multipolar’ arrangement for global plunder.

Of course, the US-Zionist aggression on Iran is not an overnight development; on the contrary, it is the culmination of a long drawn out process since Trump’s unilateral withdrawal from Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) or ‘Iran Nuclear Deal’ in 2018 during his first term. It is in continuation of that, reminiscent of the 2003 Bush-Blair aggression on Iraq under the false claims of ‘weapons of mass destruction’ and execution of Saddam Hussein, Trump constantly accused Iran of rebuilding the nuclear weapons program, culminating in his criminal and illegal aggression on it beginning with February 28, 2026. Contrary to the argument of Trump’s American critics, though Epstein files may have been an immediate cause for the present attack, as in the case of his intervention in Venezuela, it has been the consistent US imperialist interests that prompted this gruesome aggression on Iran. And, as analysts point out, the US-Zionist axis has been effectively using
all available means of cyber expertise, intelligence network, communication and analytical technologies to track the movement of Khamenei that facilitated to eliminate him at the first instance.

However, the sustained resistance of Iran imparting heavy blows to the world’s mightiest military machine has exposed the strategic weakness of US imperialism and its military outpost Zionist Israel. It has challenged and exposed the structural weakness and vulnerabilities of the US military network in the Middle East. It reveals that the declining material base of US imperialism has become incapable of sustaining the hundreds of military bases across the world, and also exposing its failure to fulfill superpower responsibilities before its allies and lackeys. This has politically enabled Iran to forcefully put forward its reasonable and logical conditions for a permanent end to the war rather than succumbing to the aggressors’ cease-fire diktats, even as Trump and Netanyahu have already demanded unconditional surrender by Iran. Meanwhile, according to reports, as per Pentagon directive, US marines are heading towards Iran leading to a prolonged invasion on Iran using ground forces.

At this critical juncture, it is adorable that Iran is heroically resisting the US-Zionist aggressors. While US-Zionist axis is demanding unconditional surrender, Iran has come to the fore challenging the super-power authority on declaring cease-fire diktats. Accordingly, Iran has put forward three conditions for permanently ending the illegal war of aggression. In general, they are: 1) recognise all of Iran’s legitimate rights as a sovereign country; 2) war reparations from the aggressors for the damages, and 3) binding international guarantees against future aggression. Fully knowing the irrelevance of the toothless UN which has already been exposed as a neocolonial tool of US-led imperialism, Iran has also put forward these demands before the international community. Of course, linked with these demands, there are many issues regarding which, along with the international community, the workers and oppressed peoples of the world who bear the brunt of the imperialist-fascist oppression today, need to be raised for serious evaluation. The US-Zionist aggression on Iran is the appropriate context for raising these issues.

Most important of all is regarding the present international order, where monopoly over nuclear weapons is with a few imperialist-fascist regimes and their allies. Keeping this monopoly, the rogue regimes among them, the most typical being the US-Zionist axis, are now threatening the non-nuclear countries in various forms. Iran is a victim of this constant threat and blackmailing. US imperialism is the only power who used atomic weapons against an already defeated Japan in 1945. Ironically, the same criminal power, and using agencies like IAEA and NPT at its disposal, is now invading Iran, accusing it for weaponisation and nuclear enrichment. Everybody knows that Zionist Israel acquired nuclear power under the cover of Anglo-Saxon imperialism, for maintaining it as a threat to Arab nations and for ensuring US petrodollar interests. In this context, while upholding global nuclear disarmament as an ideal, the international community should come forward for abolishing the nuclear monopoly and custodian status of a few imperialist-fascist powers. And till the emergence of a world order with complete disarmament and nuclear safety for humankind, the right to possess nuclear weapons should be left to the prerogative of the people of every nation rather than to any superpower diktats. Viewed from this perspective, it should be the right of the Iranian people to decide on nuclear enrichment.

Related to this is the question of US military bases. Trumpism and the aggressiveness displayed by it in Latin America and the Middle East are only symptoms of the weakening of the crisis-ridden US imperialism. Historically, no ruling class on earth has ever surpassed the criminality, horror and terrorism unleashed by US imperialism. And the aggressiveness, lawlessness and criminality displayed by it in the neoliberal period in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Venezuela and now in Iran have surpassed everything that preceded them. Therefore, the comity of nations, together with the workers and oppressed peoples of all nations, should rise up against the hundreds of US military bases located across the world. It is up to the people of the Middle East to raise the firm demand for an immediate withdrawal of all military bases from the entire Gulf region. Now these military bases are used for materialising the so-called “Greater Israel” based on the Zionist “biblical rights” over the entire area between Euphrates in Iraq and Nile in Egypt, a position now endorsed by die-hard “Christian-Zionists” from the US also. As such, the demand for ending US military bases should be clubbed with the Zionist withdrawal from Gaza and all occupied territories including Lebanon leading to the establishment of a people’s democratic and secular Palestine where all the natives from there, irrespective of their religion, have the right to live as citizens. It should also be clubbed with the cancellation of Trump’s Board of Peace, which is envisaged as a tourist- financial-military hub.

Hence, at this critical juncture, we resolutely appeal to the workers and oppressed peoples of all countries to rise up in solidarity with the Iranian people in their historic resistance against US imperialism and Neofascist Zionism!

Red Salute to the People of Iran for their Historic Resistance against Imperialism and Zionism!

The US-Zionist axis, the root of all evil in the world today, without any provocation, has again unilaterally attacked Iran in violation of all international laws and conventions. As per information, the Israeli Defence Force, which called the aggression on Iran as operation “Lion’s Roar”, has justified it for “dramatically weaken the regime and its military capabilities.”

It’s a shame for India that Indian Prime Minister was having strategic ideological-political and military engagements in Tel Aviv when the US-Zionist evil axis was coordinating the arrangements for this heinous crime. And the attack took place hours after Modi left Israel after addressing its parliament. Revealingly, on the eve of Modi’s Israel visit, India had also issued an urgent travel advisory for over 10000 Indian citizens in Iran to leave it with immediate effect. Thus, this unprovoked and illegal US-Zionist attack on Iran has exposed India’s unholy links with US-Zionist. As such, the GOI should come forward condemning this flagrant violation of international law by US-Zionist terrorists.

The international Community should rise up and take appropriate steps to stop this aggression before its escalation to a catastrophic situation.

As part of the intensifying Hindutva-Zionist nexus, whose shared ideological basis is anti-Muslimness or Islamophobia, India has abstained from the 17 February Joint Statement by 85 Countries at the UN criticising Israel’s tightening illegal control over the West Bank. Among other things, the Statement says: “We strongly condemn unilateral Israeli decisions and measures aimed at expanding Israel’s unlawful presence in the West Bank.” This disgraceful position taken by India is linked with Modi’s scheduled visit to Israel on 25 February and also in view of the Hindutva regime’s renewed servility to the US, as the Trump-led Board of Peace is to meet in Washington.

No doubt, this is not an overnight development. Under the Modi regime, India has been abstaining from a series of UN Resolutions against Israeli criminalities on Palestinians. This has been more specific during the last two years. Instances are October 2023 UNGA that called for an immediate truce in the Israeli-Hamas conflict, December 2023 UN vote seeking legal opinion from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on Israel’s “prolonged occupation”, June 2025 UNGA calling for an “immediate, unconditional and permanent” ceasefire in Gaza, etc. Though there had been a post Cold war neoliberal dilution in India’s firm solidarity with Palestine, since the 1990s, the strategic shift in India’s alliance towards the Zionist regime took place with the ascendence of Modi regime in 2014 and Modi’s visit to Israel in 2017 – the first Indian prime minister to do so.

Of course, India had a glorious stance regarding the Palestine question that was inseparably linked up with India’s erstwhile anti-colonial position and solidarity with the oppressed peoples of the world. It was based on this perspective that Mahatma Gandhi, ‘Father of the Nation’, resolutely opposed the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine in 1938 itself , calling it “wrong and inhumane”. He argued that Palestine belonged to the indigenous Arabs and that forcing a state there with imperialist aid was a crime against humanity. Gandhi had unequivocally stated: “Palestine belongs to the Arabs in the same sense that England belongs to the English or France to the French”. Gandhi was against Zionism and viewed the Zionist project in Palestine as an imperialist, settler-colonial imposition. To be precise, during the anti-colonial struggle and in the Nehruvian period and as part of the Non-Aligned Movement, India consistently stood in solidarity with the Palestinians and oppressed Arab peoples. For instance, India was the first non-Arab country to recognise the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) in 1974 and among the first to recognise the State of Palestine in 1988.

True, when the broad anti-colonial stream in India remained opposed to Zionism, the RSS, whose ‘cultural nationalism’ is a cover for colonial-imperialist servitude, has been upholding a Hindutva narrative regarding this from its very inception. Both Savarkar and Golwalkar were sympathetic to the Zionist cause and viewed Zionism or political Judaism as a model for the Hindu Rashtra based on the ideology of Hindutva or political Hinduism. Today under the Modi regime led by the BJP, the political tool of RSS, India’s strategic partnership, encompassing economic and military deals, with the Zionist regime are perfectly in tune with this Hindutva perception. And, the clamour for “Hindutva India” and ”Zionist Israel” and strengthening Saffron-Zionist nexus with deeper anti-Muslim ideological underpinnings have become the dominant political discourse in Indian neofascist situation.

Now the Joint Statement by 85 countries has, in essence, exposed Trump’s Board of Peace and opposes Israeli moves under its cover to alter the demographic composition and status of the entire Palestinian territory occupied since 1967, including East Jerusalem. However Modi regime’s refusal to join this initiative has become ignominious. Revealingly, India is the only founder-member of BRICS that stays out of the initiative which was endorsed even by European Union and Quad partners, including Japan and Australia.

Meanwhile, consequent on widespread criticism and isolation among the comity of nations, as a belated face-saving exercise, and as a second thought, even while remaining out of the Joint Statement by 85 countries, India is reported to have added its name to the list of countries criticising Israel’s unilateral moves on the West Bank. By this ‘face-saving’move’, India avoided a situation of antagonizing both the Zionist regime and the US imperialist master. And, Modi’s upcoming visit to Israel points to a further neofascist reinforcement of the Hindutva-Zionist nexus.

We appeal to all progressive-democratic forces who stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people to come forward against this condemnable pro-Zionist move by the Modi regime.

CPI (ML) Red Star salutes the working class, peasants and all exploited and oppressed sections for the country-wide mobilisation and participation in the General Strike on 12 February 2026. According to reports, around 30 crore people from more than 600 districts across India participated in the All India strike.

Together with protests against the four Labour Codes and the Free Trade Deals with US, EU and other imperialist countries, the Charter of Demands included repeal of VB-G RAM G Act, SHANTI Act, Viksit Bharat Shiksha Adhishthan Bill, the Draft Seeds Bill, Electricity (Amendment) Bill, etc. that facilitate corporate Hindutva fascism. The strike has its impact on both formal and informal sectors in varying proportions across India.

Meanwhile, while the strike was going on, it’s highly condemnable that the fascist regime pushed through the Industrial Relations Code ( Amendment) Bill 2026 in the Lok Saha, as part of further enhancing “ease of doing business” for the most regressive corporate-crony capitalists. In the guise of avoiding “future unwarranted complication”, the Industrial Relations Code aims at replacing the Trade Unions Act (1926), Industrial Employment Act (1946) and the Industrial Disputes Act (1947). These and other corporate-fascist offensives taking away whatever left of erstwhile pro-worker provisions, call for prolonged and uncompromising protests in the days ahead, from the workers, peasants and all toiling and oppressed masses in the country!

CPI ( ML) Red Star once again congratulates all the workers, peasants and toiling people who made the All India Strike a succes!
