Homage to Shaheed Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev

CPI Pledge to work for a society based on justice and equality

Ludhiana : 23 March 2015: Large number of people paid homage to the martyrs of the nation Shaheed Bhagat Singh, Raj Guru and Sukhdev today at Jagraon Bridge in which hundreds of activists of Communist Party of India (CPI) and CPI (M) Distt. Ludhiana along with social organizations and trade unions participated. They garlanded their statues and pledged to build a nation based on justice and equality. The speakers while addressing said that the martyrs had dreamt of a nation with equal rights to grow for all the citizens. He said that the country has never faced the danger of social disintegration and economic loot by the foreign Multi National Corporations and local corporate as today under the BJP government at the center. Schemes for the social welfare of  poor are being diluted or disbanded. Small entrepreneurship is not being  facilitated rather contained in name of master plan in cities.

They further criticised in strong words the RSS game plan of forcible conversions in the name of home coming. This is against the basic tenets of our constitution of independence of each individual of professing the faith he/she believes in. Trying to change the faith of a person or social group by force or considerations will create turmoil in the society and shake the secular fabric of our society. This is causing great threat to basic principles of constitution. Furthermore decision to change the history to suit Hindutva ideology of the RSS will poison the minds of children and split the society. People of India have understood the BJP’s machinations. This has been clearly reflected in the total rejection of the BJP in Delhi merely eight months after they came to power at the centre.

The speakers also were highly critical of the state government for deteriorating law and order situation in Punjab. Increasing drug peddling under the patronage of political bosses, rise of sand and land mafia. These have brought the once progressive state to lowest ebb. In Punjab youth is being deprived of jobs. As a consequence a large number of  young people have been towards drugs.
