contd from page 5
Govt. is going to hit them. The
states, which are already, pushed
into a status of municipalities
virtually under the increasing
concentration of powers in the
centre fear what is in store for
them. Especially, in the conditions
of frenzied drive on the part of BJP
to dismantle opposition, impose its
own rule everywhere by hook or
crook and to reduce even the
notion of federal structure into a
mockery, the states are worried of
possible
repercussions
of
developments in Kashmir. The
thirst of Hindutva, the talk of one
nation, one culture, one religion
and one language indulged in by
the BJP go against the concept of
diversity and the nature of India as
a flower house of various
nationalities that can unite and
prosper only on the basis of
equality, fraternity, secularism and
common urge and effort. So, the
attack on Kashmir people is an
attack on the entire exploited and
oppressed masses of Indian
people.
All the claims of BJP Govt. that
its more is, no doubt, a bitter pill, but will open the doors wide for
employment, investment and all-
round development of Kashmir are
totally misleading. Through their
policies of loot and subservience
to imperialism the Indian rulers had
already driven the country into
irredeemable economic crisis.
They had taken the unemployment
to unprecedented heights. They
are engaged in mortgaging and
selling off natural resources, public
sector industries, services and
human resources to foreign and
Indian corporate looters; they are
imposing back breading economic
burdens on the people. Placed
themselves in this state, it a big
fraud on the Kashmir people to
promise them a better future.
Nothing had prevented the Indian
rulers in the last seven decades to
address the problems of Kashmir
people. It is really astonishing for
the BJP first to plunge the Kashmir
people in utter darkness and tie
their hands and feet with heavy
chains and then promise them an
illusory feast. This is nothing but
playing with the lives and feelings
of Kashmir people. What one can
expect from them is to open the flood gates of Kashmir for foreign
and corporate loot, push through
their agenda of communal division.
The Indian rulers may silence
the Kashmir people for a while with
a heavy hand. But they cannot win
the people either by force or
manipulation. The Kashmir people
had seen the worst conditions.
They can be expected to overcome
the present difficult situation and
learn to stand on their feel and find
a way to continue the struggle.
It is most urgent and essential
to demand:
1. The restoration of all
freedoms and rights to the people
of Kashmir;
2. Restore all forms of
communication among the peop0le
inside Kashmir and with the outside
world.
3. Allow the leaders, workers
of
parties
and
peoples
organizations and media to function
with no restrictions whatsoever.
4. Kashmir people must be
allowed to ventilate their views and
grievances fully and freely so that
a dependable and lasting solution
to the Kashmir problem can be
found.

contd from page 22 contd from page 20 Com.P.Prasad, leader of
CPI(ML)ND, reiterated the stand of
their party taken in the note
presented at National seminar held
at Hyderabad.
Com. G.Vijaya Kumar, CCM of
CPI(ML) said that to achieve
victories in class struggles all of us
should come together and carry
forward the struggle of the people
and start the process of resolving
the differences existed among us.
Com. Madhu, CCM of CPI(ML)
made concluding speech and
asserted that this process has to
be continued in future to develop
united action and commonness
and this seminar is one step in such

process. (private companies) to cut-down
forests. Data for the last two
decades shows more than 90
percent of proposals to cut down
forests received governmental
clearance. On the other hand the
National Mineral development
Corporation (NMDC) is made a go-
between organisation to facilitate
mining legally in the forests in a
large scale by the multinational
corporations. At the same time it
grudges to permit the tribal and
forest dwelling communities on
their own lands in which they have
been living for generations. Such
has been the hypocricy of the
policy of conservation of forests, biodiversity and wild life adopted by
successive governments.
Now the so called wild-life
groups have been pleading and
arguing with all their might in the
Supreme Court to evict tribal and
forest dwellers in the name of
conserving forests and to revoke
the temporary stay granted on the
eviction of 1.8 million tribal and
forest dwelling families.
This barbarity on the part of
the so-called civilized sections of
the society against the adivasi
people is highly condemnable. The
natural rights of the tribal and
forest dwelling communities shall
be protected at all costs. It shall be
the demand of all democratic forces
of our country.
