Central Committee members of the CPI ( M-L ) Gurram Vijaya Kumar spoke giving red salutes to Com . Madhu .

AYUSH Collaboration with the Indian Council of Medical Research for Scientific Validation - Suffer from Major Limitations
In a welcome move , the Ministry of Ayurveda , Yoga and Naturopathy , Unani , Siddha , Sowa Rigpa , and Homoeopathy ( AYUSH ) and the Indian Council of Medical Research ( ICMR ) have at last joined hands to undertake quality human clinical trials to generate evidence on the benefits of using ayurveda along with modern medicine ( evidence-based medicine ) in treating certain disease conditions of national importance . With its decades of experience in conducting human clinical trials , it makes eminent sense to rope in the ICMR to design and conduct 24
America for world supremacy . He said that even though the United States gained the upper hand in the subsequent period , it was not possible to build a world monopoly as it wanted . It is explained how the United States has intervened in various countries worldwide and carried out military attacks for its goal . He said that the United States has been running the war for the last one year to fulfil its hegemonic interests by making Ukraine a scapegoat and placing many burdens on the people of the world . He said that instead of facing the relatively weakened US imperialism , are poor in the country are showing surrender to it and acting as brokers , as a result of which 60 crore people are still living as poor and 35 crore people are poor in the country . He said that after coming to power , Modi is increasing caste and religious differences , and it is need of the hour to wage a united struggle against today ’ s fascist-style regime .
CPI ( M-L ) Andhra Pradesh state leader Com . Jhansi explained Com . Madhu ’ s efforts in the revolution movement and paid tributes to him . She said that the BJP government at
these trials . To begin with , the collaboration will be restricted to ayurveda . The other systems of AYUSH — yoga , unani , siddha and homoeopathy — may be included , and each system will be tested together with modern medicine when the central councils of the respective AYUSH systems are ready to work with the ICMR . An expert committee will soon decide the area / disease conditions to be included for detailed clinical testing using both ayurveda and modern medicine . Initially , clinical trials for each disease may have two arms — modern medicine as the the centre is attacking the non-BJP governments , and all the government systems are saying “ jee huzoor ” to the ruling party . She said that the BJP is increasing religious attacks . The ruling parties are misleading the people with wrong publicity . Desh Bachao does not mean bringing another ruling party to power in the place of BJP . She said that it is not possible to save the country without speaking a single word against the imperialists . Recalling the bright history of the struggle of the Communist Party , she said that the Communist Party has carried out the self respect struggles of Dalits and women . She said that there is a need to rekindle the class struggles and to carry out movements with the slogan ‘ land to tiller ’.
In this convention , CPI ( M-L ) Andhra Pradesh state committee leader Com . J . Kishore Babu , CPI ( M-L ) state committee leaders Com . Srikanth Mohanty ( Odisha ), Com . Sundara Vinayagam ( Tamil Nadu ), Com . Modem Mallesh ( Telangana ), and others spoke . People ’ s artistes sang songs on martyrs and people ’ s problems .
standard of care as well as a combination of modern medicine and ayurveda . The arm that uses both ayurveda and modern medicine will , if at all , only be able to validate the superiority of combining the two for better outcomes . Scientific validation of superior outcomes of combined therapy using ayurveda and modern medicine will form the basis on which integrated medicine will be offered to patients . Encouraging trial outcomes might probably serve as a starting point to undertake further trials using ayurveda interventions contd . in page 23
