[1] From: "P.J. Victor Raj" <pjvraj@yahoo.com> Date: Fri Jan 5, 2007 Subject: Beware BJP's new-found communal plank: Karat Beware BJP's new-found communal plank: Karat Special Correspondent CPI(M) to prepare charter for advancement of Muslims · Struggle against SEZs will continue · Concern over rising prices KOLKATA: The Communist Party of India (Marxist) has decided to bring out a "comprehensive charter for the advancement of the Muslim community in the socio-economic, educational and employment spheres," general secretary Prakash Karat said on Thursday. He also warned against the "newfound aggressive communal plank" the Bharatiya Janata Party had adopted. Addressing a press conference on the completion of the party's three-day Central Committee meeting, which was preceded by a Polit Bureau meeting here, Mr. Karat said, "The BJP is falling back on what it knows best — trying to raise communal passions even though experience shows that the people have understood and rejected the party's line in the past." "Minority baiting" He said, "It has adopted a rabidly communal platform at its national council session in Lucknow. The hallmark of this stand is minority baiting. The BJP is playing a very dubious game with its talk of fighting terrorism which, like its stand on the execution of Afzal Guru or its attitude to the Justice Sachar Committee report, is motivated by a communal outlook." Mr. Karat said, "The Sachar Committee report has effectively exposed the entire propaganda of the BJP about minority appeasement." The Central Committee decided to continue the party's struggle "against the manner in which Special Economic Zones (SEZs) are being set up all over the country, in which indiscriminately large tracts of land are being taken over." Mr. Karat said, "The present rules promote real estate speculation, and the CPI(M) is working for amendments to the SEZ Act and the rules." The party also wanted a "major overhaul of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894." The Committee felt that "the opposition in West Bengal and some other forces outside have sought to misrepresent the Singur project as an SEZ." Supporting the West Bengal Government's moves on the project, the Committee noted that the land-use policy formulated by it "should become the basis for the use of land for industrial and development projects." The party also expressed concern over the United Progressive Alliance Government's "failure to check rising prices and the rising rate of inflation." "The procurement policies are a shambles, and the public distribution system is affected," Mr. Karat said, regretting that the recommendations of the National Commission of Farmers were yet to be taken up. http://www.thehindu.com/2007/01/05/stories/2007010508641200.htm ---------- [2] From: Ashok <lama1126in@yahoo.co.in> Date: Fri Jan 5, 2007 Subject: Re: The year 2007 To me, it is rather more pity that a nation of more than 1 billion population is driven to the past as we remained misguided and lured by the western trends to shape our future as they wanted us to shape.. since they controlled the economies of poorer nations including India after WWs. China simply was wise enough to the temptations and persued its own track rather than falling in the rut where other nations were driven. Indians are raising other questions but Indians are Indians and cannot be easily protyped. Capitalism is cracking and facing a wall- like socialism and communism has already Shadiji. For evolving human mind and needs of human race all 'isms' would work adhoc unless and until these are based on Natural Cosmic Laws.

Why are we quite and not ask how did China become such a great industrial nation while in 1990 both nations were at same level. what we talk is to stop all the progress and go on andolan for one reason or other. I read letters where people wish to leave some states as it is. I have never seen anyone writing and questiuoning how we indtend to be a self sufficient nation in all aspects. we have laeaders who threaten their lives because some industry might find new jobs for them. Why dont we ask how to creat and rebuild our infrastructure and bring latest equipment and mchacinery to creat more jobs. Why dont we ask what are all these ministries doing? I have these kind of questions and maybe it does nto sound good but for God sake leave the grloripous past behind beause it had its drawbacks and maybe it was this type of thinkjing that kept India enslaved. It is time to wake up and start thinking of future. we hae already wasted 60 years in name of socialism. Show me one nation which under that system has flourished. Compare East Europe with Western Europe. Well I know some of us have phobia against West but almost all the technology comes from West. We only copy it and have not been able to improve much. so my honest opinion is leave the faults of West which are many but learn the good things from them.
