Four day 1st All India Conference of Revolutionary Party of India (RMPI) started with revolutionary zeal and fervour

Shaheed-e-Azam Bhagat Singh Nagar, November 23. - The four day 1^st All India Conference of Revolutionary Party of India (RMPI)  started here with revolutionary zeal and fervour.  The Makhan Shah Lubana Bhawan has been named as ‘Shaheed-e-Azam Bhagat Singh Nagar’ for this purpose.  The whole complex is decorated by flexes bearing quotations of different revolutionary leaders and proponents of various progressive movements, slogans and flags.  The whole complex presents a very different revolutionary look.

            The Party General Secretary, Com. Mangat Ram Pasla, delivered his inaugural address in the Conference being conducted under the presidium consisting of  Comrade K.S. Hariharn, Ramesh Thakur, K. Gangadharan, Rattan Singh Randhawa and Tejinder Singh Thind. In his address Com Pasla said that this historical conference of RMPI is being held at a time when the global capitalist crisis which began in the third quarter of 2008 has deepened further.   No country is left untouched by this crisis as a result of it, the living conditions of the people world over have been adversely affected.   All efforts to solve this crisis have miserably failed.  The imperialist forces are imposing the burden of this crisis on the working class.  The natural resources of developing and third world countries are being plundered mercilessly and the whole world is being terrorized by the atmosphere of war.

            While elaborating the situation in the country, Com. Pasla said that India is also passing through a very worrisome situation.  The communal-fascist forces under the leadership of Modi  after acquiring power are leaving no stone unturned to destroy the secular and democratic polity of the country and to convert it into a theocratic state.  The policies being implemented by the Government under the directions of imperialist forces are causing price rise, unemployment and hunger with each passing day.  Contrary to the hollow claims of increase in GDP, the economy of the country is becoming critical day in and day out as a result of which the number of unemployed youth is increasing at an alarming rate.   The claims of demonetization and GST have proved to be false.  By demonetization, the ultra rich people of the country have been able to convert their black money into white and the profits of Corporate Houses have increased manifold.   

            The communal-fascist agenda of the Sangh Parivar has come out in the open.   There has been a steep rise in the attacks on minorities, dalits, women and tribal people.  The Government is hell-bent on suppressing the voice of its opponents by  highlighting communal and blind nationalist issues. Many intellectuals, writers and journalists having dissent and scientific ideology are being attacked and killed.  An atmosphere of terror is being developed to silence their voice.  So, the overall situation in the country is very grim as a result of which there is wide-spread unrest amongst the toiling masses.  

            Com. Pasla said that in such a situation, RMPI will strive hard to stop the advance of these communal-fascist forces and will tooth and nail oppose the neo-liberal policy of the Government by uniting all left forces. 

            On this occasion, prominent writer, progressive journalist and chairman of the Reception Committee Sh. Gulzar Singh Sandhu extended a warm welcome to the delegates. He expressed the hope that this 1^st Conference of the RMPI will go a long way in diverting the flow of  Indian politics towards the ‘bhai-lalos’ of today and prove to be an epoch-changing event. 

            Before this, Comrade K.K.Rema hoisted the red flag in the sky rocketing slogans of “Inquilab Zindabad” and the delegates who came from Kerala, Tamilnadu, Punjab, Maharshtra, U.P., Haryana, Himachal, Delhi, Chandigarh, Bengal, Bihar, Dadar Nagar Haveli, Gujrat states of India paid floral tributes to the martyres of communist movement at the ‘Martyer Column’.

            The Conference passed a resolution paying homage to the martyers who laid their lives while opposing the murderous attacks of capitalist/ imperialist forces and also to the rationalist leaders/ journalists like Sh.Narinder Dabolkar, Sh.Gobind Pansare, Prof. M.M. Kulburgi and Ms. Gauri Lankesh.  In another resolution,  homage was also paid to the departed leaders/ workers of left movement.   

            Through another Resolution the Conference expressed deep sense of anguish on the death of many children and innocent people in Gorakhpur (UP), Maharashtra, Rajasthan and other parts of India due to the utter negligence of the State Governments. It also expressed grief over the suicides of farm-labourers and farmers and hundreds of people being killed in  road accidents daily and the death of more than two dozen people in the fire incident at Ludhiana.

            After this, the Conference will deliberate upon the programme in the next sessions.
