*Left Parties Press Release*
A meeting of six Left parties - Communist Party of India (Marxist),
Communist Party of India, Revolutionary Socialist Party, All India Forward
Bloc, Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist)-Liberation and Socialist
Unity Centre of India (Communist) was held today at New Delhi. They have
issued the following statement:
With the advent of the Modi government in power there is a concerted
rightwing offensive fueled by the corporate-Hindutva forces. There is a
growing onslaught on the people through the imposition of neo-liberal
policies which is going to adversely impact the livelihood of the people.
There is no respite for the people from price rise, unemployment and
corruption.
The Hindutva forces are resorting to aggressive communal activities. The
Modi government's patronage of the RSS and its outfits is aimed at
communalising the educational, social and cultural institutions. There is
rise in communal tensions in different parts of the country.
The Left parties decided to conduct a week long protest campaign between
December 8 to 14, 2014 on the following issues:
(i) Against steps to curtail and dilute the MNREGA

drugs

(iv) Take firm action to unearth black money
(v) Stop infiltration of the RSS and Hindutva ideology in
