Notification of Rules for CAA Signals a Major Political Conspiracy Ahead of 2024 Polls Amendment Act passed in December 2019 signals a major political conspiracy just ahead of the notification of the 2024 poll schedule. The CAA, as indicated by Amit Shah in his famous 'chronology' explanation, is a precursor to a nationwide NRC-NPR exercise aimed at stripping undocumented citizens of their citizenship rights.

The Modi government would like us to believe that it is so committed to the cause of women's reservation that it called a special Parliament session to pass the bill. But the pretension of urgency gets exposed when the implementation of the bill is made contingent on the completion of census and consequent delimitation. What stops us from implementing it immediately?

Himanta Biswa Sharma Must Stop the Evictions Immediately!

The amount of anguish, helplessness and frustration women have to go through to take off their clothes publicly  is unimaginable. Adivasi Women of Silsako were forced to take off their clothes in a state ruled by Hindutva icon Chief Minister Hemanta Biswa Sarma. During the last couple of days, indigenous people hailing from Guwahati’s Silsako area have been protesting against evictions. However, the government did not listen to their demands.

Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh and Union Home Minister Amit Shah Must Resign!

The video of Kuki women being paraded in Manipur reveals the true state of the BJP's 'double engine governance' and brings home the horrific reality of the Sangh brigade's culture of mob violence. The silence maintained by the PM till today has only compounded the crime.

Immediately Roll Back the Anti-Federal Ordinance!

Restore Supreme Court Judgement’s in Letter and Spirit!

The Modi government in order to restore its hold on Delhi legislature and its executive functioning has got the President of India to promulgate an Ordinance that effectively nullifies the Supreme Court’s Constitutional Bench decision.

CPI(ML) welcomes the Supreme Court Constitution Bench verdict on the appointment of members of the Election Commission of India. The Modi government had been brazen in its relentless attempt to erode the autonomy of the Election Commission by packing it with handpicked bureaucrats. While the SC verdict can be expected to put some check on the executive in future appointments, it is surely a matter of grave concern that the appointments that have already taken place remain in force despite the adverse observations of the SC.

Despite a fall in vote share and seat tally, BJP has managed to retain power in Tripura. Like Gujarat and Uttarakhand, in Tripura too the BJP clearly managed to diminish the anti-incumbency factor by changing the Chief Minister a year ahead of the elections. The continuing rise of Tipra Motha as a regional party with popular mass support among the indigenous people of Tripura has been the most significant feature of the Tripura elections.
