Dear Prime Minister Modi Ji, Shamelessness is characteristic with demagogues. Not with compassionate statesmen. It can make you a cunning salesman, not a benevolent leader. Follow this thread on shame. (1/12)
ECI’s Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls in Bihar is not routine. It’s a tool of exclusion. It targets Dalits, migrants, labourers and minorities. BJP wants to win Bihar by erasing voters. Read @ComradeDRaja’s article in Indian Express: indianexpress.com/article/opinio…
#ExpressOpinion | “The right to vote for an eligible citizen is not a privilege that should be filtered through bureaucratic red tape. It is a right and any attempt to limit it under the pretext of administrative reform must be challenged firmly and decisively” @ComradeDRaja on…

CPI deplores the Bombay HC’s biased remarks rejecting our plea for a Palestine solidarity meet. Gandhiji stood with Palestine seeing their struggle as our own. To question our patriotism for upholding that legacy is an affront to India’s freedom movement and democratic values.

Odisha will shut down tomorrow in outrage & mourning. A student set herself on fire after BJP leaders ignored her pleas against sexual harassment. We demand judicial inquiry, punishment, and action against those who silenced her. Odisha will not forgive. #JusticeForSoumyashree
A girl student of FM College in Odisha had to set herself on fire after months of sexual harassment. She cried for help. Reached out to BJP MPs, MLAs, Union Ministers and the CM. No one heard her. No one took any action. This is not a failure. This is institutional torture and…
It is utterly unacceptable that in Jammu & Kashmir, the LG’s administration and J&K Police prevented even the elected Chief Minister @OmarAbdullah, along with citizens and leaders, from paying their respects at the Martyrs’ graveyard on July 13, arresting and manhandling them.…
