‘Modi hatao.. Desh bachao’ fight to protect Constitutional values: Binoy Viswam
CPI State Council second meeting in Mangaluru
Mangaluru, Jan 11: Communist Party of India (CPI) national secretary and Rajya Sabha Member Binoy Viswam said that it was inevitable for the secular parties and organizations to take up united fight with a slogan ‘Modi hatao - Desh bachao’ to protect the Constitutional values.
Addressing a two-day convention of the CPI State Council here on Friday, Binoy Viswam said that Narendra Modi-led anti-labourers and fascist government was ruling the country due to which, the Constitutional values have lost their relevance. The foundation of the democracy was shaking. At this time, the secular parties which have faith on democracy are forming together and the voting against the BJP in the five states assembly elections was a good development. Also it was inevitable to topple the Narendra Modi government to protect the democracy, he said.
By announcing 10 per cent reservation to the poor from the upper caste, the central government has been trying to cheat the people of the country. Thus, it has proved that the central government was against the poor. The government has fixed up to Rs 8 lakh annual income to get the 10 per cent reservation, which means, the ‘poor’ beneficiary would have Rs 66,600 salary per month. But though the labourers have been protesting demanding Rs 18,000 per month, the central government has not considered their demand, he said.
The concept of Swaraj of Gandhi means, providing Food, Shelter and Education to all. Unfortunately, it was not fulfilled even after 70 years of independence. Now, Modi who says ‘Sab ka saath, sab ka vikas’, was with ‘Ambani, Adani ka saath’ and he was not with the poor, he alleged.
Shantaram Pai, BV Kakkilaya, Subbarao and others of Mangaluru have contributed a lot to the country through CPI, Binoy recalled.
CPI national council member PV Lokesh, State secretary Sathi Sundaresh, Leaders Anantha Subbarao, Vijay Bhaskar, Dakshina Kannada and Udupi district secretary V. Kukyan, Sitaram Berinje and others were present.

Lok Sabha adjourned till 12 noon over Adani, Sambhal issues
New Delhi (PTI): Lok Sabha proceedings were adjourned till 12 noon on Thursday amid protests by Opposition members over the Adani issue, violence in Uttar Pradesh's Sambhal and other issues.
As soon as the House met for the day, Congress leaders Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, who was elected from Kerala's Wayanad in the recent bypoll, and Ravindra Vasantrao Chavan, who was elected from Maharashtra's Nanded, took oath as Lok Sabha MPs.
Immediately after the oath taking of the two new members, many Opposition members, including from the Congress, were on their feet as they sought to raise issues related to the allegations against the Adani Group and other issues.
Some members from the Congress and Samajwadi Party were in the Well while other Opposition members stood in the aisle and shouted slogans.
Speaker Om Birla asked the Opposition members to allow the Question Hour and said they can take up their issues later.
"I have been giving you enough opportunities to raise your issues and will continue to do so in future. But your way of systematic blockade of the proceedings is not acceptable. The issue which you want to raise has nothing to do with the country," he told the protesting members.
Birla said people have chosen the MPs as their representatives to raise the genuine issue of the people but they were resorting to disrupt the proceedings of the House which is not good.
He said there were difference of opinions in the Constituent Assembly too but those were raised in dignified manners.
Amid the din, one question was taken up.
As the protests continued, the Speaker adjourned the House will 12 noon.
The Opposition members wanted to discuss the Adani controversy and the recent violence in Sambhal.
The Adani Group said on Wednesday that Gautam Adani, and his nephew Sagar have not been charged with any violation of the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) in the indictment that authorities filed in the New York court in an alleged bribery case.
