UNCOVERED: Yechury calls for broad based struggle | History Defined

CPI (M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury has said the party will spearhead a nationwide campaign against the “unrelenting attack” on the tenets of the Constitution, democratic rights and civil liberties by the BJP regime at the helm in the Centre from August 1 to 15, marking 75 years of Independence.

Addressing the inaugural session of the three-day meeting of the CPI (M) State committee in Kazipet of Hanamkonda district on Monday, Mr Yechury said the ensuing fortnight-long campaign would feature a host of mass contact programmes to mobilise a broad-based mass movement against the BJP-RSS Hindutva forces.

Reaffirming his party’s resolve to wage a spirited struggle to protect the pillars of the Indian Constitution – secular democracy, social justice, federalism and economic sovereignty, he underlined the need for building a broad front involving the Left, secular and democratic forces against the BJP regime at the Centre to protect the secular and democratic character of the nation.
