Hyderabad, Mar 21 : The Communist Party of India (CPI) has criticised US Speaker Nancy Pelosi's meeting with the Dalai Lama in Dharamsala and termed the Tibet issue an "internal affair" of China.
"The Government should see that their meeting does not turn into an anti-China meeting," said CPI General Secretary A B Bardhan.
"All countries have internal areas where the situation is sometimes disturbed. There should be no interference from anyone," said Bardhan.
Bardhan is in Hyderabad to check the arrangements for the CPI's 20th National Congress, which is scheduled to be held from March 23.
He accused the Congress-led UPA Government of taking India towards a "strategic partnership" with the US, which would harm the country.
"We can be friendly with America, but cannot become its military ally," Bardhan said. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

But when they so much as sniff something even remotely connected to their beloved CTC, they jump up and down shrieking about "anti-Chinese" meetings and conspiracies and demand it to be ended and suppressed.
And again, in this too, Indian communits are like the christoislamics of India whose allegiances are similarly located outside of India (unless India were to become christoislamic, of course, in which case they will finally become loyal). But then, christoislamicommunism is one and the same religion anyway, so this is no surprise.

<b>Upright Kerala police official frequently shifted by Commie LDF</b> Link
Mar 26, 2008
Thiruvananthapuram, March 26 - Kerala Chief Minister V.S. Achuthanandan has come under attack from the opposition for frequently shifting a senior police official, considered by many as an upright officer.
Inspector General of Police (IGP) Rishiraj Singh, recently posted as special officer to tackle illicit liquor menace in the state, has now been given charge of VVIP security.
While the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) criticized Achuthanandan for shunting the IGP out to the new post, the chief minister defended the action.
'He has been given a very responsible job which will include the entire security arrangements of VVIP visitors. It is wrong to conclude that he was shifted for other reasons,' he told reporters here.
However, UDF convenor P.P. Thankachen said everyone knows that he has been shifted because he was doing a good job of cleaning up the illicit liquor lobby.
'Is it not quite clear that the Communist Party of India Marxist (CPI-M)-led government is supported by the illicit liquor lobby. Of late, this officer has been very tough on those in the trade who have close links with the CPI-M. And when he crossed the limits, he was booted out,' Thankachen told reporters.

Free Tibet? Karat utters the K-word
- Leader draws parallel with Indian scenario, says protesters doing 'great disservice' to nation
OUR BUREAU (Kolkata, Telegraph, 1 April 2008)
A child at a rally for Tibet in Sydney on Monday. (Reuters)
Coimbatore/Behrampore, March 31: Prakash Karat today said those who supported the movement for an independent Tibet were doing "a great disservice" to India, which too faces the problem of secessionist demands.
"Those in India who want to join this chorus for an independent Tibet will be doing a great disservice to our own country. Are we going to support a free Nagaland? Or a free Jammu and Kashmir? Or those other secessionist demands?" the CPM general secretary asked.
Karat said he appreciated the central government's stand that anti-China activities would not be allowed on Indian soil. He favoured talks between Beijing and representatives of the Dalai Lama within the framework of the "one-China policy" to sort out their differences.
The CPM general secretary said there was a tendency to violate the sovereignty of nations in the "name of human rights" and "ethnic minorities".
He said he detected a "western design" in such attempts to break up nation states, and cited the instance of Kosovo. The CPM is against secessionism, whether it involves China, any other Asian country or a European nation, he said.
Karat attacked the BJP and National Democratic Alliance convener George Fernandes for their positions on China and Tibet.
The BJP has come out with a statement criticising the government's stand. Fernandes has urged the Centre to boycott China and refuse to allow the Olympic torch into India.
When he was defence minister in the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government, Fernandes had remarked controversially that China was India's enemy number one. Karat, however, cited how the Vajpayee government had to put on record that Tibet was an autonomous region of China.
"That is the correct position," the CPM chief said. "We want a dialogue between the Chinese government and the representatives of the Dalai Lama. Beijing has already said it is willing to hold talks provided the Dalai Lama does not want to go out of the framework of one China."
He added: "Some Indian politicians are toeing the line of certain western powers like the US which would lead to the break-up of larger states in the name of human rights or rights of ethnic minorities."
Asked for his reaction to the way Beijing had summoned Indian ambassador Nirupama Rao in the middle of the night to protest the attack on its embassy in Delhi, Karat said he was not well-versed in diplomatic practices.
In Behrampore, Murshidabad, foreign minister Pranab Mukherjee repeated the Centre's stand that Tibet was an autonomous region of China.
<b>"In 1959, the then Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, had provided shelter to the Dalai Lama on condition that he would independently (with full freedom) preach his religion but would not indulge in any kind of politics that may affect India-China relations," Mukherjee told reporters after inaugurating a BEd College in Suti, Murshidabad, about 275km from Calcutta. "The Dalai Lama is an honoured guest in India and a religious leader. When the Dalai Lama left Tibet for India, it was a part of China. Today, too, Tibet is very much a part of China."</b>
Asked to comment on Fernandes's demands, he said: "When he (Fernandes) was defence minister, he had said that China was enemy number one. Then he went on a trip to China. It was in 1959 that the Indian government had formulated its stand on China, and it is still unchanged."

The outfit has also resolved to be more stringent on international issues. Further, it has decided to recruit full-time members at 16. The number of child recruits, it may be mentioned, is already on the rise in the twin states of Bihar and Jharkhand due to malnutrition and acute poverty in the villages.
Interestingly, the outfit envisioning a classless society has fixed separate norms for membership to people belonging to different classes with a clear bias in favour of the working class. It has prescribed six months obervation period for members coming from working classes and agricultural labourers; one year for middle peasants, petty bourgeoisie and urban middle class; and two years for other classes.
The outfit further clarifies that no one from the exploiting classes (read rich and upper caste people) will be admitted into the party unless he or she hands over his or her property to the party. There is no such bar for the rest.
The outfitâs new constitution reflects a marked change in their strategy with greater focus on the armed struggle. "Armed movement will remain the main form of struggle and the army the main form of organization. Mass organizations and mass struggles are necessary and indispensable but their purpose is to serve the war. The immediate and most urgent task is to establish a full-fledged people's liberation army (PLA) and by developing and transforming guerilla zones and guerrilla bases," the constitution reads.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

the final solution: communists are simply killing hindus in kannur district. and in calicut, it is mohammedans doing it.
i got this appeal to help the poor hindus. i believe it is a genuine appeal.
note in particular 24-33, the victims in maraad when a group of armed mohammedans ambushed them on a beach where they were relaxing. these were fishermen, presumably scheduled caste. but nobody is bothered about their rights. everyone is worried that the mohammedans have not been able to come back and occupy their houses among hindus. yes, these were people who had known about the coming massacre and had strategically left the area en masse quietly a day before; and from whose mosques blood-stained swords were found; note that mohammedan women had formed a cordon around the mosques to prevent police from going in. so the mohammedan females are active collaborators in jihad.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->See further at link (includes list with the names of the poor Hindus killed by islamiterrorism and communiterrorism).

It's a searing image from the Gulf War of 1991. There were 180,000 Indians trapped in Saddam's Iraq, starving. But the well-fed cats and dogs of the citizens of western nations, sobbed the Indian Ambassador in sheer frustration, had higher priority on the UN's evacuation flights than starving Indian children. Last week this priority system came flashing back in the words of President Subbiondo dof the <b>California Institute of Integral Studies.</b>
It was a terrible week again for Indian children. According to Times of India, <b>"a large number of Maoist guerrillas ran amok in a Bihar district bordering Nepal reportedly killing up to 21 people. ..Over 300 Maoist guerrillas.. attacked the Madhuban bazaar, opened fire,.. set fire to the police station and block office, killing two policemen and a bank guard⦠exploded bombs,.. ransacked (banks) .. bombed houses .. looted cash and jewellery."</b>1
Nothing new there, except the brand-new set of bereaved families. The Comrades have been doing this for the past 60 years. A little primer for those too young to understand what "Maoist" means, or how it relates to "Marxist", "Communist", and "People's Tribunals":
Red Amoebic Fission
Frustrated with elections, dissent etc., the would-be Stalins and Maos of the Communist Party of India (CPI) have spun off ever-more violent terrorist groups. The Chinese-funded CPI (Marxist) successively delegated Class War to the CPI (M-Leninist), CPI (ML-Trotskyite), and CPI (ML-Maoist). This last entity is also called "Naxalite", after the West Bengal village of Naxalbari where they started Class War by robbing and beheading farmers and any other productive citizens in the early 1970s. Short-lived in Kerala, where it ran afoul of the CPI (M)'s own protection racket, Naxal terrorism has thrived in Andhra and Jharkhand, and is now starting in Orissa. The "People's War Group" (PWG) of the CPI (MLM) had a website announcing <b>"People's Tribunal"</b> Death Warrants for 3 elected, serving Chief Ministers of Indian States. In 2003, CPI (ML) and CPI (MLM) merged into CPI (Maoist), which is on the US State Department's list of terrorist groups along with its Nepalese counterpart, CPN (Maoist).

Most Newsworthy: <b>Our Heroine's Travails</b>
So does any of this trigger concern? Apparently not at the San Francisco Chronicle, nor at<b> CIIS.</b> What is far more important is that <b>Associate Professor Angana Chatterji of the CIIS</b> managed to get citizens in otherwise-peaceful Orissa state <b>so mad that they walked out on her </b><b>"People's Tribunal"</b> and <b>made her destroy the tapes she had made of their comments under false pretences.

Among other antics.
The agreed facts are:
1. <b>A team of some seven leftist (or "People's") activists calling themselves the "People's Tribunal" came to Bhubhaneshwar, Orissa and started taping statements from the gracious locals. Presumably, the locals were led to believe that this was an official government delegation.
</b>
2. The con was going hunky-dory until the witnesses got a FAX from someone who recognized their interrogators. Calling back, the witnesses learned with growing rage that the interrogator(s) had been seen addressing meetings of the CPI (M), were probably foreign-funded, with at least one member being considered to be rabidly anti-Hindu (anti-India?)
3. Tribunal member "Dr. Hans", a local professor, went out to see what was keeping the witnesses, and upon finding out, "went home directly". Didn't see any need to return and warn the damsels-in-imagined-distress, or call police. Drove home. Perhaps didn't appreciate being made a goat.
4. The locals, realizing that the "Tribunal" was not an official government delegation with senior jurists, but a gang of leftists with their hired lawyers, returned and <b>demanded that the tapes be destroyed, and advised the Tribunal to leave town.</b> Whether they yelled: "Rape!" "Tape!" or "Ape!" is open to question, per comments at the Sulekha.com portal, but certainly tempers seem to have flared.

The people of Nandigram today defied both Mamata Banerjee and state Congress president Priya Ranjan Dasmunshi and unanimously decided to fight together against the CPM in the coming panchayat polls on their own.

The local leaders of all anti-CPM parties took the decision at a meeting at Nandigram today. The panchayat elections would be held in three phases beginning May 11.
Candidates of the CPM and other Front parties had already filed their nomination papers for contesting zila parisad, panchayat samiti and anchal pradhan elections.
Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee today met chief secretary A.K. Deb, home secretary Ashoke Mohan Chakraborty and DGP Anup Bhora at the Writers Buildings and discussed the preparations for the polls.
After the meeting, the home secretary said they had demanded one company of paramilitary forces from the Centre for its deployment in the state during the panchayat elections, but the demand was turned down.
He said the government was taking extra precautionary measures in the Naxalite-dominated areas of Purulia, Bankura, Birbhum, Midnapore and Burdwan, where several CPM workers and their supporters were killed by Maoists recently.
He said superintendents of police were told to identify specific areas where major disturbances were apprehended during the polls and accordingly the forces would be deployed.
CPM state secretary Biman Bose alleged today that there was an unholy alliance of communal and reactionary forces against the CPM, but still the party would win the maximum number of seats in the three-tier panchayat polls.

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin--><b>Marxist thuggery </b>
The Pioneer Edit Desk
CPM's murderous campaign in Bengal
The situation in West Bengal continues to worsen by the day with the CPI(M)'s lumpen cadre on the rampage, targeting anybody who dares to stand up to Marxist thuggery. The ongoing panchayat elections in the State have been reduced to a farce and the results can be predicted even without counting the votes. Desperate to retain its stranglehold over rural Bengal, where people have begun to rebel against the CPI(M)-led Left Front Government's policy of grabbing prime agricultural land in the name of setting up industrial units, apart from its abysmal failure to check increasing impoverishment of the masses, the Marxists have dropped all pretences of practising democratic politics and taken recourse to what they do best: Bludgeoning people into submission. The shameful manner in which Opposition candidates have been disallowed the right to contest the panchayat elections through coercion and worse and potential anti-CPI(M) voters have been chased out of their homes in numerous places bears witness to the reign of terror that has been unleashed by those who wax eloquent on the need for free and fair elections from their perch at Alimuddin Street in Kolkata and AK Gopalan Bhavan in New Delhi. The level to which the Marxists, who never tire of pontificating on political morality and finding fault with others, can stoop to achieve their goal is demonstrated by the contemptible attempt to frame an upright officer of the CRPF for refusing to follow the instructions of a certain CPI(M) member of Parliament whose claim to fame is no different from that of a dreaded criminal. Having subverted every agency of the state, including the State Election Commission, it is not surprising that the CPI(M) has faced no obstacles in its murderous campaign to seize control over panchayats and thus exercise absolute power over the masses.
This is not about politics as it is understood in democratic societies; it is about supplanting political pluralism with single party dominance. Since this cannot be achieved through free and fair elections, the CPI(M) has opted for the only alternative: Relentless and terrifying violence. The victims of the rapacious Marxists's lust for power are not necessarily activists and supporters of the Trinamool Congress -- the other Congress has reconciled itself to the role of a collaborator in the hope of crumbs being thrown its way -- but, as the latest incidents of violence show, also those of the CPI(M)'s allies in the Left Front. The RSP has reason to feel angry and bitter that its members and leaders should be maimed and murdered by Marxist cadre. But it lacks the courage to walk out of an alliance that has clearly been reduced to no more than what CPI(M) leader Biman Bose has described as a "political necessity". Yet, if the lesser partners of the CPI(M) were to walk out of the Left Front, the Marxists would have had to struggle to retain the edge over their electoral foes -- the fraction of votes that ensures the perpetuation of CPI(M) rule in West Bengal is contributed by the RSP, the Forward Bloc and the CPI. For all their threats to walk out of the Left Front, the CPI(M)'s 'allies' continue to meekly submit themselves to humiliation and more. It is not 'ideology' that keeps them together, but the temptation of loaves and fishes of office. Meanwhile, West Bengal continues to pay a terrible price
