On the Issue of D-Voters in Assam
 
 
The 20th Congress of the CPI (M) notes with deep concern the continuing problem of D-voters in Assam which particularly affects people belonging to the religious and linguistic minorities. The names of some voters have been marked with word `D' (Doubtful) in electoral rolls and on the eve of every Assembly and Lok Sabha elections, some additional names are added to the list of D-voters. The D-voters are suspected to be foreigners entering and living illegally in the state of Assam.

For Rights of Bengali Refugees

Resolution
Adopted at the 20th Congress of the CPI(M), Kozhikode, April 4-9, 2012
 
For Rights of Bengali Refugees
 
 
 
This Party Congress calls upon the Central Government to honour the assurance given by the Prime Minister to sympathetically consider the legitimate demand of the large numbers of Bengali refugees to recognize them as citizens of India. They had fled their country erstwhile East Pakistan and then Bangladesh. A large number of these refugees belong to the Scheduled Castes, mainly namashudra communities and are living in different parts of the country.
This Party Congress recognizes that the heightened insecurity of these communities is because of their exclusion in the current Aadhar drive of citizen identification which makes them even more vulnerable.

Forthcoming Elections: W. Bengal & Kerala

The assembly elections in May 2011 in West Bengal and Kerala will be a major battle between the forces representing the interests of the working people, social justice, secularism and our country’s sovereignty and the forces which are representing the interest of the big capitalists, landlords, the rich and the vested interests that seek a strategic alliance with imperialism and who use communalism, ultra-Left anarchy and divisive politics to achieve their objectives.
