Mineral Policies

On Central Government’s Mineral Policies and for Tribal Rights

Resolution
Adopted at the 20th Congress of the CPI(M), Kozhikode, April 4-9, 2012
 
              
On Central Government’s Mineral Policies and for Tribal Rights
 
The 20th Congress of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) expresses it strong opposition to the mineral mining policies being followed by the Central Government which have led to the loot and plunder of the country’s natural resources. Instead of holding the mineral wealth in Public Trust for the long term benefit of the country and her people, the Government has misused its absolute and arbitrary powers to provide huge profits and windfall gains to private mining companies, global and national, while exploiting and dispossessing the masses dependent on these lands.
